Today?s Oregon?s newspapers proclaimed ?Andre Kole wowed an audience of 400 Thursday night when he floated into the air – apparently unaided by wires or any other visible means of support.?
The reality of the illusion and Mr. Kole?s ministry is that he has well-designed and perfectly executed support. As exemplified by his appearance last night at Southern Oregon University’s Stevenson Union, Mr. Kole knows what he is doing and why he is doing it.
He told reporters he tries ?to create wonder and keep the wonder alive in people. With so many problems in the world today, people enjoy fantasy because, if only for a little while, it turns their attention away from all that’s wrong. They love to be entertained. They love to be fooled.”
The article is a great profile of a man responsible for the religious conversion of thousands (including yours truly) as well as some of the most innovative illusions in our Art. He takes great pride in his consulting role with David Copperfield and other top illusionists.

In return, The Society of American Magicians and The Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood have both given him their highest awards, and The International Magicians Society unanimously choose him to receive the highly coveted MERLIN AWARD for Magic Inventor of the Decade.
The illusionist does not stray far from his true mission, that he works through his magic. Kole told the audience, “Recently in a worldwide television program, David Copperfield made this statement: ‘The miracles of the Bible go beyond anything that any magician or illusionist could ever perform, but greater than any physical miracle was the ability of a man named Jesus to bring purpose and meaning to the lives of millions of people throughout the centuries.'” Kole said he wholeheartedly agreed with Copperfield.
