What Leaders are Saying
BJ’s flawless presentation of astonishing illusions is only matched by his incredible presence on stage. He is charming beyond words! He understands the true art of connecting with an audience, and presents so much more than just a ‘show’. He takes the audience on an exciting journey, full of laughter, transparent stories, heartfelt wonder, and amazement. The result is an experience that leaves the audience refreshed and inspired...it is truly unforgettable! Our people are still talking about BJ, and we couldn’t recommend him higher!
--Julie Arnold, Service Programming Director, North Point Community Church, Alpharetta, GA
Each year at Catalyst, our team does everything in our power to raise the bar and blow people away with creativity. This year, we called BJ Harris to come play a role in helping us succeed at that goal. He took the time to help us creatively illustrate the theme of our conference, and then performed an illusion that left us speechless. Our entire staff along with the entire audience of 11,000 people were in awe of his performance - we are still receiving great feedback. BJ is a true professional to work with, and I couldn’t recommend him higher.
-Brad Lomenick, Director, Catalyst Conference
I wanted to take time to thank you for another wonderful performance for our student body. Both of your sets were very entertaining, and we have heard rave reviews from students who were there. Everyone had a great time, and they are already asking if we can book you for another show. The crowd (over 1,500 students strong) was extremely entertained and engaged during the whole performance. I am positive that when we bring you back, we will need to find a larger room to host the event! I was very happy with the whole procedure- from booking through load out you were great to work with. Thanks again, and I look forward to working with you in the future!
-Chris Misiano, Director of Campus Programming, Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA
BJ & Katie are great! I was watching so close, but I was blown away! Phenomenal job!
-John Maxwell, Internationally Recognized Leadership Expert, Speaker, & Author
BJ Harris is not only a tremendously talented and gifted illusionist, but he is also a joy to work with. If you spend a little time with him offstage, you realize quickly that his heart, passion and focus is sharing the Gospel of Jesus and telling people how they can have a personal relationship with Him.
-Billy Goodwin, NewSong, Grammy Nominated, Dove Award-Winning Music Group
We invited BJ to come to Catalyst this year and work with us on a few fun things on the stage. His big finish left all the guys in the band with their mouths open...but they weren't singing. They just didn't know how the heck he did what he did. The audience was mesmerized as well, but the band was right there beside him...amazing.
-Lanny Donoho, Director, Bigstuf Camps and Bigstuf Productions (Oh yeah...and he helps develop and host that Catalyst conference.)
I’ve seen BJ perform, and I not only admire his sheer talent, but I adore his commitment to Christ and his passion to bring absolute Truth to today’s generation. BJ is one of the most talented performers I’ve seen, yet his humble attitude allows God to truly minister through him to audiences of all ages.
I love the fact that he’s able to wow a university campus, a group of children, or a room full of adults and then transition into teaching his listeners about the dangers of being deceived. BJ is a master entertainer and an incredible teacher!
-Susie Shellenberger, Editor, Brio Magazine
BJ Harris has the amazing ability to cause you to question both your eyes as well as your heart. He is probably the most unique and awe-inspiring guest any church could have as part of their outreach event. Oh yes, and the "Box Trick", simply dumbfounding!
-Mark Graalman, Dove Award-Winning Band, Sanctus Real
I am a fan of anyone who can entertain and genuinely minister at the same time. That’s why I’m a fan of BJ Harris. I have seen him in various settings, large and small, and have been completely amazed by his talent. Most impressive, however, is his unique presentation of the Gospel. BJ’s uses magic as a vehicle to communicate his message in a way that is as unique and memorable as anything I have ever seen. He is a true talent and his style and presentation is universal. It’s hard to imagine a setting where it wouldn’t be both entertaining and impacting.
In a day and age where people have almost limitless choices for entertainment – I can honestly recommend BJ Harris as one of the best choices you could make. His message is eternal.
-Chaz Corzine, Manager for Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Frank Peretti and Others
I've seen a lot of people do a lot of things with what God has given them. BJ Harris simply shares the love of Jesus Christ with the gifts and talents that God has given him unlike anyone I have ever seen before. His courteous and professional manner has made him a pleasure to work with in every aspect of his ministry! Get him while you still can!
-Caz McCaslin, President/Founder, Upward Unlimited, Inc.
Illusion followed by revelation. The true beauty in BJ's show is found in the enlightenment of Truth. BJ and Katie use their gifts to illuminate the deception of this world, and lead people into the person of Truth, Jesus Christ. The show is mesmerizing and entertaining, while the message is clear and inspirational. As their pastor, I have watched BJ and Katie discovering Truth more deeply at every turn in their journey. They are contributing to the Kingdom of God in an incredible way.
-Jamie George, Pastor, Journey Ecclessia, Franklin, TN
The best part about BJ isn't necessarily his skill which is fantastic, to be sure. For me, it's how he seamlessly incorporates the Gospel into his show in a way that makes sense to our generation.

We have had BJ Harris recently lead and perform two different student outreach events for our student ministry. Both events were an incredible success because of BJ's talent, ministry heart, and incredible presentation. We saw many students connect with Christ and our ministry through these events. Simply, BJ and his presentations are one of the best things have seen and experienced in years.

As a ministry that doesn't have a "bait & switch" outreach philosophy, I appreciated BJ's approach. He is in tune with this generation and knows how to engage a teenage audience. I would recommend him to any youth ministry.
-Jeremy Whitehead, Lead Youth Pastor, The Peoples Church, Franklin, TN
I heartedly give B.J. Harris my highest recommendation. B.J. is very professional in his work, but is also personable as he communicates with his audience. From the very beginning of his presentation, he had the audience in the palm of his hand. He did a phenominal job!
-Eddie Baker, Temple Baptist Church, Hattiesburg, MS
BJ Harris was absolutely incredible at our JR/SR banquet! I was very impressed at how he connected with the audience. His illusions were excellent, causing all to wonder, 'how did he do that?' More importantly his message of being a strong Christian so that you would not be deceived was thought provoking. The entire show was first class and honoring to the Lord.

When BJ Harris came to our church, we laughed, marveled, worshiped, and received a Gospel presentation. BJ is an accomplished illusionist who loves the Lord and cares for the well-being of the local church.

I wish I could have tape recorded the many, many wonderful comments we have had since your presentation. Everyone loved the illusions, energy, spirit, and most importantly the message!
-Nancy A. Armstrong, St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church, Atlanta, GA
This is the second time we have had BJ Harris at an Upward Awards Night. Each time he has amazed the audience and presented one of the clearest gospel presentations I have heard! Our program had over 500 children participating and nearly 2400 people at our awards night. BJ held everyone's attention and put on a VERY professional show. We are still having people comment on what a great show it was. I would highly recommend BJ and his crew for any size program, and look forward to having him again in the near future!
-Brad Mattax, Avalon Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN
BJ presents an awesome event! He will amaze all ages with his talent and skills, and most importantly, the presentation of the gospel that he does will really make an impact on the unsaved.
-David Tripp, First Church of the Nazarene, Huntsville, AL
BJ presents the gospel in a way that even the hardest heart would stop and pay attention to. It causes you to really think about the gospel in a new way. It is fun, yet very visual, which really makes one listen to what you are saying. Great ministry!
-Ty Parker, East Chattanooga Church of God, Chattanooga, TN
BJ Harris is an excellent entertainer. His allusions are top-notch, and he kept everyone's attention throughout the entire program. BJ's presentation of the gospel was accurate and crystal clear.

BJ's devotion to God is evident in his ministry. God has truly gifted this young man with his ability to perform illusion and in how he presents the gospel of Jesus Christ. Everyone loved him!
-B.J. Brewer, First Baptist Church, McKinney, TX
When planning a special event at our church, we wanted to fill the entertainment portion of the program with someone who could relate to the children, as well as the adults. BJ Harris was perfect! His illusions mesmerized the audience as he performed trick after trick, all the while discussing Biblical truths. I'm looking forward to the day when he is famous and performs his magic, delivering a message of salvation, on stage in Las Vegas!
-Al Edwards, Columbia Presbyterian Church, Columbia, MD
