I love how everyone is an "expert" on Doug Henning and his illusions. LOL - Want to know some facts about Doug Henning and his unique brand of magic?
I suggest reading "Spellbound - The Wonder-Filled Life Of Doug Henning", written by John Harrison (a friend of mine). He did a GREAT JOB detailing Doug's life. It also has some GREAT TRUE STORIES about the "behind-the-scenes" magic as well! Do a search, you'll be glad you did. - Makes a great gift, too!
The Million Dollar Mystery is how the tiger was produced, but the idea on producing three bumps under the cloth comes from Servias Leroy called the Three Graces. He used a tall cabinet with a pole in the center. A far cry from the large rainbow box Doug used.
Doug was good at using classics from the past and putting his own spin on it. I too saw this live and it was spectacular.
Actually everyone is wrong and correct on who invented this. Thurston didn't invent the Million Dollar Mystery. It was designed for him by his staff based on a P.T. Selbit idea. Thurston, just like every magician like Doug and Copperfield, used an illusion team to come up with and build all of the tricks for the upcoming season.
Actually this Illusion was invented my Howard Thurston... MANY years before Doug Henning, It was originally called Thurston's Million Dollar Mystery... :-)
Did you know Doug Henning INVENTED THIS ILLUSION! Never published it in print, so almost everyone else who does it, D.C, Sigfried&ROY ect... is coying Henning!
Damn!Y is it that all the GOOD PEOPLE die young.I have no doubt Doug is in a MUCH better place,but call me selfish,i just wish the world(okay ME)could of seen a little more of him.
Mr. Henning,you were...ARE the best magician HANDS-DOWN!Loved your joy and childlike spirit.
Classic Doug Henning presenting his version of the Million Dollar Mystery, "Things That Go Bumop in the Night". He certainly changed the face of magic.
