In the annals of Doug Henning history, the name Jim Steinmeyer looms large. Having been discovered by Doug at the age of 16, Jim went onto help shape the latter part of Doug’s career from the specials, to Merlin, and beyond. 

In 2017, Genii Online sat down with Jim for a wide ranging six-part interview. As you can see, Jim is quite a story teller, and was even one of my first interviews for “The Doug Henning Website.”

So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this first part!
