Douglas James Henning (May 3, 1947 – February 7, 2000) was a Canadian magician, illusionist and escape artist who had a profound influence on magic and magicians – like Eric – in the late 20th century.
While they never met, Eric has always admired Doug’s personal, contemporary style of magic, and his good nature.
You have to go back many hundreds of years to when King Cnut (1018-1035) and the Danes ran England before our family trees converge.
