Magic stages a comeback
Theatrical magic acts began to lose appeal by the 1930s, and almost 40 years passed before magic again appealed to audiences. In the early 1970s, Doug Henning, a Canadian, burst onto the scene, and magic experienced a revival. Henning departed from the formal attire worn by most magicians and instead wore long hair, jeans and bright T-shirts, which earned him the name " the hippie magician." Henning is best remembered for bringing a sense of wonder back to American audiences with his Broadway production, The Magic Show.

"The beauty of magic"
While Doug Heening broke image barriers in the world of magic, one of today's popular illusionists has successfully broken gender barriers. Jade began performing magic tricks for customers of a San Francisco magic store where she worked when in high school. Then she went on to become the first woman to win the Gold Medal of Magic from the International Brotherhood of Magicians. Jade amazes her audiences by bringing paper butterflies to life and by creating snowstorms. Her fluency in Mandarin, Cantonese and English has allowed Jade to become one of the world's leading international magicians.
Who will be next to conjure up tricks to hold audiences spellbound?
