DOUG CONN


@17 yrs ago i met doug i was working at magic masters and after work a bunch of us magicians were meeting up and we ended up at his house. i didn't know him and when i first saw him i thought he was quiet and unsure of himself even clumsy.we were all sitting in his living room and he was in another room and i really thought that i was amazing at that time.

he came in to our room and asked if some one could help him with a trick everyone urged me and my ego got the best of me.

i went into the kitchen with him to "help" and he began....he was showing me a trick w/ a coin and a scarf and asking advice after the end of 5 mins. i realized i didn't have a clue what he was doing 2 mins. later i realized he knew this too and was doing these amazing things to me on purpose,i confronted him but he claimed innocence to the end as we walked back into the living room together the other magi were waiting and laughed at my confused face.....i said "he's good huh" and they responded "yeh thats doug conn"

i knew then they had all taken that little walk with him.


it was at that moment i knew i wanted him to teach me magic because i obviously didn't know it yet.

doug is not only the most analitical,diabolical,and devious magician i have ever met he's also the most giving and kind hearted genius.

he is my teacher.

Doug Conn is without hesitation one of the smoothest performers I have witnessed live. His execution of the magical effects he does are brilliant and up-beat.

PS If you ever hear Doug is performing near you GO - WATCH and LEARN!
