The Magic Stick Trick is one of the classics of magic you can buy a Magic stick for less than 10 dollars at any magic store or at Amazon...but I prefer to make one! It has become one of my personal favorites because it is small can be taken anywhere. Not to mention it is simple to learn and is a very effective illusion. Below I put a nice Video I found that shows how it works (0:47 seconds in video) and how to make one (2:04 seconds in video). The flipping motion that the guy does in the video takes a little bit of practice
before you can use it (probably less than 5 minutes to master the basic move). My advice is to sit in front of a mirror and
practice the flipping motion with your magic stick until you can make it look like both
sides are multicolored. After you watch the video I will show you how I tweaked it slightly to put together a gospel routine.
Build the Magic Stick exactly like it shows in video... except change the colors and their order that they are in. When you make your own stick put the colors in this order Black, White, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow. Make the back of the stick Red.
Gospel Routine
Have you seen one of these sticks before? (Flip the stick it so it looks like both sides are multicolored) As you can see both sides appear the same. This stick tells a neat story...but before I tell you I want you to pick a number between one and six and...and don't forget to tell me. Then count down like the guy does in the video to the third color (except instead of orange your third color is red)...So your color is red...that's interesting...do you know what the colors on here mean? The black on here(point to black) represents Sin. Sin is when you do bad things. White (point to white) represents purity... Now earlier you picked red right!? Red represents Christs Blood. ...did you know we all are sinners?...and its because of Christs blood we are made pure in Gods eyes. As a matter of fact if you confess your faith in Christ and repent and live for him scripture says his blood covers our sins. (Heb 9:13)(do the flipping motion with the stick a bit then make it all change to red) ask them if they have every prayed to give their life to Christ (if necessary lead them through the plan of salvation) then make it change back to the multicolor side at this point. The Blue(point to blue) represents baptism(describe that) and the Green represents going to church and Growing in your walk with God by reading the bible, praying, and telling others about what God has done in your life. Yellow(point to yellow) represents Heaven and the streets of gold which is where people go if they have put their faith and trust in Christ and his sacrifice.
