This book is about performing a single mentalism effect.with a Christian theme.in a public performance. This contrasts with Gospel Magic in at least three ways. First, a Gospel Magic performance may feature religious themes in all of the effects. Second, Gospel Magicians typically engage church or para-church1 audiences, but many Christian performers typically engage audiences in the wider public community.
Third, public Christian mentalism contrasts with some of gospel magic in another way. A public effect is not designed around a plan of salvation, or to "sell" people on the faith. A public performance, as I define it, presents some theme or idea within Christianity's "worldview." The audience learns something about how Christianity views reality.
