Neil Patrick Harris in a still from American Horror Story: Freak Show

Los Angeles: Former How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris shows his magic trick in new photos from American Horror Story: Freak Show.

Donning a top hat and a red jacket, the 41-year-old actor playing Chester shows his saw, a tool used in his performance, in one picture. He looks serious in another image as he's cutting a box which possibly contains a person, reported Ace Showbiz.

Chester, described as a "chameleon salesman", is a magician who is set to take over the freak show when Elsa leaves for Hollywood.

He appears to have romantic feelings for Bette and Dot and asks them to join him onstage during his performance to distract the audience, prompting Dandy to get a bit jealous.

Neil will appear in episodes 11 and 12 of Freak Show, and his partner David Burtka will be featured in the season finale.

David will have a sexy storyline with Jessica Lange's character Elsa Mars.
