This original document is extremely rare and possibly unique at this time. A 1992 NY Times article mentions the following:

Doug Henning, the magician, and the , a spiritual adviser, want to turn 1,400 acres near Niagara Falls, Ontario, into Maharishi Veda Land, a theme park combining recreation with spiritual enlightenment.

Doug Henning was one of the most famous "Most theme parks are superficial," said Mr. illusionists of the 1970’s and early 1980’s and Henning last week after unveiling the plan for the was responsible for sparking renewed interest in $1.5 billion resort. "The idea of combining a theme magic beginning with his stage show Spellbound, a musical that combined a dramatic story and park with awakening human consciousness has Henning’s magic tricks. Henning brought the show been very well received." to Broadway in 1974, renamed it , and the rest is history. The show ran for four and He said he expected to attract many New Yorkers a half years, and earned Henning a Tony Award to the park. nomination. Mr. Henning is working on the project with the Following this Henning approached NBC with the Maharishi, spiritual adviser to the Beatles during idea of a television special.

During the show Henning recreated Houdini’s water torture illusion. He continued with seven annual magic shows eventually earning seven Emmy Award nominations.

He is remembered as much for his shaggy-hair, sequined covered costumes, rainbow tee-shirts and satin bellbottoms as he is for the illusions he presented. He returned to Broadway twice, once in the 1983 musical ‘’Merlin,’’ and in a 1984 solo show, ‘’Doug Henning and His World of Magic.’’

Henning died of liver cancer at the age of 52 in February 2000. He is survived by his wife and former assistant, Debby. Now Haversat & Ewing have obtained from the Henning family, costumes used by him on stage and during his TV broadcasts. ~81~

44 • November 2014 - Haversat & Ewing Galleries The Worthington Collection

Thomas Chew Worthington III – This well known magician and magic collector was born February 13, 1887 and was one of the founders of the Demons Club and Society of Osiris Magicians in Baltimore. His interest was sparked by seeing, and then later meeting, Alexander Herrmann. However, it was Howard Thurston with whom he became obsessed. He and the Thurston family became very close friends and many rare and unusual items from the magician ended up in his collection.

Worthington had one of the largest and most valuable collections of rare magical apparatus in the world, which he eventually gave to the Ringling Brothers' Museum in Sarasota, Florida just prior to his death. That collection was poorly handled and later disposed of and rescued by magic collector Charlie Kalish, who in turn sold it to Ken Klosterman and the late David Price of the Egyptian Hall Museum. Worthington wrote a column for The Sphinx and was also the editor of Society of Osiris Magicians' magazine Tablets of Osiris. He died January 2, 1953 at the age of 70.

Not all of his collection ended up at the Ringling Museum however, and Haversat & Ewing have obtained one-of-a-kind effects from Worthington’s magic show. A rare opportunity to own a personal piece of equipment from one of magic's most important curators of all time.
