Last night our church was full as we hosted the annual Carluke Churches' "Palm Sunday Praise" service.
We had, as our special guest, the amazing Steve Price, who describes himself as a "Gospel Illusionist."
As well as being a highly-skilled conjuror, he is also a very witty entertainer, so we all had a real fun-filled evening. The singing wasn't bad either and, as usual, I got a lot of enjoyment out of playing in the band.
Steve uses his 'magical' skills to convey a Christian message and he does it very professionally, with a great sense of comic timing.
I'm sure there are some people who think that Jesus was really just some kind of illusionist when it came to performing miracles, like walking on water, or turning water into wine etc. For such sceptics the Easter story must seem like the ultimate conjuring trick. But for those of us who believe there is no illusion about it: it is instead the ultimate reality.
PS. In case, you are wondering... although the guillotine chopped the carrots clean through, the young man's head stayed firmly on his shoulders.
