Even though Ken learned a lot about illusions, he never performed for anyone until he was twenty-two years old for a Sunday School party. After this performance, he realized the huge ministry possibilities available through this venue.

In addition to his skills as an illusionist, Ken has been singing and acting since the age of five on stage and screen.
