Robert Is our exclusive Magician at Cigar Cigar and one or the top performers in the industry

Rich Tisch, owner, Cigar Cigar

Mr. Berry performed for a capacity crowd of approximately 150 Willis High School seniors on June 6 at Incredible Pizza Co. His high energy show was an "eye opener" and a mind expander for these graduates, many of whom have never left the City of Willis before. Seeing is believing and the graduates learned that they can see things that the mind does not fully understand and that they can continue learning after commencement. As Mr. Berry stressed near the show's conclusion, the mind is limited only by one's consciousness. Adult chaperones, constable deputies and IPC employees watched in amazement as students were hypnotized one after another by Mr. Berry. We saw an extremely shy senior spring into action every time that the "Cotton Eyed Joe" was played, dancing with abandonment and much flailing of arms. Another shy senior, convinced that she was a superstar, took random bows each time the audience applauded. At one point, some 20 graduates became part of an orchestra and began playing instruments. Doubters became believers by the end of Mr. Berry's performance.

The Methodist times

Magician uses illusion skills for a higher calling

Magician Robert Berry performs in the Methodist tent at the JDF Walk for the Cure.

   Robert Divine not only believes anything is possible through God, but also actually demonstrates it. Just watch his hands: suddenly one billiard ball turns into eight. And candlesticks appear seemingly out of thin air, while a bowl of water vanishes just as quickly. Then he suddenly begins pulling ropes right through the center of his body.

      "Using magic in spiritual teaching really keeps the kids' attention," he explains. "They listen and watch everything we do in our two hour stage show. I enjoy watching this happen with them while I perform. It's a wonderful connection."

     it was a slight-of-hand card trick by a co-worker a few years ago   that got Robert interested in magic to begin with. "I was captivated by the card trick, what can I say?" he laughs. "I even incorporated the card trick into my act and still do it."

    His hobby soon exploded into a full-blown company, Divine Magic, which features two magicians, three assistants, a props engineer and a computer and marketing expert. Call them at (713) 779-8203 or check out the website at http//www.Divine-Magic.com.

    "Divine Magic pretty much consumes all of my weekends and my paychecks," admits Robert, who says his library of magic books and videos has overtaken his apartment and has been an investment running into the thousands of dollars.

    He donates many of his church performances to help with a fundraising effort, but often the church will give him a financial "love offering" for his work. Other clients, however, do pay him for his performances.

    "I rehearse three to four hours a night," says Robert. "I'm self-taught, as are most magicians, because there's an important aspect of secrecy with performing magic. Magicians are even competitive with other magicians."

    And Robert has created his own version of well-known tricks, such as the "Burning Head," during which an assistant's head will be set on fire and finish as a skull.

    Which sparks the, ah, burning question: Does he tire of constantly breaking in new assistants?

   "A lot of former girlfriends have loaned their heads to that trick, that's all I can tell you," he jokes. And Robert, himself, is no stranger to the danger of flames in a trick.

    "Once during a performance for kids at a church, my hands caught on fire while I was doing a candlestick trick," he painfully recounts. "The kids thought my burning hands were part of the trick (they’d probably already seen the burning skull, after all), so I pretended it was and began waving my hands dramatically in the air before putting them out. That was painful. Of course, the next time I performed there, the kids requested that I do 'the burning hands trick' again. At least they couldn't tell."

   But what Robert wants his audiences to be able to tell is how, through God, there is magic in every little thing in life.

   "So many people are trapped in their mundane routine of getting up, going to work all day, coming home and parking in front of the boob tube until bed," he explains. "I want to show people that God makes all things amazing, that's why I perform - for that reason, and because I'm the ham among all hams."

    Robert keeps very busy lately, but not too busy to perform his magic act at a recent Rehab Unit party for patients and staff on Main 5 and at the Methodist tent at the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation's Walk for the Cure.
