ABOUT ME
WHO IS CHRIS HOWAT?
My journey into magic did start like a lot of other magicians, I got the magic kit when I was a young kid but that’s where it ends!
My interest in magic started properly after seeing a close up magician in a restaurant of a famous DIY chain - he did a trick where two elastic bands passed through each other and my mind was blown, I don’t remember anything else he did but I knew I needed to know how it was done. This was around 2010 and I started my jump slowly down the rabbit hole.
It wasn’t until years later when one year my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I said “I don’t know some magic tricks?”
We went to a local magic shop and spent hours in there, we got shown lots of tricks and bought a lot as well. I was also given advice on where to go to and how to improve my magic.
After three months of practicing and learning at home I joined the Wessex Magical Association where I am now a council member.
PERFORMING
So I jumped down that rabbit hole and I never looked back
I spent all my spare time learning, practicing and reading whatever I could get my hands on.
And when I thought I was ready I went out and started to perform.
I love the jaw dropping moments, when something unexpected happens. I discribe it as a moment which takes us back to our childhood when magic was real, these are the moments I try to create whenever I perform.
I decided to specialise in wedding magic, having performed at quite a few weddings I love the atmosphere, everyone is happy and when a couple put their trust in me to entertain on their special day for their friends and family I feel privileged to be there and I ensure that everyone has an amazing time and add extra memories to the day.
THE HERE AND NOW
Towards the end of 2022 I was delighted to be accepted to one of the worlds premier magic clubs, The Magic Circle.
This year sees me hit 7 years of performing magic in March and I’ve loved every second of my journey.
The wedding emcee has become more popular and is a great way to entertain and have a stress free wedding as I take care of everything for you, and I love doing it. Performing magic and helping run your day and making announcements.
I can’t wait to meet all the lovely couples and entertain all their friends and family.
