BransonWebcast Episode #26
Guest: Tony Hassini
World President of the International Magicians Society (with over 37,000 members), Tony Hassini has influenced the art of magic across the world by honoring the best in the business with the prestigious “Merlin Award” for excellence in the art of magic.
As a young, hearing impaired child from the Mediterranean Island of Cyprus, Tony found the courage to leave home at the tender age of 16 and travel to London, England in search of a better life. Unable to speak English, and washing dishes to earn a meager living, he stumbled across a local magic shop and his life changed forever. The art of magic gave him the self confidence and opportunity to become somebody special.
His unique ability to combine magic with marketing brought him great success over the years including a very notable campaign he created for one of the largest fast food chains in the country, the Marvelous Magical Burger King.
Tony is also Chairman and CEO of Distron Video Corporation, and has been an innovator on the leading edge of excellence in film, video, and DVD productions since 1973.
Magic changed Tony Hassini’s world… and he, in turn, changed the world of magic!
