Minnesota Magician Builds Epic Treehouse In Backyard

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- It's a treehouse unlike most.

Twin Cities magician Matt Dunn spent the last year building a big kid's dream treehouse in his backyard in Plymouth.

The treehouse is 480 square feet and has two stories.

It is about as big as a standard two-car garage.

"I love doing magic, making people laugh and doing crazy things that are entertaining," Dunn said.

But after some 5,000 magic shows and a long-running Halloween business called Scream Town, the Plymouth native needed more inspiration to branch out his ideas.

"This is where I come out to get ideas and work on new tricks," he said.

Dunn spent a year building his dream treehouse, but like any good magician, he never stops working on his craft.

"I'd love to maybe add a little zip line off of here," he said.
