I hate to say it but I noticed how handsome you are first and then the fact that the shirt needed to be more wrinkly or less. LOL I'm so happy for this pinned comment! LOL
I think the Muppet routine with Robin is the first time I can remember seeing Henning. Like Jim Henson, Henning was just a giant kid and his performances were first and foremost kids/family shows, which sort of explains the dancing and bopping.
Doug Henning left us way too soon. I was a kid and I remember watching him on TV doing his crazy style of magic and thinking... THIS is magic. The other people doing magic were magicians, but Doug was pure magic.
I had the pleasure of seeing Doug Henning live in the 70s when he brought his show "The Magic Show" to Broadway. The tricks were standard "big box" stage illusions, but it was a great show anyway.
The one with Kermit makes me feel like the first time I ever saw magic. And Wes, I don’t know how you do it but when I see posts from you I feel like I’m getting a video update from a great friend. Your style and demeanor are just joyful and fun. Thanks for what you do!
I had to go back to that bit when he got in the box after he was the red one. I get a bit suspicious whenever someone completely disappears but didn't realise what was happening, and I didn't notice the first time that you never see his face after "he" comes back up from the behind the red cloth because looking down to close the latches seemed like such natural motion.
"Let's just try to get past the dancing," he says, and here I am having grown up mostly in the 1980s and just loving the nostalgia of it. That dancing is great! It's patter, but without words, and it makes this all "play" just as much as the silly clothes.
I remember Doug Henning when I was a teen in NY. He had his Broadway show and didn’t have money to see him, but at the time he was as big as Copperfield, bu t he was a hippy.
Doug Henning was the first magician I ever saw, and I was truly amazed and blown away by his shows. Here in the U.K. we would get his TV Specials at Easter or some holiday, but as a child I remember him so vividly and with such fondness he was, without doubt, the first magician to blow my mind. Such a talent and even with today’s standards you can still see he was a perfectionist. His disappearing motorcycle was the one trick which I remember so well. He was incredible and a trail blazer and is truly missed. Love the channel and much respect.
born in 66 so I was fortunate to see all (nearly) the TV performances of Copperfield and especially Henning because he was the first for me. thanks Wes.
I am so blessed. My mum and dad took me to see him in Pittsburgh, Pa when I was a little kid. I can remember being completely blown away by it but always thought that’s just because I was in grade school and had never seen anything like it. I’m glad to hear that even another magician is stoked on him.
My dog Dougie is named after Doug Henning... he was a crate dog until he escaped from his crate... Spellbound was the Canadian Show, amazing group of canadian entertainers worked on it.... David Cronenburg, Howard Shore, Ivan Reitman... the Broadway show was "the Magic Show"
Doug Henning was the first magician I truly loved watching. I used to look forward to his specials every year. I was fortunate to see him live in the mid-80s when he was on tour.
Thanks Wes! I did not know of Doug Henning but I will be checking out his work now. So just FYI if your view count goes down for a bit I am sorry... but it is kinda your fault for introducing him to me. I joke but your heart can be happy for introducing him to another fan in me. Thanks again.
I remember Doug Henning who was often on TV when I was growing up, he was always entertaining and very "different" from other magic acts. R.I.P. Doug and thanks for all the memories!
My father actually met him when they were on a talk show together. Henning was a true acrobat, my ol man said he had a lock put in the stage which he placed his cane into then used his strength to tip sideways up into the broom suspension type thing but no harness...
I loved Doug Henning when I was a kid. Well, I loved (and love) all magicians, even if they're not very good at it. I still think that, of all the magicians that I've seen, Doug is still the best of the lot. Which is really saying something because I think there are more top-notch magicians now than ever in my lifetime. But I hadn't seen his work in decades, and had forgotten how marvelous he was. Thank you for reminding me!
Thanks Wes. My grandma had a bunch of his shows taped on old VHS that played for us when we were little that we lost in a move and I had kind of forgotten about him.
I never knew "magic" was a Doug Henning parody until I saw your video. DUDE I rewound the clip. He let go with both hands, but kept his left one right next to the pole in case something went wrong he could grab back on. You're number 2 in my book!
Thanks for this memory. I saw him on Broadway as a young man. I recall seeing his torn and restored newspaper several times. He was unique and died too soon.
Never even heard of Henning till now. But I had seen clips and dismissed them as 70's bizzareness and failed to understand how ground breaking and historic they were.
You're so right about Doug Henning. I saw him live about 1977 in Evansville, Indiana... reignited my interest in magic. I have the broadway cast album of "The Magic Man"... some pretty good songs.
One of the magicians I would watch every single time they were on TV. When I was younger I was gifted with seeing David Copperfield live where I was growing up. One of the best times.
My favorite thing about Henning's magic was the simplicity of his close-up tricks. Other magicians of the time would wave their hands and say magic words and reach behind you to pluck a coin from behind your ear. Henning would just reach in and take the coin. No distractions, just simple magic. And yes, there may have been some recreational pharmaceuticals involved, but it worked for him. The man was a genius who brought a lot of wonder to my youth.
I remember watching the Doug Henning specials when they aired. He was the first magician I saw do metamorphosis and it was amazing. He made magic magical.
How’s it going Wes!! I know of Doug Henning. I can remember watching him as a kid. If I remember correctly I would say he was kinda the weird Al of magic. I knew I remembered him from the muppet show, wow!! Brings back some memories!Thanks for sharing and great to see both you and Chris back after filming your show. I look forward to seeing it . Thanks again and take care and stay safe and healthy.
Hi Wes - your item on Doug Henning took me back to 1983. I had been performing in Toronto (the show, Oliver, had come from the UK), saw that Doug Henning was performing on Broadway in his show Merlin (with Chita Riviera, and Nathan Lane in his second Broadway show, as well as a young Christian Slater as a young Merlin) so I got myself down there. Apart from Chita camping it up as the Evil Queen, and the kookiness of Henning himself, there are two stand-out memories for me - the moment after a huge Samurai-type suit of armour had been constructed of separate items (was it by Chita?) and it came to life. The other was an illusion in the show, that a British Illusionist David Devant (1868 - 1941) had performed back in the early 1900’s and which I had read about in a book (The Boys Book of Magic) when I was 10 years old. It was his ‘Moth to Flame’. In this, a girl dressed in lightweight flowing silk garments with moth-like wings, flutters about the stage before the illusionist comes close with a lighted candle. She folds her wings across her body and after a couple of seconds of hovering there, she instantaneously disappears. In Merlin, as soon as the girl came on stage and Henning held the candle, I realised what we about to see - and I had waited some 30 years to witness it. It did not disappoint - a fabulous illusion. Keep up the good work Wes!
I think I have heard Doug's name before, but other than that, I am very glad to learn about him in this video! I guess that Wes will always be 2nd (to none)- like his coffee.
I loved watching the Henning TV specials. Never missed his shows. I also remember a magic show that aired on Saturday mornings. It was a family (the magician, wife & son). Unfortunately don't remember the name of the family or the show.
Growing up, I always loved watching magic, but the magicians all seemed the same. Doug Henning made magic seem much more fun! He was the "cool" "hippie" magician, that seemed to break the stereotype of what a magician was at the time. I never realized he was Canadian. OH, and ONLY 10 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE PREMIER OF BIG TRICK ENERGY!! :)
Definitely on something. Jokes aside, this made me wanna do more research on other magicians that paved the way. I fell in love with it but need to know more. Always learning
Glad you went on Blocked Party and I found your channel (great ep btw). I remember seeing you on Fool Us and thought it was a great act and now I'm getting back into magic. The hyper serious variety was never for me so glad you're doing what your doing.
Thanx Wes. I couldn’t agree more. I saw Doug in 1980 in LA. Though I’d been to the Magic Castle several times as a kid in the 70s, Doug broke any mold there was, using ‘standard’ effects re-imagined. The only full-size magic poster (30x45 inches) I have hung is of Doug Henning.
I've never heard of or seen Doug Henning before but this was awesome, thanks Wes! Definitely is on my list of top favorites😁👍 What Doug Henning does is what true magic looks like. A perfect mix of humor & fantasy along w/some really fooling & unexpected reveals. I really love the Kermit the frog bit. I'm always excited to see a new video from you Wes, just about everytime I learn something new about the history of magicians✌️😜
Henning pretty much retired from magic around 1986, and went full wacko. His devotion to Transcendental Meditation probably contributed to his early death. I remember him most for his run for Prime Minister in 1993 with the Natural Law Party. Part of his platform was to replace our national defences with an army of Yogic fliers, who would float in the air and project a force field around the country. Guy was nuts.
I remember watching him and others when I was a kid. The theatrical aspect is nice, but I am much more impressed by close-up sleight of hand these days.
First off, I’m not a magician, just a casual fan of magic. I’m glad you brought up Doug Henning. Brings back some great memories. I probably saw all of the TV specials back then. The ultimate was when I saw him at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood in ‘81. I still remember paying the unheard of sum of $25/tkt!! (Major concerts back then were $10/$12). My mind was absolutely blown! Seeing it in person totally blew the TV experience out the window. Don’t remember much of it now other than making a tiger disappear from a cage 20ft in the air, and the finale - he called it the “world’s fastest illusion”. Don’t know what it’s called (I know you do!) but... Lady cuffed, bagged, chained inside a box. Doug in his leotards stands on the box, lifts up a hoop with a curtain all the way around, counts 1, 2, throws the hoop in the air, girl catches it, says “3” and immediately drops the ring. Doug is in the box, in the bag, in the cuffs... IN A TUXEDO!! Still my favorite illusion of all time!!
Henning on TV began mesmerizing this little boy in 1976 & The Magic Show cast album was constantly checked out by me from the Library. Plus, I had a huge crush on Anita Morris & who wouldn't? Anyway, I haven't read all of the comments but there's a great biography on him folks should check out if they are interested: Spellbound: The Wonder-filled Life of Doug Henning by John Harrison
Henning was my very first magic crush (non-sexual). Seeing him do Leipzig’s rolling paper tear was the bomb...he justknew exactly how to be convincing.Runner up? Kreskin, prove me wrong 😋
Doug Henning on TV, The Man They Call Raveen at community centres, and a close up magician working in a downtown Vancouver McDonalds kept a lot of Cnadan kids entertained. Great memories for sure! I used to think of Super Dave as an illusionist ,'cause he had me fooled with his stunts!
Also check out Copperfield’s floating rose effect. Looks like he might have used another Henning trick. Incidentally DC’s floating rose, and Grandpa’s Aces are the best close up tricks he has ever performed.
Doug Henning might be a good magician, but could he rip a phone book apart? 2nd best my ass Mr Barker!
Comment of the year right here 🙌🏻🍻

Sure... Doug is Weird....
But is he Weirder than a Magician that operates out of a Van, and once "Accidentally" kidnapped a child?
Doug Henning is the reason I love magic today. I saw his first televised show as a kid and have been hooked on magic ever since. He was a legend!

He was probably just before Copperfield
And was a huge illusionist. Great chops and great entertainer. Appreciate the walk down memory lane.
Before that first Broadway show, I got to see him at the Ontario Place Forum.
That was magic In The Round . . . on a rotating stage!
I am Canadian, born in 1977 and HAD NO IDEA who Doug Henning was! Thanks for the introduction. What a wonderfully amazing body of work!
I am so blessed. My mum and dad took me to see him in Pittsburgh, Pa when I was a little kid.

The hankie-bottle routine is absolutely fantastic in its simplicity.

Thank you for this video. He was the biggest magician when I was in high school ('70s). Loved him.
Made it cool to play with toys as an adult. Classic. Much respect.
One of the magicians I would watch every single time they were on TV. When I was younger I was gifted with seeing David Copperfield live where I was growing up. One of the best times.
I'm almost 45, and never heard of him.
Thanks Wes :)
I totally remember him, omg, memory flood! 😂🤣😂 Now I feel old. 😩 ☺️
I remember him kind of. I was like 5 or 6 when he was on The Muppet Show, but his look is hard to forget.

I grew up on Doug Henning. his tv show you mentioned happened when I was in high school. way fun.
Thanks for reviewing this guy I had never heard of him before. I’m so glad i know about him now tho
I remember watching the Doug Henning specials when they aired. He was the first magician I saw do metamorphosis and it was amazing. He made magic magical.
For the record, he's not with Kermit... It's his nephew Robin. 🎵 The more you know.... 🎵
For me the greatest magician of all time is WESLEY 😂😂 wish i could see more of his performances
ya that brings up memories i always like the water illusions , hey i thought Shawn was # 2 LOL
5:33 It seems he is standing on some hidden step built into the front wall. The other ones were so weird, and fun!

Henning pretty much retired from magic around 1986, and went full wacko. His devotion to Transcendental Meditation probably contributed to his early death. I remember him most for his run for Prime Minister in 1993 with the Natural Law Party. Part of his platform was to replace our national defences with an army of Yogic fliers, who would float in the air and project a force field around the country. Guy was nuts.
