[Richard Kaufman]

Here's quite a lengthy article and interview with Franz Harary about his enormous $40 million dollar magical theatrical complex that's opening this fall:

Thanks, Roger. I am truly brain dead at this moment.

Thanks for the link. I think Harary's theme park and Hobson's Illusionarium are the most interesting projects in the world right now, from a production perspective. They are attempts to institutionalize magic as part of "the vacation experience."

In case anyone is interested: I found Harary's free-download Penguin Magic lecture quite good, especially the last two hours. He pitches products a few times (which is perhaps why the lecture is free) but spends most of the time giving in-depth answers to questions. Total run time was around 3 hours.
