My friend and fellow magician, Toby Travis, is offering a free download of his book, "Searching The Supernatural", for a limited time. Go to: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/47682174/TravisSTSbook.pdf to download. I wrote the following endorsement for the book a few years ago:
"It is my belief that the Christian community has for far too long given Satan more power and credit than he deserves. Toby has done all of us a favor by providing a well-balanced presentation that neither sensationalizes nor minimizes the true power of the evil one whose work the Son of God came to destroy." - Terry Holley, Pastor & Author, Heartland Community Church, Medina, OH

Terry this is an interesting read, strangely to read Chapter 3 of this book makes me feel like a performing magician or mentalist of today is much more aligned with the sorcerers & witchcraft of the bible. I would be interested in hearing the thoughts of yourself and others concerning this writing. Thanks for the heads up on this.

What Toby is saying here is that claiming supernatural powers is condemned by God. I would not align a magician or mentalist who is simply entertaining and not claiming supernatural powers with the "sorcerers" in the Bible who were claiming powers. But I would align a present day performer who is claiming that he/she does have these powers, with the sorcerers, etc. in the Scripture. Although I make a disclaimer in my mentalism shows, I don't think it is a necessity (ala Richard Osterlind). But, if you claim powers as we see some in the Scripture claiming, and are helping others get involved in these practices, I do believe that you should be classified right alongside them. An axample of this for me is "psychic" John Edwards, whom Toby mentions. Hope this helps clarify my thinking. My book explains it best. Terry
