Countdown 321 to Christmas

Countdown 321 to Christmas is another creative Gospel effect from professional magician Ray “Nodder” Franklyn. Designed for ministry use, this trick combines audience participation, surprise, and a meaningful message.

Here’s how it works:
Your helper is given a laminated black-and-white drawing of the Three Wise Men to color. From an empty paper bag, three colored markers are shown and then placed back inside. Without looking, your helper randomly draws one marker at a time, using each to color the robe of a different Wise Man.

Once the picture is finished, you reveal another laminated picture that has been face down on the table—the prediction. To everyone’s amazement, the colors chosen at random match perfectly! And in case the drawing doesn’t match, there’s a special “Rescue Package” envelope to ensure everything ends well (and with a smile).

This trick is easy to do, entertaining to watch, and a wonderful way to share the message of Christ during the Christmas season.
