- How did you do that?
- Christian magic? Doesn't the Bible
condemn magic?
- Were are you
located and how far do you travel?
- What facilities are needed for a
performance? Do you need a "real" stage?
- How much will a performance cost?
Magicians don't generally share their
secrets, but we'll make an
exception in this case.
Brad's feats are accomplished through psychology, misdirection, physics,
chemistry, and a whole lot of practice.

No, the Bible doesn't condemn theatrical magic.
The confusion over this is primarily a problem of semantics. English
is a very imprecise language. The same word can have multiple meanings
that are completely unrelated. For example, "bank" can refer to either a
place to keep money, or the side of a river. You have to look at the
context of how the word is used to determine which definition is
intended.
The same is true of the word "magic". One definition of the word
involves attempts to forecast or control events through the use of
supposed supernatural powers. This is clearly condemned by scripture.
Another definition is the art of using natural causes, whose
operation is secret, to produce surprising results.
When looking at the Bible, it is usually easy to tell from the
context what "magic" practices are being condemned. When there is any
doubt, we can refer to the original Greek or Hebrew words. Those
languages are much more precise than English, and make it clear what
practices it is talking about. Nowhere does the Bible condemn theatrical
magic, like what Brad does.

Brad is based out of Northern Kentucky. He has programs specifically designed to be transported as airline
baggage, so he can go anywhere. He has literally performed from coast
to coast (and beyond).

Typical magic programs are often very demanding . They require
the right staging, lighting, and background. Not so with Brad's
programs. You don't have to jump through a lot of hoops to revolve
around Brad's needs. Instead, Brad goes out of his way to provide
programs that revolve around your needs.
Brad designed his programs to be easy for the event
planner to host. The programs typically have only
two basic requirements to help make your event a
success.
- People must be able to see.
There must be sufficient lighting. A raised platform
is extremely helpful. It can be difficult for people
at extreme viewing angles to se clearly, so it works
best when the audience is viewing only from the
front.
- People must be able to hear.
Typically, this means a sound system is required. A
hands-free lapel or headset microphone is ideal, but
a mike on a stand is sufficient. If the
program uses music, Brad will supply the player and
the patch cords required to hook it up to most any
sound system. You don't even have to cue the
music. Brad uses a remote to control the music from
stage.
That's it. If even providing that much is a
problem, talk to us. Brad has a lot of experience
in finding creative ways to work in less-than-ideal
situations.

The cost depends on a number of factors, including the type and
number of programs and the distance to the event.
