Eden to Gethsemane – Magic Trick – A powerful gospel routine using paired cards to take your audience on a journey from the Garden of Eden to the Crucifixion. Interactive, visual, and perfect for ministry presentations.
Take your audience on a faith-filled journey through Scripture with Eden to Gethsemane, a gospel magic effect created by professional magician Ray (Nodder) Franklyn. Using a series of paired cards, this routine illustrates the story of mankind—from the Garden of Eden to the Crucifixion—while weaving in lessons about faith and God’s redemptive plan.
Up to seven helpers can be involved, making this a highly interactive presentation for larger groups. With each word spelled out, your helper can call “CHANGE” at any time, yet the cards still come together in perfect matching pairs. By the end, participants hold each stage of the story, with the final helper holding the Crucifixion cards—a vivid reminder of Christ’s sacrifice.
This routine is flexible enough to be performed with multiple helpers or adapted for just one, and while not strictly a Christmas trick, it beautifully ties in the Christmas story as part of God’s greater plan of salvation.

Scripture Storytelling: Moves from Eden through the Old and New Testaments, ending at the Crucifixion.
