Welcome to my site.  Take a look around and check out my programs.  If you're looking for a professional magic show for church, banquets, restaurants, business, school, Upward award ceremonies, retreats, office recognition gatherings, children's church, civic clubs, VBS, etc.  or strolling magic for festivals and fairs anywhere in the United States, you have arrived.  If you need clean stand up comedy for any event, then Professor Cornpone and Brother Ritechus N. Dignation are available with original humor, song parodies, voice impressions and funny commercials.  Check out the video below.

Check out two new tricks. What's in a Name is a trick that was primarily developed by a friend of mine, then I took it and reworked it.  Pick a Politician was developed exclusively by me. What's in a Name is a unique Gospel magic trick where the spectator picks a name from 100 Bible names. You then "read" their mind and reveal the name chosen. Pick a Politician works the same but with the names of politicians. Other than one magic store in the  United States, I am the only person from which you can obtain these original versions. Email me at houdini59@att.net

I have been performing magic shows since 1995, averaging over 60 programs each year, having performed over 1200 programs to date (2013) in nine different states. 85% of my programs are for ministry, but I do accept a few bookings for birthday parties, libraries, restaurants, schools, civic organizations, nursing homes, etc.  The ministry program teaches Bible principles and Scripture throughout the program, emphasizing the difference between ministry/performance magic and occultic, New Age magic.  I have presented my reading motivation magic show in over 40 libraries across the state of Mississippi.  In schools, I present a tobacco education program which also includes warnings against alcohol and drugs, with an emphasis on the positive virtues of good character, honesty and integrity.
