NEWS DOUG HENNING SUPPORT THIS FILM Doug Henning is a legend. He was the first modern superstar magician since Houdini. Over a brief thirteen years, he dusted off a centuries-old art form, modernized it and made magic fun again for the modern television age. With- out a doubt, in magic history, all roads lead back to Doug. Having passed away on the cusp of the internet age in 2000, his massive contributions to the art of magic have never been fully acknowledged. “Doug Henning’s Magical World” intends to right this wrong. As much as we would love to waive our own magic wand to make this film instantly appear, we have to go through more real life means to see it through to its comple- tion. That's where you the fans come in! It is your tax-deductible donations that will allow us to travel to Canada and New York for more interviews with Doug's family, collaborators, and friends. In addition, the rights to the bulk of Doug's television work are spread out over many television networks, individuals, and companies. These programs, especially the "World of Magic" specials, are expensive. Due to this, a sizable portion of our budget needs to be devoted to obtaining these supremely important clips that will bring Doug's work back to life in the way it properly deserves. MAGIC FOR HUMANS Justin Willman has been on a media blitz lately to promote Magic For Humans. It's one the very best television magic shows I've seen in a very long time. https://youtu.be/pvFqi-YFWe8 If that weren't enough, extensive post-production will be needed when shooting is complete. This will involve, not only editing the film itself but preserving and re- mastering Doug's last interview conducted in 1999. The never before seen interview currently exists on 8mm video and antiquated mini-audio cassettes. The value of this interview is without question, and it's preservation is essential. Please consider donating to this important project so we can help see Doug Hen- ning's legacy preserved.
