Three Card Reunion (Restoration)

This is not my original story at all; however, I wanted to include it since I like it so much.  I found this in a small paper back book that I bought named "Gospel Magic: Plain and Simple" by Mr. Paul Everett.  This particular trick takes a while to duplicate; however, if you are sure you want to attempt making it, I'll do my best to help you out.

 

You start with three caards.  Adam is on the first one and God on the third one.  But look at what is on the middle one - Sin.  Ever since Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, Sin has always come between God and man.  So how do we get back into relationship with Him?

 

Well we actually have a fourth card of sorts - a secret card - and on it is a cross with Jesus, Savior, Lord on it.  So let's see how we put the four cards together.

 

Once you remove the sin card we now have God and Adam reunited.  That's what happens when the sin is removed from our heart and soul.

 

But let's look closely at the Sin card.  Well it's actually not a card at all.  It's part of a card that forms a flap in which we can put the Jesus Christ Savior card.  This pseudo card is permanently attached to the Adam card.

 

Now you can see how the Jesus card fits snugly behind the Sin card.  The Jesus card is removed instead of the Sin card.  The person thinks he is holding the Sin card.  Make note of him holding the Sin card tightly. This is the way God sees us holding on tightly to our sins before we give them up.

 

 

So after taking away the Sin card, supposedly, you'll place the God card over the pesudo Sin card.  Finally ask the person to show us his Sin card so that we can see all the sins that are no longer between God and man.  To his and everyone's surprise, there is no Sin card but rather the Jesus card because He has forgiven us of our sins and now He lives inside our heart and soul where the sins once were.  This is an awesome trick with another restoration theme.
