I really want to keep this blog focused on Gospel magic and other creative means of spreading the good news of Jesus Christ, but especially in the realm of magic (maybe not the best choice of words), we have to start somewhere to get the vehicle for our message; so it makes sense sometimes to start with a secular trick, and apply our message to it. I was listening to Go Magic Go podcast (which is done by Andrew Payne and Keith Barber... it's great by the way, I highly recommend listening to it.) and heard the guys talking about a trick on the GMG forum called "The Russian Roulette Firing Squad of Death".

In my last blog I mentioned only one performer by name; Tennyson's partner on the stage that night, and the other half of Maze Magic, is Jim Munroe. It was not my intent to slight Jim at all, the show I saw had two strong performers, and I am humbled that he took notice of my blog and left a comment. God Bless you Jim, and I pray that the Lord shows you very clearly what His perfect will is for Maze Magic. You've certainly got an anxious fan here. Next, I want to let you know about another Gospel Magic blog, namely Gospelmagic4u. It's written by Andrew David aka revq8, and he's much better at doing this than I am, so I highly recommend that you read his blog. http://gospelmagic4u.blogspot.com ...
