Christian Magician & All Age Communicator - Mark HarringtonMark's magic in the Falkland Islands
Mark Harrington is a trained primary school teacher, who has previously been a children’s and schools worker for a range of church denominations. From September 2019 he will be working for the Diocese of Hereford’s Board of Education supporting church schools.
He is based in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, and is willing to travel to perform his gospel magic shows across the Midlands region, including Staffordshire, Shropshire, Worcester, Tamworth, Dudley and Birmingham.
Mark is often seen performing his gospel magic act as part of Bishop’s Mission weekends throughout the Lichfield Diocese.
He has a been involved in a broad range of ministries: running children’s clubs and services, Messy Church, holiday clubs, school assemblies, training events, youth events and family services. Mark has led children’s workshops and kids programmes for various conferences, including the Family (All Age) Celebrations at Spring Harvest.
At the age of eight, Mark received his first magic kit from his grandparents, and soon was practicing to be the next Paul Daniels. It was not long before he discovered that he could use his sleight-of-hand skills to do more than just entertain. He started to use his skills to bring God’s word to life for all ages. Since then, Mark has used his skills in many different churches and countries.
When he was eight, he also became a Christian. Mark grew up in a local ecumenical project church, so he is used to a wide variety of church traditions and denominations. His parents gave him a tract based on the wordless book, also known as the colours of salvation. This explained the gospel in such a clear way that he said the prayer at the end.
Since then, Mark has developed in his faith and his ministry. He was heavily involved in his school and university Christian Unions. As well as training with YWAM, Mark studied The Theology & Practice of Youth and Children’s Work at Chichester with Irene Smale.
Mark worships with his wife at St Jude’s Church in Wolverhampton, where he also lives with his performing goldfish called George, a pet hedgehog and cheeky cat.
