Church Groups

These shows are normally performed on stage at special events your church might sponsor.  These shows can be strictly for entertainment or can follow a Christian theme using principles and teachings taken directly from the Bible.  These themes are simple in nature and will use stories that most kids will have heard of such as the story of Noah’s Ark, Moses parting the Red Sea, Jesus walking on water, etc.

Randy uses his unique brand of magic, comedy and storytelling to illustrate the stories of the Bible bringing a better understanding of God’s word to the children.  The show features a ton of audience interaction and enough magic to keep your guests amazed!
 

“The Christian theme was wonderful and greatly entertaining for everyone. Your Christian theme would be great for Bible schools. Very professional to work with.” -Kathy Baker, St. Peter’s United Church of Christ; Tower City, PA

In addition, Randy is available to perform at Sunday School events or church socials, teen youth group functions, Vacation Bible Schools, or holiday parties and benefits.

As a Christian, Randy wants to be sure every message adheres to God’s word.  He would be happy to discuss this information with your pastor prior to performing to avoid any conflicts with the way your church illustrates these stories to children.
 

“Great fun for the whole family! The children were quiet and entertained for a whole hour!” -John Kratz, Pastor, Barnitz United Methodist Church; Carlisle, PA Listen to Pastor Kratz’s testimonial!

If there is a specific Bible story you’d like to see as part of the show, feel free to mention it and Randy may be able to work it into the theme.
