While studying music at Eastern Michigan University and aspiring to be a singer and dancer on Broadway, Harary was designing illusions as a hobby.

His commercial breakthrough happened at the age of 21, during his senior year in college, when he initiated a stage illusion for Michael Jackson's 1984 Victory tour. Harary made Jackson levitate and disappear on one side of the stage to reappear with his brothers on the other side.
