Doug Hunt: Inspirational Canadian Magician

Fourth in this year's Inspirational Canadian Magician Showcase, is Doug Hunt!

Doug Hunt: Inspirational Canadian Magician

Doug Hunt: Inspirational Canadian Magician.
 
 

 

Doug had two people submit his name!


In spite of the personal and professional challenges Doug Hunt has endured through the nearly 40 years I have had the privilege of calling him my friend, I have never seen him without a desire to give back from his heart. He will tell you that he may not be the most talented magician you know, but I'm here to tell you that he is the most HUMAN magician you will ever meet.

Submitted by Peter Mennie



At age 67, Doug Hunt walked 16 steps at 55 ft high in the air, breaking a Guinness World Record. While most might break a record for their own ego; Doug does these amazing stunts to put a spotlight on his local community and raising awareness for local charities. Doug shows how we as entertainers can take our gift and make an incredible impact.
