Doug Henning - Metamorphosis

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.

[irican01]

I agree, Doug had this one down to a science. I never saw anyone do it faster.

[katiefoshee]

@irican01 Have you seen Terry Evanswood's? I think it might be faster. (: This one is very good though (:

[irican01]

@katiefoshee I have not seen it, but I will look it up.

@irican01 actually criss angel holds the world record for fastest metemorphosis whith no shetts or coverings

[irican01]

@magicmatt8200 doesn't change the fact that he is a total douchebag.

I think what made Henning so amazing, was due, in part, to his childlike sense of wonder. The magic was as suprising and fun for him as it was for the audience. Bless this man... He has always been one of my favorites! A true artist and he is very missed! Rest well, Doug!

[Slymagic]

Criss Angel is nothing! they use camera tricks! he is a no talent magician! Blaine, Angel and other wannabes are not here to grace us with these kind of entertainment! Doug henning, a true master, thank you! We will never forget!

@irican01 agreed

[SuperMagicone]

You are so right about Henning, he was the best!! Blaine and Angel really suck as they dress weird and do not know how to act! They are so phony and always have their people help them to do their so-called magic. They give Magic a bad name and so does the Trashy Masked magician wannabe!

I remember this one watching it live, I was a professional magician at the time and found it very impressing. Henning is missed RIP

I love how he even changes his clothes in a matter of seconds in the process.

Genius. ;D

[yeshevishman]

The amazing thing is he always uses children as volunteers.
