SNAP ILLUSIONS FAVORITE DOUG HENNING VIDEO

Canadian magician Doug Henning was largely responsible for the resurgence of popularity of magic in the 1970s. Henning appeared on Broadway in The Magic Show before beginning a successful run of World of Magic television specials in 1975. In his first special, Henning recreated Houdini's famous water torture cell escape. Henning's enthusiasm for the wonder of magic, coupled with his rainbow lycra jumpsuits, led to many parodies, but his passion helped inspire countless young magicians. Though he later left performing to study Transcendental Meditation, Henning's name is still synonymous with magic.
