Said Gary Dunning, Executive Director of the Big Apple Circus: "We were looking for a partner who could help us provide visitors with a video experience that would be exciting. While we considered a number of technology providers, we found the Magnify.net solution to be elegant and content friendly.

Magnify understood that, and is working closely with our Web team to implement that solution."
