Faria offers three different church shows:

Its Magic It's Magic is a wholesome and hilarious family show for Children of all ages. Faria begins with magic to music- Real life fire-eating, appearing colorful handkerchiefs and the classic of magic, "The Symphony of the Linking Rings." Audience participation: every child of every age wants to volunteer in a magic show and everyone is invited to participate. Meet Faria's Puppet friends!  Faria is an accomplished ventriloquist and you'll meet Winchester the Buzzard, Carl the Gorilla and an abominable snowman! A volunteer from the audience is levitated on stage!! Faria borrows a $100.00 dollar bill and though it is burned it is discovered in a sealed tin can held by a member of the audience. It's Fun to Be Fooled!!! An entertaining and hilarious magic show with an emphasis on spiritual truths.  The show is structured much like "Its Magic" but in the middle of the show Faria presents the gospel. Its fun to be fooled when it only costs you a few minutes, a bit of attention or the price of a ticket. It is not fun to be fooled when it comes to you marriage, your job, or where you will spend eternity. If you can be fooled for fun... you can be fooled for real!!!

Do the Spirits Return?

Do the Spirits Return is a 90 minute show that examines claims of "so-called psychics.  Faria recreates on stage many of the phenomenon that have baffled experts for over 150 years.  In this demonstration" You'll learn how spiritualism arose in the United States at the same time as other cults. How such "experts" as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (author of Sherlock Holmes) was fooled by Houdini. How two little girls, Kate and Margaret Fox, fooled their village... and the entire world. See a full-light demonstration of apparent psychic phenomena with spoons bending, objects moving with nothing attached and handkerchiefs dancing. Faria will predict up to two weeks or more in advance the headline of a newspaper that comes out the very day of the show!!! Learn the five ways people are easily fooled. Discover not only what the Bible has to say about magic and the occult but how to protect yourself from those who would lead you astray.

Fee for each show varies with the size of the audience, the distance to the show.  Please use the contact form to book Faria for your next event.  Please note: Church shows tend to fill up fast around the holidays: July (VBS), Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Easter.
