When Christian illusionists David and Kylie Knight want to quickly capture the attention of audiences, they have been known to make it snow inside venues or cause objects to disappear. But there is a method to their madness.
By using over-the-top object lessons, the husband-and-wife team entertains audiences in a variety of settings while sharing the gospel.
With a blend of humor, illusions and stunts to teach lessons, the Knights have become popular entertainers for sports award nights, children’s programs, youth events, retreats and church services.
As a team they have covered thousands of miles and helped churches and ministries all around the world reach their communities with the love of God.
Born and raised around Dallas, Texas, David has always been a performer. From his first role in a kindergarten play, David has continually found himself in front of a crowd. As a child, he would urge his cousins to perform in plays that he would write (and star in) for the family.
His early love was music. Concentrating on his vocal skills, he joined the Mesquite Boys Choir where he learned more about the skills of showmanship. He was also cast in a made-for-tv movie. But, he probably won’t tell you what it was.
It was during a 6th grade reading assignment that David felt the draw of the art of illusion after reading a biography on the famous magician and escape artist, Harry Houdini.
Throughout high school David honed his craft by performing in restaurants and at private parties around his hometown of Dallas, Texas. You would often find him at the local magic shop or hanging out with Dallas magic professionals like: past Society of American Magicians president Dal Sanders, world-wide performer and consultant Rick Walker or creator and TV personality Bizzaro.
While attending college, David was offered a position with world-renowned Christian illusionist, Andre Kole. He spent 3 years under Andre’s tutelage where he learned some of the finer skills of the art of illusion.
Kylie was born and raised in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Even at a young age, this southern girl enjoyed the stage. She participated in the school productions and was even briefly part of the Victorian Children’s Choir.
At the age of 20, with a nudge from God, she bravely decided to get on a plane and travel to the other side of the world on her own in hopes of traveling.
Kylie’s talent isn’t limited to the stage and spotlight; in Australia, Kylie was a dental assistant. She considers this her “crown”-ing achievement.
As a partner in the show, Kylie is much more than just an assistant. It is because of her tireless work and attention that the show is able to go on. Her time onstage does not reflect the copious amount of work that she does behind the scenes.
From load in to load out, Kylie handles and coordinates the set up and flow for the show. If that weren’t enough, she also has to keep David in line – that can be a full-time job in itself!
