Growing up Mike had some challenges with reading and hyperactivity. When he came to know Christ as his Savior, he desired to teach others about Christ in a way they would understand. It is this desire that led Mike to develop the multi-sensory approach utilizing theatrical illusion to evangelize the lost and, exhort the believer to holy living. Believing that "whatever is done in word or deed is to be done to the glory of God", Mike and the family strive to continue growing in their skill and relationship with God.

Mike and Karen have been married for over twenty-five years, and have five children who participate in this ministry with them.
