    From my personal collection.  About 40 years  old.
    I hope  it can go to a new home and be passed on for the next generation!
    ONE OF  A  KIND! 8 x 10 exclusive   Doug Henning  Photo  Autographed / signed, in person
    I was a  magician  from ages  13-20. I had the quite the little  traveling  show  with  4  trunks  of  magic!
    I performed  locally  around  Flint Michigan.  This was the  70's.
    I took up photography  in high school.  Doug Henning was my  idol!
    My father took me to see him  in nearby Lansing, MI.  (1978  I think) .No camera's were allowed.
    But I snuck  one in  and was able to get  right up next to stage, during this levitation, and snapped  a  couple pics, without a flash,  and ran back to my seat!
    ( got up a couple times  during  show as well - Doug  saw me and looked  right at the camera and smiled  once! I think since I was not using a flash  or  causing a disturbance,  no one said anything  to me)
    THIS  ONE   was perfect!  It won a couple small awards  over the years.
    8 x 10 mounted  with  blue  board.
    A couple years  later,  I was able to meet  Doug  backstage  at a show in Detroit.
    I had made him a copy of the photo  and  he absolutely  loved  it.
    He was  amazed I had gotten away  with it - and he was amazed at the look I  captured.
    I had matted  my copy of the photo  and  he signed it for me  that night.
    He then gave me permission  to shoot some more photos  at another show.
    I have held onto this for  40  some years. I don't want to die and have people throwing all of my fantastic stuff in the trash.  I think  it needs  to go to a new  home  where it can be appreciated  for another  40 years!
