If you aren't following Neil McNally's blog, The Doug Henning Project, I encourage you to do so. He regularly updates on fascinating nuggets from Doug's life.
On March 8th, he published some images from Richard Sherry from the Society of Canadian Magicians publication “Levitator” May/June 1974 “Magic Show” Article.
A nice trip down memory lane!

Former President of the long defunct Society of Canadian Magicians, Larry encouraged this site by sharing his rare video tape of the CBC TV "Telescope" tribute to Johnny; as well as allowing me to unearth back issues boxed up in his basement of the SCM's "Levitator" with key articles about Johnny. Our condolences to his family.

The Society of Canadian Magicians
Back in the Spring of 2011, I posted about a Facebook page David Donoghue had set up for remembering the Society of Canadian Magicians (SCM). However, that page no longer appears functional.
Does anyone know what happened to it?
Ariel Frailich recently posted about the convention. It would be nice if the memories could all be collected in one place.

Remembering the Society of Canadian Magicians
Do you remember the Society of Canadian Magicians (SCM)? If so, go on over the the Facebook page David Donoghue has set up for remembering the SCM. There is a dearth of information on the internet about the SCM. MagicPedia has only two lines on the organization.
Help document the history of the organization by contributing to the discussions or adding to the collection of online photos.
