About

"Not only a master magician...a master entertainer."
- Centennial Lodge

People often tell Eric that he reminds them of the great magicians of the past.

That's no coincidence, since he has spent more than three decades studying and performing some of the greatest magic in history. While still a student, Eric's love of magic's lore took him to the Maryland Renaissance Festival. More recently, the National Theatre featured his "Turn of the Century" - a Victorian-style show with wonders not seen for a hundred years.

His award-winning blend of wit and wizardry has been seen around the world, from the streets of Paris to the White House, where he has performed for President Obama and the First Family. Add in three Presidential Inaugurals and five other White House appearances, and you have a truly Presidential prestidigitator!

Eric Henning is also an accomplished speaker, having reached the quarterfinals of the World Championship of Public Speaking. He has even been overseas to speak on behalf of the U.S. government!

Some of the groups tapping into Eric's eclectic and arcane knowledge include Northrop Grumman, MedStar Health, The World Bank, The Wonka Candy Company and certain defense-related agencies whose very mention could get him killed.
