HENNING JOINS WALK OF FAME TOMORROW

As I first reported in June, Doug Henning is being inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame this year. David Ben recently updated the story on his blog.  Doug’s star will be unveiled tomorrow, Saturday, October 16th and the broadcast of the ceremonies and celebration will take place on October 20th on CTV.

David Ben writes:

Doug Henning changed my life.  It was while watching his first network television special, broadcast live-live, meaning in real time and not on a tape delay, that I said to myself: “I want to become a magician.”  The year was 1975 and I was fourteen years old.  

Now, some thirty-five years later, I have had the chance to repay Doug the favour.  Doug Henning will receive his “star” this weekend on the Canadian Walk of Fame and I have been working behind the scenes for the past several months on the tribute to Doug that will be broadcast to the nation.
