A person only retains a small percentage of what they hear, but if you will give them a visual illustration along with the lesson, the retention factor increases greatly. Add to the illustration a mystery, or surprise ending, and you lock in on their curiosity and they will remember what has been taught or said.

The change bag has always been one of Del Wilson’s favorite utility props. He bought his first one when I was twelve years old and has used it in many routines over the years. Several times in the past, people have asked him if he would ever write a book about 12 GOSPEL TRICKS WITH A CHANGE BAG. At first he thought he couldn’t see much purpose for a book about the change bag. But after observing that the change bag was primarily being used as a means to produce, vanish, or change the color of a silk handkerchief, and nothing more, he realized such a book may be in order. This book could help inspire people to see the many different ways a change bag may be used.

He believes that every Christian Worker that uses object lessons in their teaching should have a change bag in their possession. The routines in this book can also be used with a prop known as a “MAGIC TOTE BAG”, or even a paper change sack. In this book, Del explains how the change bag works and shows you how to make a paper change sack.

This book is written with the Christian Worker in mind, whether you are a pastor, teacher, lay person, Christian entertainer, or speaker.
