On average, a professional children’s party magician costs $200-$250 an hour. The price can vary depending on your location, the size of the event, and the type of the magic show. A short show at a small party will often be cheaper than a more complex show at a larger event.

Performance length depends on the magician you’re looking to book and the type of performance requested. Generally, children’s party magicians provide a 20-60 minute show with one or two breaks in between to give kids time to release their wiggles.
