<p>World President of the <strong>International Magicians Society </strong><em>(with over 37,000 members)</em>, <strong>Tony Hassini</strong> has influenced the art of magic across the world by honoring the best in the business with the prestigious <strong>&#8220;Merlin Award&#8221;</strong> for excellence in the art of magic.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.marktwainlive.com/BURGER%20KING.html" title="Secrets of a Marvelous Magical Burger King" target="_blank"><strong>Marvelous Magical Burger King</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Tony is also Chairman and CEO of <strong>Distron Video Corporation</strong>, and has been an innovator on the leading edge of excellence in film, video, and DVD productions since 1973.</p>
