Viewers tuned in to see Illusionist Brock Gill featured on the Discovery Channel’s the Miracles of Jesus TV special that aired Christmas Eve.

For centuries critics have claimed that Jesus’ miracles never happened or that they were purely illusions. As the lead investigator for the Miracles of Jesus, Brock presents an objective look at the miracles Jesus performed and investigates whether they were illusions or reality. His journey took him throughout the Middle East and Holy Lands, as he ventures to find out: Can ancient miracles be re-created using 21st century technology?

Part of the program was shot on location in Malta at the Mediterranean Film Studios, sharing the space with Steven Spielberg as they worked on Munich. The main actor who played Jesus in the Miracles of Jesus was George Calil, who may be best known for his role in Band of Brothers.

The show also received high marks from a prominent group of leaders, including international evangelist Luis Palau, author Mark Mittelberg, pastor Harry Reeder and apologist Craig Branch. LifeWay Church Resources also encouraged more than 13,000 affiliated student leaders to tune in to and promote the special.
