The Great Commission Stage Size Gospel Magic

Are you looking for a large effect that has a powerful message? This is one of those unique effects that you are sure to want to use over and over again!

You could do an entire sermon centered around this one presentation!

This is a wonderful presentation for Easter since the lesson teaches about the Apostles, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Great Commission! It also works incredibly well for Missions Banquets, lessons on service, and our call to ministry!

Here is what happens:
Show four jumbo cards. Three of the cards have pictures of the Lord’s Supper; one has a picture of Jesus Christ. The backs of all the cards contain crosses. Place the picture of Jesus face down on an easel with the cross on the back visible to the audience. Place two of the Lord’s Supper cards on either side of this card and the third Lord’s Supper card into a folder. Flip the Lord’s Supper cards on the easel over so that there are now three crosses showing. Mix the crosses up and ask the audience to try find Jesus, but regardless of which card they pick, they are wrong. Revealing all three cards show only pictures of the Lord’s Supper ? Jesus is gone! Reach into the folder and produce the picture of Jesus as He has amazingly reappeared there. The audience is quick to note that there is yet another card visible the folder. But when that card is removed it contains a picture of earth. The audience insists you turn over that picture. Flipping the card shows the word, ‘YOU.’

All you need is a printer, 1 manila envelope, and cardstock to perform this amazing effect.

One simple and easy-to-do sleight-of-hand is the secret to this presentation.
