Douglas Geoffrey Mackintosh (May 29, 1907 - January 14, 1990) was an associate of Hardeen. Hardeen passed on many of his items to Geoffrey who was an illusionist and performed under the name Douglas Geoffrey and after Hardeen passed away, as "Hardeen, Jr".
He met Hardeen, brother of Houdini, in 1932, in Atlantic City, and worked for Hardeen as his assistant. At Hardeen's last show in Ridgewood, Queens, New Yok, on May 29, 1945, Hardeen announced "Doug" as his successor.
He trouped as Hardeen, Jr. for almost two years in "'Hellz-a-Poppin," playing the part of the magician, which Theo Hardeen originated and played in New York for almost five years.
With Bob Sherman, he staged a show entitled, "Houdini Lives again".
