Las Vegas Entertainment Today described it best when they said, “His easy manner with the audience combined with a magical skill second to none, is what the audience remembers after the curtain goes down.”
With regular appearances in the casino showrooms of Las Vegas, Atlantic City, Biloxi, and aboard top cruise liners around the world, Harry has led a diverse career, opening for such stars as The Supremes, Rita Rudner, Joey Bishop, Billy Eckstine, Rich Jeni, Rosie O’Donnell, Frankie Avalon and others.
He has entertained U.S. presidents, celebrities, and international royalty and has won numerous awards on behalf of companies and corporations, including “Best Television Commercial” for the Printing Industry (NAQP) and “Best Convention Booth” (for the Builders Association).
Harry Maurer’s shows are fun, but never offensive and are a perfect blend of magic, comedy and audience participation.
The Perfection of Deception
Magicians Who Changed History!
Magicians keep secrets... that’s their job! Would it surprise you to know that governments around the world have used magicians’ specialized talents to achieve their goals? For example, did you know that Houdini was a spy for the U.S. Secret Service? Did you know that Winston Churchill credited a magician with changing the direction of World War II?
These are just two of the facts you will discover during Harry’s lecture and PowerPoint presentation about magicians who have affected history in ways that you would never have expected!
- A magician who illuminated his backyard with electricity decades before Thomas Edison had even invented the light bulb!
- A world famous magician who was recruited as a government spy (for two countries!)
- A magician who was asked by his government to use his magic to stop a political uprising
- A magician who wrote “Manuals of Deception” for the CIA
- Another who, through a blend of gumption, theatrics and applications of science, physics, psychology, and a deep understanding of human nature, was responsible for winning one of the major battles of World War II!
It is a fascinating presentation filled with mystery and intrigue peppered with just a “little bit of magic” about magicians who have literally changed world history. The lecture is a fun and intriguing presentation and will interest anyone who enjoys history, political science, psychology and human nature!
