I used to do a lot of Gospel Magic when I was a youth director for a church. I have not touched my stuff in a couple of years and decided I wanted to get back into magic. I will be doing a magic show at the bookstore I work at on June 30. THey will be printing up fliers tonight to promote it. And I need a stage name for the flyer. My creativity is gone today and I cannot think of anything. Can anyone give me some ideas.
I don't want to use cakejedi because I don't want to put a copyrighted name on the store's publicity material.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks
John Yanchek

I'm going to admit complete ignorance here (not the first time by a long shot), but what exactly is gospel magic?

I'm going to admit complete ignorance here (not the first time by a long shot), but what exactly is gospel magic? Gospel magic is using magic tricks to teach a Bible story or some truth about the Christian faith. For example, I have a "Magic Coloring Book Bible". I flip through it and the pages are blank. I would say something like many people think the Bible is boring. I flip through it again and there are black and white pictures. I say that if you actually read it, there are interesting stories. I flip through it a third time and the pictures are in color. I say that you can always find something new in the Bible no matter how many times you read it. I used to do about half gospel tricks and half "regular" magic tricks. |

Truly a great day. I've named a gospel magician. People can say what they will about me but none of them have ever named a gospel magician before.

The Amazing Yan made his debut today.
I was nervous because I had not done my magic in five years. And I was really nervous because I only had a small table, so I had to use close up magic and not my props. Close up magic takes a little more skill. But it went great. I don't know who had more fun, me or the kids.
Next up for the Amazing Yan is my store's kids club on June 30. This will be all me. Today I was a small part of the store's Kids Fest. But on the 30th, it will be all The AMAZING YAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
