I'm staying on the topic of the magic trick, "Metamorphosis" for one more day. A couple of folks who wrote me think that I was unaware that many others had done this illusion before the Pendragons. I never thought that and I don't think I could have made that clearer than when I described it as — and I quote myself — "a classic illusion but one that they perform better than anyone."
Others pointed out that when Doug Henning did the trick, he also did a costume change. Okay, fine. Others have, as well. But look at what Henning's wearing before and after and then look at what Charlotte Pendragon does. He could have easily been wearing one outfit over the other and just discarded the outer one. She deliberately wears outfits that couldn't have worked like that.
Which is not to take anything away from the late Mr. Henning. Here's his version of the same trick, as performed on some special with actress Didi Conn. One should note that since Ms. Conn was a transient partner, she and Henning probably practiced 'n' rehearsed for a week or two, whereas Jonathan and Charlotte Pendragon have been perfecting their timing for a decade or two. Given that, Henning's version is pretty good.
