This newly filmed video for Playbill.com is a must for Doug fans. At the 1:33 mark, Lane reminisces about his time on the “Merlin,” and hints at the drama that ensued during its production.
Other than a few jokes in other interviews, I’ve never heard Lane talk about the show so much. It’s fascinating getting a glimpse into how getting the show played out in his own life at the time, as well as its notoriously long preview period.
Special Thanks to Michelle Ainsworth for sending this video to me this week.
Having seen his shows on tour twice at the Orpheum in Minneapolis and attending his TM lectures and his TV specials, I can say that he was the greatest of his generation and a hero to many magicians that followed.
