It was 48 years ago today, that the press began to appear about a little show on NBC, called The Wold of Magic, starring newcomer Doug Henning. Local TV Guides all over the country had articles about the upcoming special, many with behind the scenes photos. And from what I've seen, some of them with information which was incorrect. Specifically, some of them had Orson Welles listed as one of the Special Guest Stars, but he would be replaced late in the game with actor/dancer Gene Kelly.
The NBC Special would be broadcast LIVE on the evening of Dec 26th, 1975, and the magic world would never be the same again.
I will go more into the special in a few days, but for now, enjoy the special commemorative poster that was created for the Special.
