In the past I have seen a trick that has 4 pictures of different colored bibles and one is red to symbolize the bible must be read. Where is this still available and if not what was the basic idea of the routine as to how to choose the right one?

One of the Laflin books, I believe it's "Gospel Illusions You Can Make", contains one like that. There are 7 different colors with the red Bible forced. I bought the book as a download and believe it's well worth the price.

MagicBus would know. I think I saw it on one of those video's he produces. Sorry I can't remember the name.

Thanks guys.

Yes, this and 21 more effects are in an E-Book titled "Amaging Gospel Illusions You Can Make"

I love that trick- it is Duane Laflin's "What Color Is Your Bible?" which he no longer makes. Came on large, thick, laminated card stock. Still one of my favorites. It can be viewed at http://www.christianmagician.org on the Now That's Magic! show #8 at the 12:45 mark in the program.

Roger thanks. That is not how I pictured it was done. I came up with my own for Sunday school and I will be using it after Christmas. I use 7 cards and force the red one and use 7 children to hold them. My lesson is what color bible is the best. I go through each one with the children and reject all the colors because they don't tell the whole gospel. The orange bible talks about fruit, fruit of the spirit, the yellow bible tells about people being yellow and I talk about the stories where people were in fear, the blue bible is about stories about people feeling sad and blue and at the end I finish with the predicted bible, the red one. The red bible is one that tells the whole story because when you read it, you hear the whole story and that bible turns from red to read and it is a goal for all the children to read the whole bible. That is my basic way I will present it.

Rick, I love your routine. May I borrow from it? I will be doing a short program next Monday and I was planning on using the Red (read) Bible.

Mike

Nice idea for sure!

Mike, be my guest, use it. I have seven colors. Each color represents events and or people in the bible. Blue-sad times, Orange-fruit of the spirit, Yellow- when people were afraid, Green- envy, when people wanted other peoples stuff or wive White- forgiveness, make sin whiter than snow, Black - being without God-(Jesus asking the Father where he was on the cross) And finally the best is Red. This is just an outline, you can fill in the stories you want. I will be finishing it up and using it at the end of the month. The force of the card is simple. It is given to the third child from the left and they hold the cards facing them so no one can see them. Someone from the audience picks a number for 1 to 7 and you count to the third card, mark it with a clip and do the routine. Just in case you don't know the force, email me and I will send it to you.

Thanks Rick.
That would be the same force used in Key To The Kingdom. I have never used it but I'm familiar with it.
