Doug Henning 75th Birthday Zoom Celebration (May 7th, 2022)

I just wanted to give a quick post detailing more information for Chip Romero and S.A.M.’s Doug Henning 75th Birthday Celebration on Zoom. The event itself is 6 hours, and sure to be a blast. I know there will be many important speakers present, and I was thrilled to record something for the event myself. …

Happy 75th Birthday Doug! (Worldwide Zoom Event)

It goes without saying that 75 years ago today, Douglas James Henning was born, and the world was never quite the same. Happy Birthday Doug, wherever you are! You were, and continue to be an inspiration to your fans around the world, and the arts as a whole! In past years, I always make mention…

Happy Birthday David Copperfield!

Happy Birthday to the one and only David Copperfield! As one of the greatest magicians of all time, you don’t need me to tell you how important to magic history David Copperfield is. I wanted to choose a clip today from one of his specials that had an impact on me as a child. One…

Happy Birthday Doug!

Today, May 3rd, is what would have been Doug’s 74th birthday! A website, fan’s remembrances, and collections can never fully substitute for the man himself. However, it’s important that we continue to keep his memory alive and a topic of conversation well into the future. I feel that’s been happening over the last few years,…

Happy Belated Birthday David Copperfield!

Due to a very busy day yesterday away from my desk, I wasn’t able to wish a very Happy Birthday to legendary magician David Copperfield!  So, in honor of the occasion enjoy this clip of David  performing the “Immaculate Connection” illusion from the “Magic of David Copperfield V.”

Happy 73rd Birthday Doug!

I’d be remiss in not mentioning that today, May 3rd, would have been Doug’s 73rd birthday. For someone who is generally frozen in time in the 1970s and 80s, it’s hard to imagine what a 73 year old Doug Henning would be doing in this very different world of 2020. Whatever it would be, I’m…

Happy Third Birthday to “The Doug Henning Project!”

Three years ago today  I started “The Doug Henning Project!” At the time, I wasn’t sure how well it would be received, or if people would even find it at all. Needless to say, the website has exceeded my initial expectations and 543 posts later we’re still here. The support and kindness of Doug’s fans…

Doug Henning: Birthday Performer?

The above newspaper clipping shows evidence that, yeah, if you had enough money Doug Henning would perform at your birthday party. Now, I have no pictures or evidence to corroborate that all the illusions described here occurred. However, if you look up Adnan Khashoggi online he was a pretty wealthy man. So wealthy in fact,…

Happy Birthday Doug!

Today is what would have been Doug’s 72nd birthday! While Doug may be not here to celebrate with us, his memory stays strong in the hearts of everyone who has ever picked up a deck of cards or believes in the power of magic to entertain, thrill, and astound! So, wherever you are today, remember…

Happy Birthday Doug!

If you don’t already know, but you probably already do, today would have been Doug’s 71st birthday. While it’s hard to really know what a 21st-century Doug Henning would be up to, it’s not hard to guess that it would be innovative, boundary pushing, and fantastic! So, from “The Doug Henning Project,” Happy Birthday Doug…

“The Doug Henning Project’s” First Anniversary!

One year ago today I began “The Doug Henning Project” with a post called “Why Doug Henning Matters!”I obviously believe that’s still the case, and the last year has proven that even more to me! It’s because of readers and fans like you that keep this website going. Your words of encouragement, collection pictures, memories,…

Happy 70th Birthday Doug!

Believe it or not, today is May 3rd, Doug Henning’s 70th birthday. So, what better day than today to think about your favorite memory of Doug. Whether it was watching his television specials, seeing a live appearance, being amazed by him on the “Tonight Show,” or maybe even just thinking about some of his memorable 1970s…
