As with my past lecture notes, I want to start out with a "disclaimer" and "proclaimer." That is -- without Christ, I and all I do are nothing! I proclaim him as my Lord and Savior! I pray that you will find some useful ideas in these next few pages to further the good news of Jesus Christ. 

Also, stated in my previous notes, like most magic and ventriloquism, many of these effects have been done in some former fashion in the past. I have tried, with my warped mind to give these ideas a new birth by combining them with current and familiar products and props.

My goal in sharing with you these effects is to break some paradigms! I want to encourage you to view things in a different light and "think out of the box!" In this way, you are not simply copying other people's ideas, but are using these ideas and applying them to your own God-given talents that you have been blessed with.
