Hi All: You may have already seen this at Hobby Lobby. "Playside Creations" sells a number of very neat VBS and camp crafts including a "16 Count Giant Memory Game", SKU 3456092 or HL9124250 available at Hobby Lobby or at www.Mardel.com (and many other web sites as well). The list price is only $4.99 to begin with, but I got my set 30% off at Hobby Lobby with their coupon/last week's sale price on all Playside Creation products. The Mardel site sells them for only $3.49 on sale.
This "Giant Memory Game" is made up of sixteen 12 inch by 12 inch THICK sturdy cardboard cards with various easy to see Christian symbols on them (and there are 8 different ones, two of each symbol/design). The symbols/words include that of "faith", a sunshine symbol, the Christian fish symbol, a lamb, a lion, a cross, a heart with "love" written on it, and a card with the word "God" on it. It looks like a good visual for kids- they designed it for use as a simple "memory" game. If these cards could be used in a Gospel routine, matching card routine, prediction trick etc.- you'd have a well produced easy to see "packs big plays small" illustration at an incredibly low price. Check them out at your local Hobby Lobby (they are in the craft section where Sunday School kids crafts are- they carry a large number of items produced by "Playside Creations")- and maybe someone on The Magic Café' can come up with a neat Gospel magic routine for kids on how to use this large inexpensive visual set 8 matching vary large stage size cards (16 total)... I'll let you know if I think of anything... |

By the way, I purchased a very inexpensive silk in the Coke bottle from Ash's Magic in Chicago Saturday. Was a good illustration on how The Holy Spirit is not a "thing" or like a silk flying around, but is a Person who lives in our heart (and went through the verses on the purposes of The Holy Spirit including 2 Corinthians 1:22. I also got from Ash's a $7.00 antique spikes through balloon- going to use that for a "whole armor of God" illustration (Ephesians 6). Another inexpensive trick picked up was the "multiplying liquid" (knock off of Multum in Parvo Plus routine)- anybody know a routine for that off hand? That is where the milk or liquid goes from filling a small glass to filling a larger glass to filling even a larger glass, etc..

Check out this Café link for an effect that you can use these cards for (although the effect I am pointing you to has nothing to do with the subject line "Gilbreath Principle"):
http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......forum=37 You need to read Larry Becker's posts and John Clarkson's correction to Larry's post. Duane Laflin markets an effect based on the effect that Larry talks about (Howard Adams' "The Ramasee Prophecy"). Here's the link to Duane's effect: http://www.laflinmagicstore.com/product-p/mespt.htm Terry

Thanks Terry- you are right on! I did find in Duane Laflin's 1994 lecture notes "Astonishing Gospel Magic" - which can be downloaded for $5.98 from www.LaflinMagicStore.com- that Chapter 4 "Agree With God's Word" (page 22) thoroughly describes how to use pairs of cards for a great Gospel routine! Really excellent presentation. One can simply write with a thick marker on these cards themselves what Duane has suggested or you can modify (what I am planning to do) slightly Duane's words to more closely match the pictures on large cards I purchased at Hobby Lobby (see initial post above). Will work perfect! Packs small, plays very big. So this entire routine with the needed prop cards can be purchased from Laflin and Hobby Lobby for under $11.00 complete (even if not on sale). Nice

Just a followup to the above. If you buy the giant memory cards (#105000000) at Hobby Lobby, show them your 40% off coupon on your cell phone from www.HobbyLobby.com The cards then are only $2.99 + sales tax. What a deal!

Try to to connect with Larry Mahan to get Jim Scott's digital book/CDROM on the Card Match.
A great investment! Head here: https://squareup.com/store/SONshineEnt/ Down at the bottom under "Videos" you'll find "The Card Match Guide" it's actually a CDROM. |
