“…You involved the audience, were enjoyable to all ages, and shared the Gospel in such a unique way…”

“Thank you for your tremendous program.  The ministry which you did among us, both at our Annual Church Camp, and at our fall round-up dinner were excellent.  We enjoyed the way in which you involved the audience, were enjoyable to all ages, and shared the Gospel in such a unique way.  We certainly recommend you to others who are planning special event for their church.  Your professional manner in which you organized your materials for promotion, and details of the events were also much appreciated.  We will look forward to working with you in the future.”

- Rev. Ingrid White, Pastor of Family Ministries, Emmanuel Baptist Church,

Victoria, BC

 

“Thank you, again, for a great Gospel magic show – our fourth, I think.  We appreciate the clear presentation of the Gospel through your tricks and slight of hand.  The adults in our congregation enjoyed the presentation as much as the children – a real family presentation.  Your program makes it easy for us to invite non-church going people to come in, thus expanding our outreach into the community.”

- Pastor Mel Tucker, Cowichan Valley Church of the Nazarene, Duncan, BC

 

“I would like to personally endorse Donald Dunphy as a well accomplished magician and entertainer.  He did a wonderful job entertaining the children and parents as well as effectively communicating the Christian message of Jesus Christ.  I personally found Donald to be entertaining and amusing in his presentation, while using his magic to present a clear message to his audience.”

- Pastor Peter Kenniphaas, Bethel Baptist Church, Duncan, BC

 

“Our church is a repeat customer of the services of Donald Dunphy.  Over the pastfew years our AWANA clubbers have really enjoyed watching the Magic and Illusion of this performer.  The tricks have been performed well and the dialog that has accompanied them has been natural.  Throughout the entire performance the gospel message is presented and as this is a vital aspect of our AWANA clubs, Donald’s grasp and use of Scripture is appreciated.  I highly recommend the Magic and Illusion of Donald Dunphy to any individual or group who might be looking to baffle and astonish young people.”

- Pastor Peter Rashleigh, Sluggett Memorial Baptist Church, Brentwood Bay, BC

 

“In preparation for our events we found Donald to be very accommodating and professional in his dealings with us.  These first impressions were not lost when we met him in person and observed his ministry here at Hillcrest Church.  His illusions were top notch and he used these illusions to creatively teach biblical truths.  I personally enjoyed the show and how effectively he was able to hold the children’s attention and yet present the biblical message with great clarity.  I would commend Donald for your consideration as he has a quality program that communicates effectively with children, and he does all of this with a real servant’s heart.”

- Rev. Mike Landry, Hillcrest Church, Medicine Hat, AB (Letter #1)

 
 
“…Excellent … very pleased to recommend you to other churches and organizations…”

“Through my years of ministry, I have witnessed a number of gospel magic programs that left a lot to be desired.  Your program however was excellent.  I appreciated the way that the gospel message was comfortably presented as a part of the program and not just ‘tacked on’ at the end.  Your interaction with the children and your sensitivity to the children you had take part in your presentation was appreciated by all of the ‘older children’ in the audience.  I am very pleased to recommend you to other churches and organizations.  You have been professional not only in your presentation but in all of your dealings with us.”

- Pastor Ernest Kennedy, Central Baptist Church, Victoria, BC
 

“With ages that ran from 6 to 12, Donald had an appealing, attractive and Gospel-centered magic / illusion performance that dazzled the kids and adults alike.  As Director of this camp I would like to go on record as recommending Donald for further camp ministry.  It was a real treat to minister and fellowship with him.  He is a unique individual who loves Christ and desires to see others come to a saving knowledge of Him."

- Pastor Frank Krulicki, Director of Junior Camp 1998, Echo Lake Bible Camp,

Echo Lake, SK

 

“I have always found him to be entertaining with a quality performance, appropriate humor and good audience participation.  Although the shows I have seen have been geared to children, he has the attention of the adults as well.  I offer my recommendations to anyone looking for good family entertainment at their event as I have found Donald to be an enjoyable and successful addition to the events I have been a part of.”

- Shawna Dee Walker, Board Member for Youth for Christ (Victoria),

Victoria, BC

 

“We would highly recommend Donald Dunphy and his unique presentation of magic and Christianity.  We felt that his gospel show was an extremely successful outreach to non-Christians.  The comments and feedback that we received from the audience after the show were both positive and encouraging.  Donald puts a great deal of time, talent, and energy into his presentation and the results are truly ‘magical.’”

- Dorothy and Mark Hawes, Family Fellowship Evening Coordinators,

Oaklands Chapel, Victoria, BC

 

 

 

“Thank you for your superb ministry to our church last Sunday.  The distance was rather cumbersome but for our part, it was well appreciated.  I thought your choice of ‘participants’ was very appropriate – a child, a teen and an adult.  You ministered to the whole family even though it could have been billed as a children’s event.”

- Pastor Don Tyler, Dallas-Barnhartvale Baptist Church, Kamloops, BC

 

“Donald did a wonderful job.  Using performance magic to illustrate Biblical truths is a neat way to present the gospel.  The mystery, colour, and fun help the children to concentrate.  They respond with surprise when they think that they have figured out an illusion only to find out that they are wrong.  It leaves them thinking about the illusion and the message it portrays.  Mr. Dunphy is also very easy to work with.  Being self-contained, bringing all his own sound and presentation equipment means that he is versatile and compact.  He would be able to present his program in venues from the smallest to larger ones.  This means that he does not require a lot of help and setup on the hosts’ part.  I recommend Donald Dunphy without reservation to anyone who is seeking ministry or entertainment presentations of magic and illusion.”

- Pastor Stephen Jay, Colwood Pentecostal Church, Victoria, BC

 

“Your warm and professional manner related well to the children and your use of illusion to present Christian truths was imaginative and effective.  Both the children and the adults in attendance enjoyed the morning.  I gladly commend you to other churches may be considering your show.”

- Rev. Richard J. Avery, St. John The Baptist Anglican Church, Duncan, BC
 

“I would like to compliment you on the professional manner in which you presented the whole performance.  Your foresight concerning presenting rewards for students that were well behaved reinforced quality attention from the students, and was greatly appreciated.  Although the entertainment value of your show was absolutely wonderful, the sincerity of your message of God’s love and many other Bible truths came through loud and clear.  P.S.  Now if only I would not have asked for my $5.00 bill back! :)”

- Mark Langley, Principal, Trinity Christian School, Victoria, BC

 

“He performed an entertaining show of illusion and magic that had an awesome biblical message!  Right from the start of the show, Donald let the students know that he has no special power but rather will perform tricks of amazement.  Each segment of his performance had an excellent biblical story or reference.  This entertaining performer is an inspiration spiritually and emotionally.  You will leave his performance feeling good!  I recommend Donald Dunphy to any school, Christian or public.”
