Blackpool Magic Convention is just around the corner, over 3,500 magicians will head to the Winter Gardens for a weekend of magic, illusion and entertainment.

Andy Reay managed to grab some time with top international illusionist Franz Harary, listen to his magical influences growing up, and what special things he’s packing in his freight container to bring to Blackpool to amaze both Magicians and the public. He also discusses his relationship with those he’s worked in the music industry, designing magic and illusions to fit around their style and his view of the changing face of magic and technology today.
