It is one thing to know how to do a trick to impress your friends. It is another to know a gospel application for the trick. But my friend, it is a totally different thing to know how to put together an entire show that teaches a spiritual concept. That is perhaps the most difficult part of being a good gospel magician. In these 35 pages you will see and learn how it is done. Baker gives you the perfect example with his complete Prodigal Son routine and script.

The performer shows one at time five cards that are ways some people try to get to heaven – None of the cards show the correct way. Each card is shown and then the performer chooses one by process of elimination. The magician’s card is shown not to be the correct way to heaven. A volunteer is asked to eliminate all but one card. When she does, it is shown to be a picture of Jesus – where did this picture come from?

Jamie Doyle is a Children’s Pastor as well as a featured Speaker for Kids’ Camps, Kids’ Crusades, School Chapels and Outreach Events. These routines are birthed out of those experiences. He typically writes a rough routine to fit his children’s church or a kids’ camp setting, etc and when it goes over well, he jots down more details afterward and drops them in a folder on his computer.

This is what you are about to benefit from in this book.

Since 1980 Rick has been teaching Sunday school and/or Wednesday night service for children. God has blessed him with ideas and a helpmate, Mary his wife to be there for the children. He says it has been a fun wild ride and he thanks God for that. This is his fourth book of 25 routines to share and his desire is for it to help others.

He did not feel the call to be a performer or traveling evangelist but to teach children and help others with ideas. His prayer is that he has pleased God in doing so and His Kingdom is enriched by these ideas.
