"I came
to Christ as an adult with a wife and two children. After being
raised Catholic, then a lifetime of searching many different "religions,"
I found the Lord through some good friends in Orlando, Florida.
My wife and I accepted the Lord on New Years Day 1996.
"The
Lord is currently teaching us patience (we have two kids!) and
the passion for service. Also, we are learning to share with others
how our relationship with Christ has changed our lives and can
change theirs.
"We decided
to bring our comedy and magic into churches because we felt a
strong calling to use our gifts and talents to share The Good
News of Jesus Christ through laughter, comedy and amazement. Some
of the most rewarding shows we have done have been Christian events.
We feel a purpose and reason for performing.
"The
Lord uses our gift of comedy and magic by opening doors that we
had never even considered entering. We have met and been influenced
by so many people in the church that have changed the course of
our lives for the better."
"Chris is spiritually sensitive,
highly professional, humorous, fun, uplifiting, interactive,
great at incorporating children into his program, and able to
clearly present the gospel. And besides that, his illusions
are truly amazing! In addition to these qualities, he is easy
to work with, humble, and has a servant's heart. We plan on
inviting him again in the future."
- Pastor Ed & Pastor Jim,
Grace Church
"...everyone
felt it was the best event we've ever had! We were especially
pleased with your ability to keep us laughing. I personally enjoyed
how you performed your magic tricks, and at the same time, included
information and humorous facts about OCRM. You did your homework
well."
- Jim, President,
Orange County Rescue Mission
"...I
have parents and kids stop me regularly to tell me how much they
enjoyed that day. In particular, I have received many comments
regarding how well you were able to weave the presentation of
the Gospel into your performance.. We look forward to having you
back on our campus for other activities in the near future."
- Pastor Alan,
Upward Bound Sports, Hillside
Community Church
"Mr.
Blackmore is not only a gifted magician-they are a dime a dozen.
He is a very valuable performer blessed with an easy, genuine
personality that reaches beyond the stage and endears him to the
audience as well as to children. He is a fine example of the Disney
magic you strive to attain."
