before it all began
let me tell you the real story of how i began to get interested in illusions. sometimes i leave this part out. sometimes i leave many parts out. but not on purpose.
my great friend jeff allred came over to my house one day and he showed me a trick. it was the cups and balls. i was impressed. so he took me to a magic store. the first trick the magician showed me was called the invisible card trick. ok, it blew me away. i was an instant fan. i got the bug. i wanted to see more. later i decided to purchase a small trick that i could try to learn. at about the same time as this, i was trying to figure out what to do with my life. i began to hear the voice of God saying this is it. he wanted me to use illusions as a ministry. i didnt understand how in the world i could do that. after much prayer and fasting i knew what God was wanting me to do. i quit my job and... thats when it all began

ok jeff, if you are reading this, if it wasnt for you i wouldnt be here. but i guess you hace been telling everybody that already. ha
jeff is now a pastor in oklahoma. proud of him and what he has done for me and many others across america. he has a blog, www.pastorjeffallred.blogspot.com
i remember that trip to the magic store. you said "i'm going to sell everything i have and give to Ray." that was the guy running the store. that was a fun day in the shreveport. i guess you did kind of do that, huh?
yea, I've wondered about that. if God was just like outta the blue saying illusions. that makes sense, now.
Sara_ Wow!! That is amazing!! I'm touched! I hope God speaks to me and tells me what he wants me to do. I'm still young and have a lot to learn. I'll remember your story Brock! Don't you just love life because of the fact that we can see the miracles God does for us??? Man!!! (red head from Believe)
hmm. I thought it had something to do with jonathan dupree. but then again, i'm often wrong. :) i just loved how you could make a card stick to the ceiling with my name on it! (come to my house and decorate my ceiling!)
Yea i just like telling people we are even friends - we are so proud of you!! But i have to tell them that it all started at a little store called Magic Masters! I still have the "rising card trick" remember that one? Lova ya bro!
