Welcome to the Catholic Magicians' Guild Blog

Hi Everyone!

You don't have to be Catholic to be a member of the Catholic Magicians' Guild (though it helps...) but you have to be a magician interested in Gospel Magic, the art of using stage magic and sleight-of-hand to teach the Catechism to children and young adults.

My recently released book, The Catechists Magic Kit is a good introduction to the art:

Gospel Magic was started in the early 1800s by St John Bosco, also known as "Don Bosco" who lived in Turin in northern Italy.

More to come later.
