Magic of Christopher Howell

Christopher Howell is a full-time professional magician based in the City of London and a member of The Magic Circle. He performs close-up magic and magic shows at weddings and private events, and his stage work has taken him to theatres, television and The Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Why he suits LGBTQ+ couples

Magic gives guests who do not know each other something to talk about, which helps when two families and friendship groups meet for the first time. Christopher can work close up among small groups or perform for the whole room, so his set can be shaped around the way your day runs rather than the other way round.

What he offers

• Close-up magic, performed among your guests
• Magic shows for the whole room
• Parlour-style magic before or after dinner
• Advice on where magic fits best in your day
• Online shows for guests who cannot travel

How he works

You start by getting in touch with your date, venue and an idea of numbers. Christopher will then talk through the options and suggest where his magic will work best, whether that is the drinks reception, the gap while the room is turned around, or a short show after the meal. On the day he moves between groups of guests, so everyone gets to see something up close.

Where he covers

Christopher is based in London and performs at venues across the capital, from grand hotels to Shoreditch spaces. He also takes bookings elsewhere in the UK and abroad.
