BBC History of Magic: Disappearances-Doug Segment

The above Doug segment comes from a 2004 BBC multi-part series called the “BBC History of Magic.” Each episode profiled an individual aspect of the art form, and this one was dedicated to magic’s most endearing illusion “Disappearances.”

The Doug segment, while brief, has some rarely seen interviews with designer John Gaughan and consultant/author Charles Reynolds. However, the creme de la creme of the 2 minutes is seeing Doug being interviewed by Maria Shriver.  The interview delves into Doug and the importance television has been to his career.
