  • This 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 talents of Doug Henning, Anita Morris and Didi Conn at their best.
