Author W. J. Demus Webb’s New Audiobook, “Legends of Snyder,” is the Thrilling Story of a Historic Magician Who Entertained Diverse Audiences and Inquisitive Minds
Atlanta, GA, December 30, 2022 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– W. J. Demus Webb, a loving husband and father who founded and worked as a pastor for the Foundation Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, has completed his new audiobook, “Legends of Snyder: A Black Heroic Magician: Black Magic in the Segregated South”: a powerful story that explores the life and times of a legendary traveling black magician.
“Imagine that you are immersed in a rich culture of Black pride, Black beauty, Black hope, and Black excellence,” writes Webb. “Immersed in such a rich culture, it is no wonder that a Black heroic magician, such as Snyder, would emerge. This was a culture that instilled hope and faith in God that made all things seem possible. So when Snyder the magician visited your school, this was consistent with your hope, your faith that all things are possible for those who believe in God. It was an empowering culture with survival values in a hostile world.
“Considering the large number of Black American heroes that emerged in the early nineteenth century was consistent with this atmosphere of ‘Black Magic.’ Consider Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, George Washington Carver, Joe Louis, Paul Roberson, Jesse Owens, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and the Tuskegee Airmen. Consider Harriet Tubman, Mary McLeod Bethune, Lena Horn, Mahalia Jackson, and a host of others who created this rich culture and atmosphere of magic, hope, and high expectations and accomplishments.
“Considering this rich, creative, and hopeful magic like atmosphere and culture, the Black heroic Magician Snyder emerged as an embodiment of the fertile pristine Black American culture existing at Tuskegee, Notasulga, Macon County, and other areas in Alabama at this time in history. Yes, Snyder was a unique individual Black man. However, as we read the ‘Legends of Snyder: A Heroic Black Magician,’ let us be reminded that there was something in the quality and spirit of this East Alabama culture that produced many other unique individuals that are not necessarily recorded in the history books.”
Published by Audiobook Network, author W. J. Demus Webb’s new audiobook shares the incredible story of Snyder, and the ways in which his life exemplifies the many possibilities one’s life can hold despite the backdrop of oppression. Listeners will discover a legendary and historical man shrouded in mystery brought to life through Webb’s expertly paced and character-driven tale.

Miami, FL, November 10, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– The production team behind Hidden War has unveiled the official trailer for the film, setting the stage for its nationwide theatrical debut on November 14, 2025.
Hidden War, featuring activist Tim Ballard’s efforts against international child trafficking, serves as a direct follow-up to the 2023 film Sound of Freedom, which highlighted his initial undercover operations through Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.). While Sound of Freedom focused on Ballard’s work in Colombia and the broader fight against sex trafficking, Hidden War extends this narrative to operations in war-torn regions like Ukraine, Ecuador, and Mexico, documenting rescues amid global conflicts and exposing how displaced children become targets for exploitation.
The film’s release on November 14, 2025, comes amid reports of resistance from some cinema chains, echoing the grassroots momentum that propelled Sound of Freedom to over $250 million in worldwide box office success despite initial distribution challenges. Ballard, portrayed by Jim Caviezel in the earlier film, continues his advocacy, emphasizing the ongoing scale of the issue where more children are enslaved today than at any point in history.
Tim Ballard noted, “Films like Hidden War build on the awareness raised by Sound of Freedom to challenge institutional silence on child exploitation. Our goal remains delivering these stories to foster real change in communities affected by trafficking.”
To support wider access, audiences are encouraged to contact their local cinemas and request screenings of Hidden War for the November 14 debut.

Los Angeles, CA, October 31, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Independent filmmaker, producer, and creative visionary Jeffrey Ikahn today announced the upcoming release of his new feature film Candy Flip (2026), alongside several technology ventures designed to reshape how audiences and creators connect online. Ikahn’s dual focus on storytelling and innovation positions him at the intersection of film, social engagement, and the evolving digital frontier.
Candy Flip is a “dramady” feature produced through Argonaut Media Group, Latigo Films in association with Handshake Partners Entertainment and directed by Ikahn.
The film stars Matt Rife, Cole Carter, Jessica Belkin, and Danielle Loving.
Set amid the electric chaos of an exclusive influencer party in Los Angeles, Candy Flip follows a night where fame, illusion, and reality collide. When a group of social media stars and creative elites experiment with a candy-flip — the potent fusion of LSD and MDMA — their euphoric escape turns into an existential free fall. As the night unfolds, filters fade and facades fracture. Beneath the glitter and neon, each character confronts the truth they’ve been performing to avoid: their doubt, loneliness, and desperate need to be seen.
The main character’s trip becomes a descent into self-awareness — a fever dream of memories, fears, and fantasies colliding in hallucinatory clarity. Surrounded by peers who live for attention but starve for connection, they begin to question what’s real, what’s curated, and what remains when the likes disappear. In the chaos of their shared unraveling, egos dissolve, alliances crumble, and a profound realization emerges: sometimes, you have to lose your identity to find your humanity.
“Storytelling has always been about connection,” said Ikahn. “As technology evolves, so should the ways we share those stories — whether through film, social platforms, or entirely new mediums.”
In addition to his filmmaking career, Ikahn is currently building technology companies in the social and media space, developing platforms that empower independent artists, creators, and filmmakers to grow authentic audiences and monetize their creative influence. His work integrates art, entrepreneurship, and innovation — shaping how culture, content, and connection intersect.
Ikahn’s mission with Argonaut Media Group and his upcoming ventures is to bridge the worlds of entertainment and technology — empowering creators to tell impactful stories and audiences to experience them in transformative new ways.
