BURNLEY-born international Christian evangelist Keith Wills conjured up a 'magical' sermon at a village chapel.

Keith, who was brought up in Burnley, was guest speaker at Mount Zion Church, Cliviger.

The congregation enjoyed some 'magic moments' with Keith, who is a full-time Christian worker based in Bury and has just written a book about the use of magic in Christian outreach work entitled 'Now You See It.'

"I communicate the Christian message to people who wouldn't normally hear it by using all sorts of methods, including conjuring," he explained.

"The message was that people are looking for happiness in the wrong places when Jesus is the way to happiness."
