Ok let's pretend that something has happened and you lost all you magic tricks and you could only buy one magic trick to present the gospel with, which trick would you buy and why?
For me I would buy the feather plume set from Laflin Magic "Jesus and the Thieves" I use this trick in all my gospel shows. It really shows how that Jesus died on the cross and because He gave Himself for my sins my life can be changed as well. Ok let's keep this going what trick would purchase and why. Everyone chime in here with you favorite trick to present the gospel. |

Funny thing is...and it's not that funny, I DID lose all my magic and belongings in a house foreclosure! Long story. So, if it happened again...well, I like the Dye Tube and black & white silks. You can see the possibilities...

I will go with nest of boxes, using Duane Laflins routine in Greater Gospel Magic. When we ask Jesus into our lives we are blessed more.

Mine would be the John de Vries version of "Blok Cord", or the sold block off of the rope trick, which has been released many times and published in many beginners magic books under various titles. John (former FCM President) published his routine in "The Christian Conjurer" probably in the early 1970ties- I did see it printed in a back issue there on http://www.fcm.org in the library section for FCM members. It is a trick that cannot be broken and I use it to share my testimony. I worked for John in 1971, he gave me one of his original wooden prototype versions where the letters S-I-N and the O were carved right into the wood block.

Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
His disciples came unto Him: And He opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that do mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and shall persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.

Thanks to Larry Wirth who PMed me with this information: the "Blockhead" routine by Former FCM President John de Vries appeared in the January/February 1972 issue of The Christian Conjurer, pages 24-25. That is my favorite Gospel magic trick as I am the "Blockhead"/fits in with my personal testimony.

Postscript: "Blockhead" by John J. deVries was also published in 1962 in "The Christian Conjurer", and then again in Volume 19, Issue 1, January-February 1975 issue of "The Christian Conjurer". This 1975 issue had special salute to John deVries on pages 15-37 after his untimely death. John died December 3, 1974, at the age of 69, of a heart attack while preparing to travel to do a school show in Holland. My guess is this may be the longest written tribute in The Christian Conjurer to an FCM President or member in it's history. As I traveled with John in 1971, I can tell you he was "the real McCoy"- he lived his faith through and through- he was consistently consumed with pursuing his Christian walk in both his private life and public Christian ministry. He inspired and challenged me to be an authentic sold out to Christ believer instead of just attempting to be a "Gospel magician."

Cut and restored rope. Simple gospel message married to a clear strong effect.

"Ledger of Life" - Becuase it has several different examples on the pages you can always skim through it for a general effect (a strong one at that) or you can use the various examples as a spring board into other effects or just "find a truth and camp on it" so to speak and really expound on one of them if doing in context of a teaching time or sermon.
It really is a great tool. If you do not have one yet...what are you waiting for?!? |

I agree with Gary- the "Ledger of Life" is terrific. I taught it to my Pastor (Mark Swank) in about 60 seconds, he did it at the very end of "Magic With A Message" #2 "On The Logos Hope" one hour special at http://www.ChristianMagician.org

FAB Magic in Colon is now selling a version of the wooden cube off the robe effect- see FAB's ad in the latest Linking Ring magazine. I've decided to film mine again on October 21, should have it posted to http://www.ChristianMagician.org next month some time. Love that trick.

Cut and restored rope is my favorite. I can carry a piece of rope in my pocket and cut it with my pocket knife if I don't have sissors.

1st Cor. 10:13 any kind of escape effect - works good and is true - I've gotten three people up and tied one with 12ft of rope the other two held rope and pulled wwhen I said "escape" the one that was tied up in SIN escaped-- the rope effect is the one where you tie two ropes to a wand ( devils fork??) or with a thread in the middle - hope you understand - its very memorible- that verse also - was my DESICION Verse.
