I’ve been doing what I do for almost 20 years now. Can you believe that? I can’t. I’ve been fascinated by the art of magic since I was 9 years old, about 20 years ago, and have been performing professionally for 15 years! During that entire stretch of time, I have been repeatedly asked questions over and over again like:
“Where can I get a copy of your show?”
“Why don’t you have a DVD?”
“Did someone record this? I REALLY wish my friend could have been here to experience it!”
Well, it’s finally happening. I’ve purposefully waited for well over a decade, because I wanted to make sure the timing was perfect and that it could end up being everything I dreamed it could be. But yes, I’m finally releasing a live show on dvd. And trust me, it’s going to be absolutely amazing!
It’s going to be so much more than just a live show. We’ve been filming for the past few months all over the place, including places like England and Scotland. We took a trip to the U.K. a few months ago just to work on a section of this project. We’re investing in it that much! Why? I truly believe it’s going to be an incredible resource for others, and has the potential to change lives. And when a project has that kind of potential, why wouldn’t you give it everything you’ve got?
This is an amazing opportunity for you to be a huge part of this project! On October 23rd, we’ll be filming a live show at the beautiful Paramount Theater in Anderson, IN! It’s in the Indianapolis area, right outside of the city. Not only would I love to see you there, we need to ensure that we have an absolutely PACKED house that night! If you just can’t make it, the chances are, you know someone who lives in the area.
In fact, why not take a moment right now to send them information about the show and help us spread the word? You don’t want them to find out about it after it’s over, see it later on TV or dvd, then discover that you knew about it all along, do you? No need for anyone to regret not being there…let’s all spread the word and pack this place out. It’s a unique opportunity for everyone to be involved in something that has the potential to be really, really special.
Plus, I’ll be risking my life that night attempting something for the first time that has never been attempted before. Even Houdini himself refused to try it. But I will…and I want you to be there to experience it being attempted for the first time. You can be a part of history! Trust me, you do not want to miss this show!

If you read the title of this post, and you’re reading this, then you and I probably have something in common. That is, we both believe in the ministry of Upward Unlimited. Over the past 12 years, I’ve had the opportunity to see literally tens of thousands of people who are hearing the truth found in the gospel because of this incredible program.
After meeting so many Upward league directors, I know that it takes a lot of commitment to pull off a successful season. I respect each of you for your willingness and desire to serve, using such an awesome tool. It’s always an exciting moment to see the final event…the Awards Night Celebration. Through my twelve years of experience with the Upward program, I’ve come to learn just how important this event is, in that your venue is filled with kids and their families, many who have no idea how much Jesus can radically change their lives.
With that in mind, I’ve written this post with the hopes that you too will be able to finish strong and well by making your Awards Celebration a huge success! At the same time, I also understand that writing something like this requires a great deal of credibility. That’s why it’s important for you to understand that in years of working with Upward Unlimited, I’ve had the opportunity to play a major role in almost 500 different awards nights with a combined attendance of over 250,000 people. I’ve had the privilege of being part of some of the most creative and successful Awards Nights in the country. Nonetheless, I’ve also been a part of some the least effective. Through that, I’ve come to learn through time and experience exactly what it takes to make an Awards Night a success. That’s why Upward Unlimited, including founder and president, Caz McCaslin, has continually endorsed our ministry and efforts through each of those past twelve years.
I encourage you to read through this post and learn from the experience I’ve gained. Not only do I believe that your Awards Night will be much more professional and organized, but also more effective. It’s a long post, but the results that will come from studying and learning from these mistakes is far greater than the moments it will take to read them. I really do believe it is that important!

Anyone who has seen our live show has probably heard the story about how a little box of magic tricks changed my life forever. When my grandmother gave me a magic set for Christmas when I was nine years old, I never could have predicted what a huge impact it would have on my future.
Let’s face it…not every kid is going to be a professional magician and travel the world as a Master Illusionist. However, I do believe that there are at least 7 HUGE reasons why every kid on the planet should learn a few tricks, and get a little into magic, even if it’s only for a season… READ ALL
I love doing video blogs/interviews. I love talking to others and learning about people. But usually I’m interviewing music artists, high-profile speakers, authors, pastors…mainly leaders. I decided to sit down and talk to a kid, and I can’t wait to do it again. After all, even kids are leaders for some.
Meet my friend, Isaac. He’s one of our members on illusionism.TV. He talks about his Twitter profile, experience with Apple and AT&T, and plenty about his love for video games. If you’ve ever wondered what it might look like for a performing artist, (me), to get upstaged and outperformed during an interview by a 9 year old kid, this is what it looks like. Enjoy this 5 minutes of non-stop entertainment: READ ALL
A few weeks ago, a friend sent me this INCREDIBLE short film. It made me smile, wonder, and even gave me chills. It has a special quality to it that is hard to describe. It’s captivating, and enchanting. I hope you love it as much as I did… READ ALL
In my last post, I told you how much I loved Inception, and how I believe that real “inception” actually happens every day.
Last night, my wife and I enjoyed another incredible film, Book of Eli. I didn’t get to enjoy it on a massive digitally projected screen or with state of the art surround sound, but I still liked it. Not only did I like it, I found it convicting.
There’s a scene in the movie where Denzel Washington’s character gets asked about the “old world”, which in case you haven’t seen the film, would be in reference to the current world that you and I live in today. His response was simple, yet profound: READ ALL
Harry Houdini, one of the world’s most famous magicians and escape artists was certainly an expert in the art of deception. This expertise gave him very valuable perspective, including the following words: 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
