What moves the price
- Their experience — an established magician who is booked up has less reason to lower the fee.
- Type of performance — close-up magic at the tables and a stage show are priced as different jobs.
- Children's magic shows — a show built for children's parties is a different act from close-up magic for adults.
- Event's location — a magician travelling a long way builds the time on the road into the fee.
- Complexity of the magic acts — large stage illusions need props, setup time and sometimes an assistant.
- Any special requests for custom performances — a trick built around your company or a guest takes extra preparation.

How to pay less
- Close-up magic during the drinks reception can cost less than a full stage show with props and setup.
- Booking the magician for the busiest part of the event, such as arrivals or between courses, keeps the booking short.
- A weekday or daytime booking can cost less than a Saturday night, when magicians are most in demand.
- Choosing a magician based near the venue avoids paying for a long drive to and from the event.
- A standard routine rather than custom tricks built for your event keeps the magician's preparation and price down.
Before you book
- Details about the event, including date, time, and location.
- Information about the audience size and demographic to tailor the performance.
- Any specific themes or preferences you want the magician to incorporate.
- Access to the performance area and any necessary equipment or space for props.
- You can ask the magician about their performance training, and whether any tricks use fire or sharp props, so the performance area is safe.
Magician cost: questions people ask
The cost of hiring a magician can vary based on their experience, the type of performance (close-up, stage, children's shows), and the event's location. Additional factors include the duration of the performance and any special requirements or customisations requested.
Magic performances can vary in length, but most shows last between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the type of event and audience size. Close-up performances may be shorter, while stage shows often run longer with multiple acts.
While general magicians can perform a variety of tricks, hiring a specialist may be beneficial for themed events or specific types of magic, such as mentalism or children's shows. Specialists often bring unique skills and tailored performances that cater to the audience's interests.
Some magicians may offer emergency or same-day bookings, but availability can be limited. It's advisable to contact local magicians as early as possible to secure a performer for your event, especially during busy seasons.
Many entertainers, including magicians, can work alongside other performers, such as clowns, jugglers, or musicians. Booking several related services together can often lead to package deals and a more cohesive entertainment experience.
Magicians generally focus on entertainment through tricks and illusions and may not provide additional services like sound equipment or event planning. It's important to clarify any specific needs with the magician prior to the event to ensure all aspects are covered.
