Had a great conversation with WBAL TV ABC2 reporter Ron Snyder just before the recent David Blaine TV special.

LAUREL, Md. - Eric Henning’s fascination with magic dates back more than 40 years when as a youth he accidentally came across a book on famed magician Harry Houdini.

To Henning, Houdini wasn’t just a magician; he was an artist who told a story, inspired people and gave them an emotional boost.

“A great magician transports you to a place where you believe anything is possible,” said Henning, a Laurel resident who has performed in various capacities for four decades and owns Eric Henning’s Old-Fashioned Magic.
