Illusions of Grandeur

In Illusions of Grandeur, up-and-coming street magician, Zack Mirza, strives to take his magic skills to the next level. In this new docu-series, Zack's on a quest to become one of the best-- in the same league as Blaine, Copperfield and Houdini. But first he must rise to the challenge of this epic journey as he travels to twelve cities in twelve weeks, performing dozens of brand new illusions. On this magic pilgrimage, Zack walks in the footsteps of the greats and brings his brand of street magic to cities like Toronto, New York, Austin, Las Vegas and Detroit. In each city, Zack focuses on a different style of magic like mentalism, escapes, or card magic. He wows locals with tricks on the street, and digs deep into each city's magic culture. Drawing inspiration from history's greatest magicians, Zack performs all new effects and puts his own spin on classic illusions. All of Zack's magic is performed live in front of real people, without the use of camera tricks, leaving viewers captivated by the genuine, larger-than-life reactions.
