• An Evening with Andre Kole
LAFCM Board with Andre Kole & son Tim at the Magic Castle 9/24/07
The Los Angeles Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians was honored to have as our guest Andre Kole. It was a wonderful evening at the famous Magic Castle of Hollywood, where he answered our submitted questions for over an hour and a half. For any of you who may not be familiar with Andre…
His bio reads: “ANDRÉ KOLE has been acclaimed America’s foremost inventor of magical effects and was unanimously named INVENTOR OF THE DECADE by the International Magicians Society. He has mystified hundreds of millions in the last 20 years with his elaborate and baffling full-stage productions of illusion.”
“Spending as much as 60% of his time each year on tour, he has performed throughout the United States and in 79 countries of the world. Millions of individuals have witnessed his incredible talent via special televised appearances that aired in 40 countries.”
“Kole, who has likely performed in more countries of the world than any magician in history, has bridged many language barriers with his universal art of magic and illusion.” (Source: www.Andrekole.org)
We are able to hear his first-hand accounts of his travels, how God has protected him in dangerous places, and how his creative process works with magic. It was a grand time. Afterwards, we joined our hearts together and I was privileged to lead in dedication prayer for his team and his future ministry around the world. That was a special opportunity.
As a special treat before the meeting our Board of Directors took Andre out for dinner. His team of seven, including his son Tim, were able to join us. They are currently on tour in Southern California Area, so it was special for us to be included in their schedule. His team was glad that they could visit the famous Magic Castle.
It was special for me, because I learned that Andre Kole has been to India three of four times over the years. I had this instant connection with him when I told of my recent Kid Mission to India, where I was doing gospel magic. So Andre was gracious to allow our Board to capture this photo with him and his son. What a way to celebrate the memory of his visit with us.
