Franz Harary talking about his collaboration with Glenn from Arcane Realities

"The process is meticulous. After choreographing routines, Harary storyboards hundreds of images to guide Glen in creating LED graphics that harmonize with the dancers’ movements and the illusions on stage. This synchronization is mentally taxing, demanding both right and left-brain engagement. “It is more exhausting than doing the show,” Harary admits. His lack The process is meticulous.

The Most Expensive Card trick -- a 3D projection Mapping Magical dance piece

True to his style, Harary’s version of a card trick was anything but conventional. Employing the help of his choreographer and video designer Glenn Grillo, he created an elaborate LED video segment that doubles as an interactive dance performance. “It’s firstly a dance segment. It’s firstly an interactive LED video dance segment that pays off with me literally pulling a jumbo card out of my pocket and holding it up to the screen.” True to his style, Harary’s version of a card trick was anything but conventional.

It’s firstly an interactive LED video dance segment that pays off with me literally pulling a jumbo card out of my pocket and holding it up to the screen.” The genius lies in the misdirection. The LED display is so engaging that the audience’s attention is completely absorbed , allowing Harary to execute the “the most expensive card trick in history.” Considering the LED setup alone cost around $4 million, the title isn’t far off. Yet for Harary, the real value isn’t in the price tag but in the creative journey. “It’s me doing a card trick after decades of getting crap for not doing card tricks but doing a card trick that I enjoy because the skill set is the LED interaction, not the double lift.”
