Matt Adams Magic

Like many magicians before him, Matt Adams became interested in magic at an early age. Matt's parents bought him a magic set when he was about 8 years old; since that time, magic has been a big part of Matt's life. Early on in his hobby, Matt dabbled with creating balloon animals and juggling. However as Matt became a teenager, he discovered that his true love was for magic in its purest form and not in the popular clown act that often goes along with simple sleight of hand. As Matt's love for magic grew, he read extensively and watched every television show on magic that he could find. In this way he was greatly influenced by world class magicians such as Harry Houdini, David Copperfield, Derren Brown, Lance Burton, Jeff McBride, David Blaine, and Chris Angel.

As a child, Matt's favorite type of magic was sleight of hand and escapology. Now an adult, Matt has introduced many new forms of magic into his routines including mentalism and stage illusions. Because Matt started out as a street performer, he has learned to be quick on his feet and several of his routines have this street magic flair (close-up magic). Many magicians use trick decks and cards, but Matt believes that the most visual magic is achieved using normal cards and every day objects. The audience is most impressed when they can handle the objects themselves, turn the object over to the magician, and then witness the impossible.

Matt has been performing magic for children and adults alike for many years. He has had the privilege of performing in several different countries including the USA, Canada, Mexico, and Ireland. Matt has produced several online magic videos including a very popular tutorial for coin manipulation. His viewers now number in the hundred-thousands. He has also been published in the online magic magazine "The Magic Roadshow," distributed to many different countries world-wide. A current member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM) and previous member of the Fellowship of Chrisian Magicians (FCM), Matt has performed at such venues as the Space & Rocket Center, the Westin, and the world-famous Bridge Street.

Matt has worked specifically with children and youth in various settings including Sunday morning Bible studies, AWANA, VBS, various school programs, summer camps, mission trips, magic shows, and more for well over 10 years. Matt is a member of Friendship Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama. When given the opportunity, Matt enjoys using magic as a gateway to sharing the love of Jesus Christ with his audiences.

In 2009, Matt had many opportunities to share the gospel at various churches and schools.  God worked in a mighty way and we saw over 60 professions of faith in the 2009 season!  We look forward to seeing what God has in store for the 2010 year.
