Dear Church Leader:
I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Michael L. Reist. I am an ordained Lutheran pastor currently serving Bethany Evangelical Lutheran Church in Stony Creek Mills. I of course love my calling to the ministry, but over the last several years I have developed one of my other loves and am now using it as another ministry tool.
Since I was a child I loved watching magicians and became a magician myself. However over time I became busy and left my “magic” on the proverbial “backburner”. However, several years ago I began using illusions occasionally to illustrate my children sermons. As a result of the response I received, I returned to my study of illusions and sleight-of-hand and over the last few years have put together a professional program that combines illusions and story-telling to bring the gospel of our Lord and Savior to people in a somewhat different format.
At the bottom of this page is one testimonial from a fellow Lutheran pastor where I brought the message of Christ to the church’s Jr. Youth Group. I can present a gospel message program to young children, to teens, to adults or to a mixed audience depending upon your preference. In addition, if you have other groups that are affiliated with the church such as scouts, daycare, etc. I also can present either a gospel illusion show or a regular illusion/magic show depending upon their preference.
Please feel free to contact me.
Yours In Christ,
The Rev. Michael L. Reist
The Amazing Magi
