People often tell Eric that he reminds them of the great magicians of the past.
That's no coincidence, since he has spent most of 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.
Eric Henning is also an accomplished speaker, having reached the quarterfinals of the World Championship of Public Speaking. In a previous career in finance, he spent 17 years on the air with his own radio shows. Eric has even gone overseas to speak on behalf of the US government!
His award-winning blend of wit and wizardry has been seen around the world, from the streets of Paris to the Kennedy Center and two Presidential Inaugurals. 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.
