Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that “The Doug Henning Project” will be taking a brief hiatus over the holiday season. But, don’t worry, I’ll be returning with all new magic and wonder in January, 2023 (which is the site’s sixth year by the way). I sincerely wish everyone a joyous and…

Doug Henning and His World of Lookalikes! Part Three

And today concludes the “Doug Henning Lookalike Hall of Fame.” Granted it was a somewhat goofy deep dive into fandom. However, how many magicians do you know of that had such a distinctive look it leant itself to a costume? Not many, if at all really. That’s our Doug for you!

Doug Henning and His World of Lookalikes! Part One

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If that’s the case, then before I take a couple weeks off for the upcoming holiday season, I wanted leave you with the very best that the internet has to offer of fan’s homemade Doug costumes!  Some are great, some are inspired, and some are an…

“Earth, Wind, and Fire” Opening and Closing Concert Footage

I’ve covered it a little in past posts (not many) that Doug did some consulting and design work for prominent musicians of the 1970s and 1980s. Not least of which was “Earth, Wind, and Fire.” In a previous post, I came across some pictures of some of the work he had done for the group. However,…

Instagram Doug Henning Art

Occasionally, I like to feature the “best” of what the internet and Instagram has to offer in terms of Doug Henning art. I had to put this one up. Other than Doug making an alien’s life uncomfortable, I’m not really sure what is going on here. But, that doesn’t stop me from 100% loving it!…

The Co-Stars of “The Magic Show”

Over the last five and a half years, I have posted a lot of photos of Doug in “The Magic Show.” Probably in the hundreds, and that’s understandable. It was Doug’s show after all! However, I wanted to give the co-stars of the production a just due.  A few years back, I posted some of…

1980 Osmond Family Christmas Appearance

The above clip comes from Doug’s appearance one the 1980 Osmond Family Christmas special. I had posted the full special in 2019. However, as we enter the first weekend in December, I wanted to just show the full seven minute clip of Doug performing with the kids. As expected, it’s fun, joyous, Christmasy, and pure…
