Where do you need a Magician?
FAQ about hiring a Magician
On average, professional magicians cost $300-$400 for a 1-hour show. This price may vary depending on your location, travel distance, skill level, and the type of magic you want to be performed. More elaborate stage shows with complex illusions will often cost more than strolling performances or simpler tricks for children’s parties. When contacting local magicians, provide as many details about your event and preferences as possible to receive the most accurate quote.
Magicians are most commonly booked for 1-hour performances. However, this can vary depending on the specific type of magic you request. A children’s party magician will likely perform shorter sets for the shorter attention spans. Whereas a strolling magician might mingle through your crowds performing close-up magic tricks for a couple of hours. If you do book a magician or illusionist for longer than an hour, be sure to allow them adequate time for breaks.
The type of magic entertainment performed depends on the magician you’re looking to hire. Stage shows are often most common, with props, complex illusions, and even audience participation. Other magicians might specialize in sleight-of-hand tricks that are more suited for small events or strolling among guests. Some can even take their magic online for virtual events. Many magicians can do all types of magic, so discuss your vision with them and see what they can make happen!
Your magician will likely bring everything they need for their show, but it’s up to you to provide them the space to do so. Discuss their needs in advance to make sure you can accommodate them. If they are performing a stage show that will require mics, check your venue setup to see how that will work and relay the information to your magician. They will likely bring their own hands-free mic and maybe even speakers but will need access to an electricity source.
From comedy shows to strolling magic to close-up magicians, there's sure to be a magic act that's suitable for any type of event. It's common to book magicians for birthday parties, corporate events, trade shows, private events, school assemblies, and more.
