He is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians, Circus Fans of America, Clowns of America, International Brotherhood of magicians. He has used his talents to teach others at conferences his unique, always funny, magical clown presentations. God has taken him to other parts of the world to spread the good news. Always funny, always loving and telling others about Jesus. He has forgotten more about magic, clowning and stories than most of us learn in a lifetime. On April 12, 1997 he was awarded a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records designating him the “World’s Fastest Magician” after performing 308 separate magic tricks in 1 minute and 32 seconds.
Paul has more books on our site than any other author and keeps pumping them out year after year. You and I can only wish we knew half as much as this man.
