From an appearance back in the early 90s on the Joan Rivers show, Doug Henning presents the Origami illusion. This could be the very first televised performance of the Origami illusion by a magician! At that time, Doug was generally the first to be offered new illusion ideas by illusion designer Jim Steinmeyer, who worked closely with Henning until his retirement from magic and show business.

This 1981 filmed version of the highly successful Broadway play The Magic Show brings magical illusions as well as engaging music to the story of a talented young magician Doug (Doug Henning) using his magic for "good" over the villainous "evil" magic performed by the dastardly Van Zyskind. The music and magic presented here highlight a dazzling display of wizardry by Doug Henning, who triumphs in the end to the delight of all. This is the only version of one of Broadway's most beloved and longest-running musicals and captures the legendary talent of Doug Henning.

Anita Morris sings and dance during a wonderful performance of the sawing in half illusion. Sorry for the poor quality, but I just couldn´t resist. Two really wonderful performers that will be missed by so many fans...
