Welcome to my site. Take a look around and check out my programs. If you're looking for a professional program with a message for church events, banquets, restaurants, business, school, Upward award ceremonies, retreats, office recognition gatherings, civic clubs, VBS, etc. or strolling magic for festivals and fairs anywhere in the United States, you have arrived. Each program is age appropriate, always with wholesome content and interactive for each group. Concerning churches, this program is for events and gatherings other than worship services and does not replace the preaching of the Word from the pulpit. I am available for preaching services that may take place in conjunction with church events for which I am booked to present these programs listed on this page.

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.

Senior Adult Program

I have been performing magic shows since 1995, at one time averaging over 60 programs each year, having performed over 1900 programs to date (2024) in ten 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.

The average length of each program is from 45 to 60 minutes.
