He was a legendary comedian. I will admit now that I ran through all the possible scenerios while standing in that line. Hello Mr. Yougman.". Henny t...

In fact, up to last August I could count the amount of scripted material I had on one hand. This fact shows you a few things about my take on magic. You could say I was immature about it, not really taking magic seriously. You would be right. I play it up for laughs. ...

A LITTLE BITE OF MAGIC CHEESE. A STUDY IN MAGIC AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS. Sunday, April 23, 2006. Doug Henning in Glorious Color! Doug Henning produced nine magic specials. None of them are available to the public in any legal way. The movie version of his hit Broadway play The Magic Show is available on DVD, which is nice. But it would sure be fun to see flower child and long haired freaky person Doug interact with, say, Ann Jillion. (Yeah, I don't remember her either.). Wednesday, April 05, 2006. You s...

Over the course of the past week or so I have been privileged enough to see three different types of magic shows.
