Canadian Magician brought about a revolutionary approach to the Magic World in the seventies.

Around 1974, the illusion had lost its widespread appeal, since there was no specific entity as a famous magician until a young, snuggle toothed Winnipeg boy became a nighttime sensation in an unexpected television series named "The Magic Show.”Doug Henning", in his revolutionary, mind-blowing new approach to the world of fantasy, forever transformed the image of magic and reintegrated the whole group of viewers into a grand dream in a dramatic performance.

Douglas James Henning, ('Doug Henning'), a Canadian magician (born on May 3, 1947, near Winnipeg), enabled us to restore faith in the supernatural realm along with his brilliant attempts and a string of Broadway performances, and TV show in the 1970s and early 1980s. He was an illustrious alchemist who used intelligence and techniques to achieve what sounds impossible to us. Doug Henning was a perfect magician and focused on several iconic escaping acts of Harry Houdini, his mentor. Henning often introduced a light-hearted attitude to his work, adding fun throughout performances that he usually presented by sporting a multicolored T-shirt with a jumpsuit.

An early inspiration to the spectacular magician:

While experiencing childhood in Winnipeg, Canada, as a little youngster, he turned out to be very captivated by enchantment in the wake of viewing a performer on The Ed Sullivan Show play out a levitation demonstration. At age 14, Henning already constructed an anti-gravity play with his sister and had already started playing at parties.

Henning’s mind blending acts are a key for all-time glorious victory……

Doug Henning completed his graduation in philosophy at McMaster College of Ontario in Canada, afterwards, he secured a $4,000 grant from the Canadian government to fund his study of illusion. He utilized the $4,000 and the thousands more he had effectively raised to build up a fruitful stage show entitled Spellbound, which was performed in Toronto.

Doug dressed like a unicorn on the magical floor:

Through his magical displays, he refused the conventional suit with top black hat attire, instead, he preferred bright, brightly colored unicorn-like printed clothes and stockings. He even had long hair as well as a thick wispy moustache.
