The impression could be taken as mocking Henning but when Chris praises Henning I believe him.

My friends and I (13-yr old aspiring magicians) snuck backstage after Henning's show in Houston around 1975. The stage manager kept telling us that Henning had left, but we kept pestering him. Henning heard all of this and came out to talk with us and give us his autograph. He seemed like a genuinely nice guy. As a side note, David Copperfield was doing close up magic on one side of the theater before the show. He was not famous yet.

I loved Doug Henning

@harrycrowe7873 Жыл бұрын

I met Doug Henning and his wife Debbie backstage. My sister was a well known psychic at the time and Doug was very interested in the metaphysical. He invited her and I as his guests to see 'Merlin on Broadway. He and his wife were such nice and humble people.

I'm willing to believe that Criss thought he was paying homage with this act, but the problem is seeing him attempt to take on a Henning-esque persona is... cringe-worthy. Perhaps because there's such a huge contrast between the image that Doug Henning puts forward and the one Criss does? That conversation at the end, though, is the part that really bothers me, though, and I have absolutely no idea why...

Doug wrote the youth column in Canadian magician Micky Hades newsletter printed here in Calgary, Alberta when I was a kid. I learned lot from his column, and the handfull of times I got to meet him. I was also initiated into TM when I was 6 by Maraishi Maheshat Lake Louise something Doug was passionate about.

If he wanted a tribute to Doug Henning, Why not play some actual Henning footage. This seemed more disrespectful and sarcastic.

Doug Henning was a true great magician, followed by people all over the world. Criss Angel is just a trend, somebody that the world will forget as Milly Vanilly or Ace of Base. It´s a shame that he did this episode because nobody laught and nobody got amazed. Poor guy, being famous for 5 minutes made him become insane, shame for the magic scene.

in my opinion, i don't care if it's real or not. i think his show is very entertaining. everyone has their own opinion, like saying his tricks are fake and some say they're real. just enjoy the damn show and stop bitching by saying "oh, he's gay." or "IT'S FAKE." all of you who are saying that kind of stuff are just people who are wasting their time. by the way, i don't care what you people say about this comment cause it's my own opinion and everyone has their own opinion.

@JeffMc2006 13 жыл бұрын

I'm a 30+ year professional performer. I respect that Criss has done so well. Saying magic is "fake" is simply stupid. It's entertainment. It's all "fake." Magic is emotion. Movies, animation, dance, etc. are all "fake" in the sense that it isn't "real life." Having said that, my wife and I saw Criss in Vegas this past Oct. It was the worst, most disrespectful show I've ever had the displeasure of seeing. Criss was aweful, and the show was amateurish at best. Cirque wasted $ on this.
