Professor Poppy has a unique way of entertaining children. Imagine sharing the Gospel message through a new ministry experience at your church. Let’s do it together!
Using sleight-of-hand techniques may be a way to grab their attention, but only Jesus can change their hearts. The professor and his helpers will always keep that truth in perspective.
What People are Saying About the Professor
Professor Poppy was very fun to watch and interact with. He shared the importance of following Jesus in a winsome way as he performed numerous sleight-of-hand tricks. There were several tricks I couldn’t figure out and I was sitting up close! I highly recommend Professor Poppy!
Professor Poppy has been a special guest for our children’s ministry on multiple occasions. The kids love his shows and are captivated throughout! Not only are the illusions entertaining for the children, but they also clearly illustrate the gospel message which points them to Christ. I certainly recommend Professor Poppy for your special event!

I have known Brent for many years and I know he has a heart for children and youth. I have personally worked with him in church events and street evangelism. You can trust him to be God honoring. Along with those comments, I can say he is very good at his craft! I am still amazed by some of the tricks he does and it is certain the children will be too.
