One-Hour or One and a Half Hour Ministry Show for Church Events

In the one-hour show, Earl and Kimberly have a variety of entertainment. Earl starts out the show differently each time. It may start out with him magically making Kimberly appear out of an empty box or he may start out with a little bit of juggling using juggling scarves, balls, clubs, Chinese Yo Yo, and juggling sticks. Then with the help of his lovely assistant Kimberly, he transitions into making a lot of scarves appear, disappear and turn into other objects. Next, they include audience participation with a series of funny tricks and entertainment.

As they move into a small puppet show, the kids of all ages laugh and sing along. To keep the magic going, they shift back to using tubes, boxes, cards, ropes, balloon twisting and fire to amaze their audience. Throughout the show, if it is a church event Earl and Kimberly present the Gospel of Jesus Christ and give an invitation near the end of the show. For the big finale, Earl and Kimberly will either end with making beach balls appear out of an empty child's play hut or magically float a child on the Magic Table.

The entire show has non stop action that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats waiting to see what comes next.

The one and a half hour show provides a few more exciting illusions & audience participation than the one hour show. If you want to impact your audience to the fullest, then book the one and a half hour show.

3. Alien Kids "We Are Aliens In This World"

(link hidden) The MYSTERY BOOK program, we use puppets, Christian illusions, juggling, balloon twisting, costumes, games, stories, scripture verses, singing and The Wordless Book to share what heaven is like; where and when sin came into the world; God's promise of sending a Savior to forgive and take our sins away; the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus and how to grow in a relationship with Him. Each day of your event we will focus on a color from the Wordless Book. Each one of the colors tells a story. These colors in order are gold, black, red, white and green.

(link hidden) the BATTLE PROTECTION program, we use puppets, Christian illusions, juggling, balloon twisting, costumes, games, stories, scripture verses, and singing to show kids that there are spiritual battles in life that we have to be prepared for. Each day we will focus on Ephesians 6:10-17 where your students will encounter each piece of the Full Armor of God including the Belt of Truth, the Helmet of Salvation, the Shield of Faith, the Breast Plate of Righteousness, the Shoes of Peace and the Sword of the Spirit. We come in and provide you with a 3 – 5 night Crusade, Vacation Bible School, Kids or Family Crusade or Kids Camp. Each night our teaching lasts about 1 hours in length. For camps we work with your schedules for day and night.

(link hidden) the ALIEN KIDS program- Kids have always been curious about space and "life on other planets." This theme capitalizes on that curiosity by comparing the life of a Christian with the life of an alien. 1 Peter 2:11 teaches us that we are "aliens in this world." To live a life that is out of this world, we must be careful to "stay away from sinful things." That includes guarding our hearts and minds from all of the sinful influences of the world. It is a fun learning experience with space backgrounds, space and alien decorations, lots of music, scripture learning, story time, magic tricks, juggling, balloon twisting, puppets and lots of audience participation.

We provide the decorations, the back drop, the teaching, the entertainment, the games, the music and the Gospel Message. We do not offer crafts or snack time. If you want to incorporate that into the event then let us know. However, you will need to provide for that. **********************************************************************
