339: House of Magic with Franz Harary and Rocco

After years of planning and designing, Franz Harary opened his multi-million dollar dream "House of Magic" in Macau, China in late 2015. In an exclusive, behind the scenes interview, Franz and Rocco show us back stage, in the dressing rooms, in the showroom and in the gift shop in a guided tour. This was recorded on video by Franz Harary but is described in detail as we are taken throughout the "House of Magic" so it is a feast for the ears.

But if you want to see the video, you can view the actual tour on the link provided in this blog to view it on YouTube.

Franz Harary and Rocco give a backstage tour of the "House of Magic by Franz Harary" in Studio City, Macau, China. This video tour was recorded for a podcast posted on The Magic Word at: https://www.themagicwordpodcast.com/scottwellsmagic/339-house-of-magic-with-franz-and-rocco Be sure to check out the podcast for more great conversations with top magicians.
