A Magician’s Wand
Probably one of the most important thinks in the tool kit for a magician is their magical wand. When you think of all occupations that people work at there are things that can easily identify them just by looking at the tools or props they use. For example, if you think of a mason you would think of brinks, if they are a construction worker then you would think of a hammer, a mechanic would have a tool box.
Does it mean that it actually performs magic? No, but, it does assist in providing the illusion that the magician has the power along with the words to make something happen on that moment that the wand strikes. It is also considered a part of their costume along with the cape and top hat. Any one just starting out in the field will normally have these items.
What is surprising is that there are many different kinds of wands, for example, wood, metal, and plastic. There are also many different styles that can be purchased. There is the normal black with white tips, or black with gold tips, or even colored wands depending on what show or in what capacity they are being used.
When a magician uses his wand it allows him to have the audience focus on his hands or the movement of the wand. This allows their hands to complete the trick or illusion that is being performed. There are times where the wand itself is the trick and the magician may use this to get a laugh from the audience. Some younger magicians feel it gives them the confidence needed to perform in front of a crowd.
As props the magicians standard wand is not expensive to purchase and there are several websites that offer them for sale. They can easily be purchased in a costume shop too. Of course, the more special you make the wand the more it will cost you, but, that is when you are getting into custom made items.
Every magician started out with a wand, if we asked them I am sure they, meaning Vitelli, Blaine or Copperfield, would tell you what their wand look like and what it was made of and what it was or is used for in their shows. I wonder what type Houdini used.

Ft. Collins PrestoDigitators
On Saturday, June 21, 1980, a small group of magicians met in the Forum Room at the Square in Fort Collins, Colorado, to discuss the possibility of organizing a local magic club. Several of the magicians present were members of the I.B.M. International Brotherhood of Magicians. Read more about them on their website.

My Guarantee and Price Match
My kids magic birthday magic show 100% guaranteed and I’ll pay you if I miss it.* Simple as that. In 30 years of performing, I have never had to live up to refunding or paying someone for a show.

- I have a criminal background check performed every year as a youth sports coach for the YMCA, City of Lakewood and Green Mountain Youth Basketball and Baseball!

London Children’s Magician Christopher Howell
Christopher Howell’s children’s magician act is something special on the menu of children’s party entertainment options in London for children ages 4-7, available for booking in your home or party venue. Children’s magicians are often known for their rude jokes and encouraging children to go crazy as they bounce off the walls of your home; instead (perhaps by magic) this show keeps kids totally captivated and entertained by engaging their vibrant imaginations.
Kids Magician and Magic Master, Chad Wonder
I’m master magician Chad Wonder and my stunning kids magic shows have made childrens magic birthdays fun and magical in the Denver area for over 25 years. I am also honored to be the resident magician at historic Heritage Square Kids Amusement Park in Golden Colorado where I perform during the summer season.
As a family and kids magician, I perform a number of different magic shows. Although I concentrate on kids birthday parties in and around the Denver metro area, I also perform for schools, daycare centers, scouting events and senior care facilities from Lakewood to Littleton and Aurora to Broomfield all across the metro area Parker, Centennial, Westminster, and Boulder
With thousands of kids magic shows performed, and countless magic events on my resume, I have the experience necessary to make 
any kids birthday party or event a truly special day.
I am a past local president (2006) of the Society of American Magicians and the International Brotherhood of Magicians. I have also served as the Vice President (2005) Secretary (2010) and am currently serving as Vice President for 2011.
I owned and operated The Magic Shop in Colorado Mills Mall up until 2007 when it made more sense to devote 100% of my time to performing.
I have been involved in children’s and kids entertainment since the age of ten when I was cast as a founding player in the Colorado Children’s Theater Ensemble. During high school I started a successful kids/children’s theater group performing over 250 day care center shows a year. My professional career started when I performed my first paying show at age sixteen.
On a personal level, I have been married for over 20 years to my high school sweetheart and we have two boys, 9 and 14. My oldest was recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and we are learning to live with a life long disease. He loves video games and science. My youngest is a sport fanatic, most recently playing lacrosse, which is a pretty cool game I must admit. My wife is very private.

“I have to admit, I was a little worried it would be too young, too cheesy, or not worth it. But you were totally worth it, and you handled the middle school spazz pretty well. Thanks, it was great”
Julia, Denver, CO
“What a great show, we’ll have you back for our youngest party in a couple years.”
Michelle, Highlands Ranch, CO
“All the kids loved the show. They had a lot of fun with the magic sets after you left. Thanks for making may boys party the hit of the school year.”
Stacy, Lakewood, CO
“I was so pleased to have the entire 6th grade audience captivated for a whole hour! Having Chad Darnell as the featured magician was awesome and he was great! He was able to relate to the kids well and the magic was wonderful. After the show the kids still couldn’t figure out how he did the tricks! From the moment I talked to him on the phone to the time he did the show, Mr. Darnell was courteous, prompt, and organized. I couldn’t have asked for a better Valentine’s Day entertainer! Thank you very much!”
Traci J. and the entire Hutchinson 6th grade staff and classrooms! 
“What a great end to our school year. The 6th graders could not have had a better end of year party. Maybe we can do it again next year?”
Elementary School PTA
“Our holiday party was a lot of fun thanks in part to your magic and your roast of our employees. Thanks you”
National Fitness Franchise
“Chad was the entertainment at my daughter’s 7th birthday party, and he could be a stand-up comic in addition to the amazing magic skills. All the kids were thrilled – he is really terrific with children. He also had the adults laughing almost to tears. He set up a large stage backdrop that made it feel like a really official show, and afterwards, sat the kids down and taught them how to do magic tricks with the kits he provided for them to take home. I got so many positive comments – both fomr parents who were there and from ones who were amazed at their kids doing tricks and raving about the magic show. Definitely our best birthday move yet. Thanks, Chad!”

Kids Magic Birthday Party Show
Kids magic and family friendly entertainment is my specialty. My discounted shows range from $200.00 to more than 
$300.00 depending upon the day and what you might add-on.
When I was selected as Nickelodeons Entertainer of the Year, it was a truly humbling recognition of my 30 years as a childrens magician and entertainer. My selection of interactive and premium kids magic and family friendly magic include kids birthday parties, school shows, scout shows and corporate and company celebrations.
1. Full Length Kids Magic Show at your home or for your event is my most popular. Over 45 minutes of premium stunning childrens magic. Colorful scarfs appear from nowhere, a pretend wolf runs and can’t be found, an impossible game with giant crayons and the grand finale, where the birthday child can be sawed in half with the “Saw of Danger” or a real rabbit appears. All this and much more! The birthday child is always the star of the show and helps the magician Chad Wonder with most of the tricks. Plenty of great “Kodak moments” Music, big magic props, huge stage backdrop and more. I keep the kids involved!
2. Condensed Half Hour Kids Magic Show in your home: Almost 30 minutes of great magic at an slightly lower price. Good if your on a time budget. Substantially similar to the Full Length Show but featuring about 75% of the magic. Of course the birthday child is always the the star of the show and helps the magician with many of the magic tricks.

3. Magic Show, clown and carnival Have the ultimate party. Ideal for those turning 4, 5, 6 and maybe 7.
