City of Dreams presents Mega Magic 2014

A year after internationally acclaimed magician Franz Harary’s outdoor stunt with Hong Kong sweetheart Fiona Sit, the artist is back for the “Franz Harary Mega Magic 2014” on August 8 and 9 at City of Dreams Macau – a show that is designed to create a magical evening full of extraordinary feats. Last summer, the magician brought his magic performance to the Macau stage. This year, he will join forces with three other worldwide performing magicians: Christopher Hart, Les Arnold and Dolly Kent.
Awarded the title “Illusionist of the Decade” by the International Magician Society, Franz Harary has taken his magic to all parts of the world. He is considered a pioneer of magic on a grand scale. His most famous acts include the disappearance of the Taj Mahal in India and the Sphinx in Egypt, and the transformation of a car into an elephant in the Singapore Zoo, leaving the audience in awe in all cases.
Ever since his collaboration with Michael Jackson in the “1984 Jacksons Victory Tour,” the flamboyant illusion master has worked with countless superstars, including Janet Jackson, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Usher and Ayumi Hamasaki, breaking new ground with innovative live illusions and introducing magic as a viable element in today’s concert productions.
