This is a section from No, I Can’t Make Your Wife Disappear Click on the link above to pre-order now. The best mind readers who study body language, have an uncanny ability to observe the smallest details, gather information surreptitiously, ask the right questions, and listen to everything. An old joke among mentalists (those who supposedly read minds) goes like this: you know it’s bad when you have to put your glasses…
I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing performers over the years, and often-times, to share the stage and ministry with them. It is so humbling to think of the people whose paths God has allowed me to cross, and to have had a chance to share in His work with them. Honestly, it sometimes blows me away to see how God orchestrates things. One such person is my good friend,…
A few years ago, one of my former students invited me to be a part of an awesome week of summer camp with his church. Over 100 teenagers made the trek from Tampa, Florida, to the hills of Tennessee to participate. It was an awesome week! The youth pastor who invited me, a young man I have known for years, gave me all the information about the camp, the expectations for my…
My father introduced me to the Sweet Science—boxing. Not sure I was ever a big fan but I do remember some of the epic matches that happened in my childhood. I also remember some of the terms I learned, like “apron” (has to do with part of the ring), “shoe shine” (in reference to the speed of a boxer), “cornerman” (the guy who meets you in the corner after a round, helps…
The Magic Castle, Two Drunk Irishman, and a Dozen Decks of Cards Without a doubt, one of my favorite places to perform sleight of hand is at the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood, CA. It is such an honor and humbling experience to exercise my craft for the crowd, and fellow magicians, who come out each night. One of the fun parts of being on stage at the Castle is…
I have a friend that works in the publishing world, and a few weeks ago he was formatting a book before sending it off to the printer. The “final” copy was in hand, so he ordered a hundred copies of the new book and waited eagerly for them to arrive. Two days after he placed the order, one of the editors from his team called him with urgent news—she had found a…
One of the great parts of travel is getting to meet new and interesting people. Over the last twenty years of travel I have flown across the country and around the globe, and without a doubt, I have met some fascinating people in my travels, especially on long flights. Airplanes are really conducive to these kinds of encounters because, let’s face it, you’re trapped in a steel tube at 35,000…
Psalm 23 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,he leads me beside quiet waters,3 he refreshes my soul.He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a]I will fear no evil, for you are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.6 Surely your goodness…
