The Birth of Gospel Magic & The Fellowship of Christian Magicians – Historical Book

This book tells the inspiring true story behind the formation of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians and the early efforts to use magic as a tool for sharing the Gospel. It traces the journey beginning in 1947, when Christian magician Dr. Joe Kemp used sleight of hand and illusion to communicate Biblical truth and draw young people to Christ.

The author recounts how, after witnessing Dr. Kemp’s ministry in both Denver and California, he recognized that magic could be used not for deception, but as powerful object lessons to teach Scripture in a memorable and engaging way. This realization sparked the early gatherings that eventually grew into an international fellowship of Christian magicians, pastors, teachers, performers, and evangelists.
