Close Encounters with Magic — 1979 live show at John Wesley Methodist Church in Norcross, GA. This video contains 25 minutes of the 45 minute show. You will see David and assistant Diana perform musical magic with canes, candles, silks, the Jewel Can, a live rabbit and more. Somehow two routines are missing.
Special feature: David and Diana perform Abbott’s Caliph’s Cutter, a rare magical illusion hardly ever seen by magicians or the public. Future assistant Debra Horton at age 12 helps David perform Disecto, and the act closed with the Metamorphosis Substitution Trunk, taught to David by Doug Henning himself. $8.00
IMPORTANT NOTE: We have tested this video download, and it should work properly on Apple products and computers running Windows 10. If you are using Windows 11, you may find the video plays but there is no audio. In this case, you would download the HEVC Video Extensions from Microsoft, or get the free download of VLC Media Player, which works great for all types of media.
