Christopher Howell is the creator and presenter of Project Illusions. His work defies categorization, as he traverses borders of being a management and diversity consultant, magician, motivational speaker, and life coach.

Originally from Michigan, he has been based in London, UK since 1994. Christopher is a certified life coach (Newcastle College), a member of the Professional Speakers Association and the Magic Circle, the world’s most prestigious international society for the magical arts. He holds a BA (hons, double major) in Studio Arts and Theatre Arts. After his BA he pursued training as an opera singer both in Italy at the Accademia Filarmonica in Bologna and privately in London.

After thorough exploration of the lyrical theatre path, Howell's journey in performance art came full circle back to his lifelong passion since the age of seven: magic. However this time, his magic started taking a completely new form. Equipped with his diverse backpack of creative training in various fields, he launched Project Illusions.

The Project combines Howell's twin passions for the art of magic and expressing ideas in creative, high-impact ways. His work in Project Illusions combines his varied background with his exploration in the potential of proactive cognition and creative learning.
