Choosing the right Magician

How much is a Magician?

So, how much does a magician cost for a birthday party? Do they charge more for certain events? A magician isn’t an everyday service so it can be hard to know what costs to expect.

There is no standard price and it can vary hugely depending on the skills, availability, and location of the magician in question.

Types of Magician

  • Sleight of hand - These sorts of magicians rely a lot on card tricks and the sort of magic tricks you would expect in a small party environment rather than on a big scale with a stage and lots of props.
  • Illusionists - Think of the sort of shows that leave you wondering “how did they do that?”. “Sawing” an assistant in half is an example of an illusion. They often have big stage setups.
  • Children’s Magician - Nothing too heavy. These are the sort of magicians that are fantastic for children’s parties, they tend to have a good rapport with children and plenty of fun and light-hearted tricks. The adults might work out the tricks, but most children will be spellbound.
  • Comedy Magician - Half stand-up comedian, half magician, these are a great choice for getting the guests at a party or wedding involved and having a laugh while being wowed!

How do I check the Magician’s credentials?

Magicians come from a variety of backgrounds, so it can be hard to check their credentials. However, there are a number of different performance guilds as well as prestigious membership clubs such as The Magic Circle. A true magic specialist will probably have a membership to these sorts of organisations so keep an eye out for those who advertise that they are part of a magician’s guild.

In the modern age, you can check a lot about the magician before you employ their services. For example, you can check if they have a YouTube page where you might even be able to watch their magic show and see them in action. Online reviews and testimonials are also a very good way to check that other customers vouch for their skills.

Defying Logic

I am a Magician and I specialise in Mentalism/Mind Reading for adults. Five words are usually spoken from an audience after my effects - How did he do that? My intention is to entertain, wonder, amaze and bring fun and laughter to compliment your special occasion so guests will remember it for a long time afterwards.

How long have you been interested in magic?

I have been interested in magic for many years initially after my father showed me a very simple card trick at an early age. Raising a family temporarily suspended my interest but once they had flown the nest, my passion rekindled itself about 6 years ago and I started to read about the history of magic, famous magicians and then discovering the different types of magic - card and coin magic, illusions but then developed Mind Magic or Mentalism which is the possible ability to read someone's mind or influence their way of thinking.

Take us through your show – what can we expect?

A typical show would after an initial introduction about myself, introduce Mentalism - the ability to read or influence peoples minds. I would mention the five senses we all have but could there be a sixth sense - the Mind? This would be demonstration in a fun way for all the audience to enjoy - telling the Mind to do something but the outcome is the opposite! I would then begin some Mind Reading effects to individuals and also audience participation. My intention is to entertain, wonder and have some fun!

What do you love most about your job?

I love to entertain a variety of audiences which can be different for any occasion, whether it was a small gathering or a private event or an office party or entertaining wedding guests after the wedding breakfast or welcoming evening guests to the reception. All would receive the same care of duty and responsibility.

What inspired you to start your own business?

From an initial interest in Magic then Mentalism I wanted to express my passion in the art of Mind Reading to all types of audiences and at the same time to entertain for that very special occasion.

Why should our clients choose you?

Firstly by choosing me you will the assurance of knowing I will deliver in all aspects. I will arrive punctually and be courteous to you and your guests, act professionally and complement your occasion. You are the main attraction of the event and my presence of introducing Mentalism/Mind Reading is to support you, entertain your guests and to ensure your event will be remember long after the occasion.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?

I can perform if preferred taking into consideration social distancing but many of my effects do require individuals or audience participation. If this was an issue to you then I can wear a face mask and the effects could be performed from a distance. Personally I have received all the available vaccinations and boosters relating to Covid-19.

We asked Steve to perform his magic at a small dinner party to celebrate a milestone birthday. Steve was extremely easy to deal with prior to the event, always responding very promptly and presenting a one-page, easy to understand ‘contract’. He was flexible with the timings on the night and his ‘show’ engaged all of our guests. He was charming, entertaining and good fun. If you are looking for a magician we would have no hesitation in recommending Steve.

I hired Kris to perform at my birthday party to help break the ice as I had lots of people coming that did not know each other. He was fantastic at approaching people and getting the whole room involved with his magic. His friendly demeanour really helped put people at ease and helped to create a brilliant party atmosphere. He was great at interacting with adults and children and it was a pleasure to watch the amazement on the children's faces when Kris was performing. He really made the party a night to remember.
