Doug Henning: Close-up - 8 incredible close-up magic routines from Doug Henning

[@jonathanaustin8734]

A fond me 80's. mory of watching this man on TV back in the late 70's and early 80's. I have been doing magic and juggling full time since 1990 and he was the original inspiration. I even got to see him in 1986. I believe he stopped performing shortly thereafter. RIP Doug Henning. You remain supreme in my mind and thank you for all you did to make the world a better place.

I've been doing close-up for over 60 years. Doug Henning was one of my two favorite magi along with Harry Anderson. Both these magicians contributed so much to the art. I've met so many wonderful people who are interested in magic. Peace and love to all from S. Oregon.

Doug Henning will always be my all time favorite magician . Best tv specials as a kid . And even better seeing him live on stage when he’d come to town .

That torn & restored paper: elegant method and beautiful presentation.

Tom Mullica had a word on that effect, on The World's Greatest Magic. Beautifully presented by both.

I am so grateful that I got to meet Doug backstage twice. One of the times he bought a big beautiful painting for Debbie.

I remember watching Doug Henning as a young kid in the early 80's. He seemed like a nice guy.

[@RovnoMagic]

Yes he was.

I remember watching World of Magic with my grandma and grandpa back in the 80's. Such a special time.

[@Rhewin]

Was your grandpa named Jim?

I didn't get into magic till 10 years after Doug Henning left magic. Secrets are great to know but when someone as talented as Henning does a trick, secrets make no difference. He was so good that even when you know the secrets, he still fools you. RIP, Little Man.

Well, the Rubik Cube has undoubtedly stood the magic test of time.

In 1988 at a Barbara DeAngelis "Making Love Work" presentation in Los Angeles, Barbara spoke candidly about her first husband. Her recollection of his illusions and of his character was particularly fascinating.

Doug Henning IS the magic......

Nice show; cool and cute persona. :D

[@deadlyapollo]

The kids are like "Your a FING wizard aren't you?"

[@johnhewitt564]

The kids at the beginning look familiar, I could be very wrong,but they look like kid actors from some movie back then. Like I said could be wrong.

[@tailtap2222]

The following year, the Empire Strikes Back will hit theaters across the world. That's real magic. (Cool disco version of Blue Danube, though)

[@DoctorBlankenstein]

It's not even magic... It's like illusion ballet.

[@LevCallahan]

Back when the presentation was *waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay* more melodramatic. Tricks still hold up though.

[@SLYGARR]

Chris Angel isn't melodramatic?

Would like to know why someone down voted this? Is it because there was no downvotes and they had to put one?
