"Very professional! The presentation was perfect for the audience!"
-Sidney First UMC, OH
"Using illusion, Brett accomplished in 20 minutes what could not have been done in hours of preaching. I am certain that these students are better prepared to face the challenges of an ungodly culture as a result."

***** SHOW OPTIONS *****
1) JOURNEY BEYOND THE NATURAL SHOW:
This show targets teenagers and young adults with the purpose of unmasking deception in our culture today. I present the first half of the show in a very believable manner, by doing apparent demonstrations in the paranormal (ESP, telepathy, impossible predictions). This sometimes causes the audience to assume that I have been given some sort of supernatural ability. However, I explain that everything they witnessed was merely an illusion. I use this experience as a teaching point that we can easily be deceived when our primary lens for truth is based upon our perceptions (what we think we see or hear). I suggest to the audience that our means for finding truth must be based upon the TRUTH of Jesus Christ. I then take them behind the scenes and show them how cleverly and easily they were deceived and present the real supernatural, Jesus Christ. The purpose of the show is to show the audience how easy it is to be deceived. The presentation leads the audience to this simple conclusion: we must trust in our faith and not in our faulty perceptions or experiences.
2) ILLUSION AND TRUTH SHOW
This show targets family audience for the purpose of evangelistic outreach. Comedy, mystery, and music combine to form a truly entertaining experience for everyone. During the show, I share the message of Jesus Christ in a very non-threatening manner. I use simple illusions to demonstrate how each of us can have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This show is very versatile and can accommodate almost any environment.
***** TYPICAL PERFORMANCE *****
During the program, you can expect me to make a real bowling ball magically appear on stage, visually restore a torn newspaper, levitate an antique table, cause sporadic weather changes, and much more.
I make it very clear that what I do is an optical illusion and only God can do real miracles. I utilize comedy, audience participation, and sleight of hand to establish credibility with the audience; so that I may then share with them my personal testimony and effectively present the gospel.
***** TESTIMONY *****
I accepted Christ at the age of 13, after suffering from a severe depression. My depression was rooted in an unrealistic desire to have complete control over every aspect of my life. When I discovered that there were things that you can not control, like death or sickness, I became very afraid.
Once I committed my life to Christ and surrendered complete control to Him, God walked me through a period of healing and growth through the relationships of other believers. He brought ultimate meaning and purpose to my life that was far beyond my self-absorbed existence.
Today, I am continually challenged to live outside myself and glorify God through His calling for my life.
***** MINISTRY PHILOSOPHY AND BELIEFS *****
I believe that the teachings and character of Jesus Christ, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, are paramount to the way I live out every facet of my life. I also believe that I must be the very best at what I do, so the audience will want to listen to the message God has entrusted to me.
When talking to hosts about my philosophy behind ministry, I often use the example of Michael Jordan that my teacher once told me. What does he know about clothing that I do not? Absolutely, nothing…but he gets paid millions of dollars to do clothing commercials. Why? People believe that he is a credible person because he is extremely gifted at what he does…basketball. In the same way, I build credibility with my audience through excellence in the talent that God has given me. Once a bridge of credibility is established, I can then effectively share my faith to an audience that is interested in what I have to say.
