Franz Harary:
Creating Real Magic as a Keynote Speaker
With nearly five decades at the forefront of global entertainment, Franz Harary has transformed a life of magic into a message of inspiration. Known for creating illusions for icons like Michael Jackson, Steven Spielberg, the Grammys, the Super Bowl, and hundreds of other legendary productions, Harary’s journey through the highest levels of show business has given him a deep understanding of creativity, ambition, and the psychology of human potential. Today, he shares this insight as a celebrated keynote speaker on international stages.
Franz Harary’s keynote is not a speech—it is an experience. Seamlessly blending storytelling, psychology, illusion, and theatrical flair, Harary captivates audiences with the same brilliance that has earned him standing ovations on the world’s biggest stages. Drawing from his 26 years of collaboration with Michael Jackson, Harary explores the connection between imagination and achievement, and how each of us can tap into the childlike wonder we once knew to unlock new levels of personal and professional success.
Harary’s presentations have become a sought-after highlight for Fortune 500 companies, executive summits, innovation forums, and leadership conferences around the world. His groundbreaking TED Talk received a standing ovation and launched him into a new realm of global recognition as a keynote speaker who not only inspires, but transforms the way audiences see themselves.
Delivering talks in English and, when needed, through translators in China and other regions, Harary uses live illusions and psychological principles to reveal how perception shapes reality. He explains how we are programmed over time to limit our beliefs, and how—through the same tools used in magic—we can retrain our thinking, reshape our goals, and achieve outcomes once thought impossible.
In Franz Harary’s keynote, magic is more than illusion—it’s a mindset.
