Gospel Magic Zone

It's no trick teaching kids! But having a trick up your sleeve sure helps!

This zone contains Gospel Magic Tricks, which we like to call "object lessons with a surprise ending!" Obviously, the only 'magic' here are optical illusions! Magic tricks excite and interest kids because it engages their minds and creativity. Have no fear - kids never attribute any 'power' to a magician, they always assume it's 'up their sleeve' or something. It is only smart adults who don't like being fooled who sometimes wonder if there is more to it!

Got a good trick of your own? Don't keep a secret!
