Franz Harary Biography

Franz Harary is absolutely unique in the history of magic: he is the first world-class magician to develop and build all of his own illusions, as well as perform them live in front of awestruck audiences. This was best illustrated in November 1994, when Harary disappeared the Space Shuttle in front of a live audience at Kennedy Space Center for an NBC-TV program. Since the fall of 1991, Harary has wowed crowds all throughout Asia, where he has earned acclaim and is frequently swarmed in the streets of Hong Kong, Jakarta, Malaysia, and Singapore. Harary became well-known across his native state of Michigan as an amazing youngster who could enchant crowds with large-scale illusions, combining a life-long love of both music and magic. Harary was born and reared in Ann Arbor, and his fascination with magic, as well as his love of the arts, began when he was a child. From elementary school until college, I performed in plays and shows. Harary explains. He received a classical voice and music scholarship at Eastern Michigan University. Harary persuaded the director of the Michigan Marching Band to allow him to combine his love for music and magic by developing illusions for half-time presentations. Harary once caused the trumpet section to vanish from the 20-yard line and return on the other side of the football field. He also levitated a young player in the middle of the field. Since then, his wizardry has been seen at several athletic events, including the Rose Bowl in 1983 and the Super Bowl in 1989. When he delivered a videotape to superstar Michael Jackson cold in 1983, Harary's career took off. The material so pleased Jackson that a fast meeting was set up, and Harary found himself as the creator of all of the illusions used on Jackson's legendary Victory Tour in 1984. Harary's credits have grown to read like a who's who of today's pop music business since his time with Jackson. Janet Jackson, Alice Cooper, Bobby Brown, MC Hammer, Tina Turner, Earth, Wind & Fire, and numerous others are among his clientele. Harary has reintroduced magic as a viable element in today's live concert performances on his own. Harary has been on television shows all around the world since deciding to start singing live in 1987. He has been on shows such as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, Circus of the Stars, ABC's Sea World Special, and many more in the United States. He's also been in a number of TV programs in Japan, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Mexico, and Italy. He also appeared as a guest star in Indonesia's most popular comedy. That episode received the highest ratings in the show's history. I think MTV's existence has been one of the most fundamental reasons why magic has become such a viable ingredient in rock performances," Harary adds, explaining his unique combination of magic and pop music. The public's desire to see the same marvels of technology and creativity on stage that musicians freely employ in their music videos may be satisfied through magic. Harary continues to bend, twist, and modify the art form's future, inventing new ideas and elevating the phenomena to new heights. For almost 30 years, the magical arts have remained practically unaltered. he declares It's past time to elevate them to the same level of complexity, appeal, and acceptability as cinema, video, and music. It's up to me, I think, to make it happen.
