André Kole
André Kole is an American magician and inventor of magical effects. He is also a committed christian and is a public speaker for the evangelical group Campus Crusade for Christ International.[1]
Kole is widely credited with devising the Table of Death escape trick, the Squeeze Box illusion (licensed to builder by John Gaughan), and the Head Mover illusion (as performed by David Copperfield, Tim Kole and Kirby Van Birch).[2]
He also uses his magical knowledge and skills to debunk frauds and hoaxes. He was reported in 2003 as offering US$1million to the Rev. Dr. Donald Stewart if Stewart could prove a statement made in the Jamaican newspaper the Jamaica Gleaner that Satan gives supernatural powers.[3]
