The Right Picture (TRP) is taking every step possible to make sure that India's first ever reality show based on magic will be world class. The makers have roped in Franz Harary to be a consultant for their ongoing show on Star One- India's Magic Star judged by Jackie Shroff.

Franz is an American magician and inventor who is well known for his skills all over the world.

According to our source, "TRP has finalized things with Franz Harary. Apparently he is as good as David Blaine and David Copperfield, if not better. He will not only be a consultant for creative ideas but also help the contestants in executing those ideas."

Apparently, the magician will also have some screen time. "Franz will also be seen in few of the episodes," the source adds.

Franz Harary fiddled with illusions just for the love of it. When his love got serious, he convinced his university's (Michigan University) marching band leader to let him perform during half time. This triggered his career as an entertainer.

Franz is the brains behind Michael Jackson's mindblowing levitating act during his 'Victory' Tour in 1984.
