One Wacky 1980’s “How To” Magic Article with Doug!

Just when you thought you’ve seen everything. 

In my travels online, I came across this single page, and it’s a bit of a head scratcher to say the least.  Alternately fun and frightening, the article clearly was a “how to” article for kids to learn “magic.”

I love the design choices in this. Taken at face value, a possibly radioactive Doug is floating above children over a city skyline while teaching them a basic knife illusion. The children themselves appear to think everything looks perfectly normal. 

I have no idea what magazine this came from or know what the rest of the article looks like. But, some things are just better left to the imagination.
