Mentalism With Christian Perspectives

<p>This book is about performing a single mentalism effect...with a Christian theme...in a public performance. This contrasts with Gospel Magic in at least three ways.</p><p>First a Gospel Magic performance may feature religious themes in all of the effects.</p><p>Second Gospel Magicians typically engage church or para-church1 audiences but many Christian performers typically engage audiences in the wider public community.</p><p>Third public Christian mentalism contrasts with some of gospel magic in another way. A public effect is not designed around a plan of salvation or to sell people on the faith. A public performance as I define it presents some theme or idea within Christianity's worldview. The audience learns something about how Christianity views reality.</p>
