Doug Henning was the first magician I ever saw. I was 4 and he and Bill Cosby were running around on television having a great time and defying all logic. Doug made magic fun, mysterious and exciting and he sent the magic bug to bite me. For that I will always be in his debt. We will all miss you Doug. Thanks for making the world a little bit brighter for us all.
