The best book on the subject of using illusions to explain the Gospel' – Duane Laflin, Past President of the International Fellowship of Christian Magicians.
Douglas Wathen's book 'From Tricks to Truth' is THE classic text on Gospel Magic. A must-read for any evangelist, preacher, teacher, and youth-worker looking to use easy-to-use magic to entertainingly and effectively communicate God's word. '
It's the perfect resource to begin planning, practising and performing exciting magic in the service of the kingdom of God. Every one of the 20 tricks in this book comes with clear instructions and a professional script so that the presentation is not only easy to perform but also that its message might be made clear.
As well as covering magic for evangelism Douglas also teaches you how to incorporate delightful illusions within biblical storytelling and teaching. As Doug observes, 'It is so marvellous to completely capture the imagination of young and old alike, and then focus that fascination onto Christ and the Gospel.'
Chapter one is a primer on gospel magic, where Doug shares his hard won insights into effectively presenting magic that communicates God's word. This single chapter is worth the price of entry alone.
What follows is 20 of Doug's fully scripted gospel magic routines, including:
- 'You are Valuable to God' using a ring to mysteriously escape from a knotted chain.
- 'Jesus Removes Sin' using a disappearing thimble.
- 'Who's in Control?' is a comedic set-piece involving a mysterious dartboard and some invisible darts.
- Doug's signature routine 'The Disobedient Heart'.
- The dazzling 'Watch God Multiply' illusion using a change-bag.
- Memorise Bible verses with the 'Mesmerising Card Prediction'.
The book is filled with professional advice, tips and observations from a hard working gospel magician plus practical strategies to communicate the good news in a range of settings, from simple classrooms to larger gatherings.
Douglas' aim for the book is clear, to 'share practical tips and methods for effective presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ by means of entertainment, laughter, and mystery using the skill of illusion.' And Doug's book delivers on that promise.
