Gotta agree with you here. At one point I shared an apartment in Marina del Rey with a couple of other TMers, one of whom was a gifted airbrush artist who did Doug's stage costumes. As a result, Doug would come over to the house every so often, and on a couple of occasions I got to watch him do close-up magic. Forget the big stage stuff; Doug's genius was close- up magic. He would be sitting on the floor cross- legged, two feet away from me, with me free to move around and look at him from any angle I chose, and I *still* couldn't figure out how he did it. Just to watch him do his finger warm-up exercises was amazing. But again, like Hagelin, he made a decision that being around Maharishi and doing whatever was necessary to get Maharishi to focus on him was more important than his career. He seemed happy with the tradeoff, the last time I saw him. So for all we know he might have died a happy man, content with his decision. ------------------------ Yahoo!
