International Fellowship of Christian Magicians

The International Fellowship of Christian Magicians was formed in 1953 by a group of individuals interested in sharing the Gospel using sleight of hand illusions, juggling, puppetry, ventriloquism, comedy, clowning, mime, facepainting, storytelling and related performance-arts disciplines. Since its beginnings in California it has grown into an international organization with thousands of members past and present. These members are not only performers of Gospel magic, but also entertainers across the world, secular and gospel, that are members of the Christian faith. Notable members have included ministers and entertainers like: Andre Kole, Duane Laflin, Justin Flom, Randy Christensen, Kenrick "ICE" McDonald, Lance Burton, Don Bursell, David McCreary, David Ginn, Robert Hill, Peter McCahon, Toby Travis, Mark Shortland, Wes Iseli and others.

Many of its members are involved in ministries that not only share the Gospel and entertain through the use of illusions but also by using puppetry, ventriloquism, clowning, balloon sculpturing, drama, storytelling, chalk art, face art, juggling and other visual arts; as a result they include all these art forms at our training conventions, regional conferences and in their magazine, The Voice.

The International Fellowship of Christian Magicians has an annual convention that moves across the country, but is currently held in the Indianapolis, Indiana area. Their website is found at www.FCM.org.
