With a whacky sense of
humour and unique creative talent Tara Okan can offer so much more
than the average magician. Along with the usual close up magic and
stage illusion shows, this artist is also brilliant at producing
something unique for that special moment in a company or
individual's life.
Take a look at some of these fine examples...
BMW Car Launch
- For BMW the project was to build the illusion of a life size air
field at night. The show was carefully planned chaos for their
guests. "Close encounters of the Third Kind" - futuristic crew in
white Decon Suits and masks, Air craft hangars, flares, lights and
action, sound so loud it was a palpable feeling vibrating through
the very ground the audience was standing on. With fields of dry ice
mist Tara opened a laser tunnel to another dimension, flew a flying
saucer through the field of view. The saucer landed and the new
series BMW was produced live from thin air in the middle of a cone
of light. The next day everything had vanished - air field and all.
Microsoft Staff Conference - Here Tara produced a floor show,
an awards dinner and most importantly, a larger than life exploding
Duck.
Hewlett Packard National Product Launch - Dr. Dos Pentium Von
Hard drive toured New Zealand with a chamber of Frankenstein like
electrical horrors. Opposition products blew up, caught fire, the
lab assistant was variously shot, electrocuted, vanished and had her
clothing torn off as a display device "accidentally" proceeded to
punch a new Hewlett and Packard printer through the ceiling.
Mercedes Benz National Sales launch and new building opening
- The launch plans got in early on this one. With special
modifications included in the building before completion. The launch
was able to drop a brand new Mercedes car through the roof of the
new show room into a designated display space without scratching the
car.
ANZ Bank - A fantasia ball for several thousand costumed
guests. complete with a royal court of fantasy creatures. Merlin
(Tara) appeared in a flash of flame, welcomed the guests, then
opened the proceedings by dissolving an entire wall of the ballroom
revealing a 14 piece band in full cry.
Air New Zealand - On a national recruitment tour a mobile set
was created so as the delegates were seated inside a simulation of a
737 aircraft complete with seats and air crew. At completion of the
presentation the audience was plunged into darkness and before the
eyes of the audience the pilot standing centre stage visibly morphed
into a chrome android robot and paint and light overlays changed the
aircraft set into a space craft.
