If you are…
1. Looking for a great way to entertain and show appreciation to your staff and volunteers this upcoming Christmas season, or…
2. Looking to do something different than the same-old, same-old, holiday-themed Christmas outreaches for your community…
We just created the perfect solution: READ ALL
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.” - Helen Keller
I love that everyone thinks it’s awesome that my wife, Kate, and I are “willing to go travel the world” and do missions work. But so many times, the “I think that’s awesome” comments are followed by, “I could never do that.” And if you try to determine why they think that, it almost always boils down to comfort and security…
“It’s just too unsafe.” Baloney. (And that’s to put it nicely.)
The chances are good that READ ALL
I bet you’re missing out on so much of life, just by how you currently see things. There’s so much to gain by just changing your perspective every now and then. My recent trip to Nicaragua was a strong reminder of that. Few things bring more perspective than international travel to a third-world country.
Do you need to change your perspective?
The famous artist, Leonardo Da Vinci, (who painted the Mona Lisa), was known for changing his perspective before considering one of his masterpieces 100% complete. Apparently, when Da Vinci was supposedly 99.9% finished, his final step was to look at his painting in a mirror. Simply by changing his perspective and how he saw the painting, he would notice needed changes in the painting that were impossible for him to see before. Turns out, perspective is a really powerful thing.
I’ve always struggled with this. Judging others is something I used to do a lot of. My pride, arrogance, and selfishness always allowed me to look at other people and situations and immediately jump to conclusions. I’d think, “That guy has READ ALL
Not long ago, I received a Facebook message from someone who had seen our show in Roanoke, VA, and had bought one of our magic sets. It included a video that almost made me cry. It’s pretty long, and you may not have time to watch Jordan’s entire show, but you HAVE to take 60 seconds out of your schedule to watch the first minute of this video. I promise, you’ll smile.
It’s videos like this one that make me realize the value and importance of illusionism.TV.

Yesterday, I clearly explained a situation we now have on our hands due to a cancelled Summer tour. If you missed it, I’d highly recommend you read that first, before reading this. You can do that by clicking here. For those of you who already know what’s going on, and came back here today to pitch in and help out, THANK YOU!!! I’ll jump straight to the point…
For the next 30 days, I’m offering free shows! Is there a catch? Of course! Isn’t there always? ;-) Keep reading… READ ALL
If I were really honest with you, I’d have to confess that I hate asking for help. I’m serious. I’m not a good receiver, and asking others for help has always been really hard on my pride. You see, my personal life has always paralleled my vocation. I’m an illusionist, and I have a tendency to live an illusion. I’ve struggled my entire life with maintaining and managing perceptions, doing my best to control and manipulate how others perceive me. If you’re good at that, it’s pretty simple to fake it, and leave others with whatever impression you want that person to have of you…humble, nice, kind, or even wealthy, popular, or successful. Let’s just say that traits like authenticity, and transparency, have never been strengths for me. Until… READ ALL
Hi Friends,
We’ve loved seeing and meeting so many amazing people over the past month on our variety show tour, “Sens de Vie.” We have one weekend left! This weekend, (as you can see on our Tour Schedule), we’ll be in Crawfordsville, IN, Muskegon, MI, and Eldora, IA. We can’t wait! But we really, REALLY need your help…I have a HUGE request. READ ALL
In this day and age, it’s rare to get mail from real people. And when you do, it’s even more rare that it’s hand-written. Today, I cleaned off my desk, and rediscovered some hand-written letters that have come in. As I read through them, I was once again blown away that God actually uses something as crazy as simple magic tricks, performed by an incredibly imperfect guy like me, to actually impact people’s lives. Here are a few excerpts from recent letters…
In a child’s handwriting:
“Dear Mr. Harris, The story you told us about following your dream really inspired me. I learned that I need to follow God with my dream. God has given me the dream of being a doctor in poor countries in Africa. The only problem is that I’ve been trying to follow it my own way, not God’s. Your story taught me a big lesson that I will never forget. Thank you!”

This past weekend, we had the honor of partnering with 88.3, a radio station based in Springfield, MO. They did a Valentine’s Day event for their listeners, and we had an absolute blast performing for a PACKED house. It was a really, really fun event for us, and is probably the 4th or 5th radio station we’ve partnered with here in the U.S.
This morning, my assistant Beth got the following email in her inbox from Ben Birdsong, the Station Manager. It was completely unsolicited, and 100% unexpected: READ ALL
