Doug McKenzie (born June 19, 1980 in Stirling, Scotland) is a magician, magic consultant, and magic television producer based in New York City. His style of magic often merges classical sleight of hand techniques with new technologies. He specializes in both close-up magic and pickpocketing.

Performances

Volunteer Work

In January 2009, McKenzie became the Magic Director for the Conjuring Arts Research Center's Hocus Pocus Project.[6] The project teaches magic to disadvantaged youth and adults. HPP is not magic entertainment, but magic education. The goal of the program is to empower participants by introducing them to fun and accessible magic effects that, with some effort, they will master and be able to share in other settings. As of 2011, the project runs in a Juvenile Detention Center and a number of hospitals (both adult and children) in the New York City area with plans to expand its footprint nationwide.[7]
