We had a birthday party for my six year old and Terrence was the main event. He had our small group little people rolling in laughter and disbelief - it was too fun. I would highly recommend Terrence.

Fantastic!
Total-T was wonderful! We hired him for my son's 2nd birthday party. My son typically takes a while to warm up, but he was engaged from the moment the show started and participated from the start. I was so happy to see him and his friends and cousins all so into it. He held the attention of the group so well, even the parents! We would definitely hire him again if we have another occasion for a magic show. He was truly magical! :)

The cost of hiring a magician in Chicago, Illinois will vary depending on the size of the event, the performance length, the type of show, and the performer’s skill level. Professional magicians with years of experience will often charge more than those just starting out. And full-stage magic shows with complex illusions may be pricier than strolling magicians who perform close-up magic. Contact local magicians to get a quote customized for your event.
While browsing profiles for Chicago magicians, be sure to look at photos and watch videos to learn more about their skills and magic style. Many magicians specialize in different areas like sleight of hand, illusions, or comedy magic. Some might focus on family-friendly audiences while others are better for adults.
