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.

How long have you been interested in magic?

I became interested in magic from a very young age. I remember watching the Paul Daniel's magic show on Saturday nights and was hooked! I put on my first magic show for my family at the age of 6 much to their delight!

Take us through your show – what can we expect?

My magic is very similar to popular magicians such as Dynamo and David Blaine. I specialise in close-up impromptu style magic utilising anything from playing cards to jewellery (or money!).

I think creating the wow factor is really important for clients/guests so I focus on highly visual magic that always gets a great reaction. Often at big events and weddings people can be slightly distracted so I think it's important to start with a trick that gets a great reaction from the outset to engage the audience.

I also think there is an art to performing magic. A lot of performers focus on comedy too much and it can sometimes come across a bit forced. I really think I have the right balance whether I am performing at a corporate function or at a wedding - being able to tailor your performance is really important.

What do you love most about your job?

Performing magic is great because you get to meet lots of different people and visit some wonderful venues. I'm definitely a 'people person' so this is ideal for me. I also love designing new tricks and watching peoples reactions.

What inspired you to start your own business?

I have been performing magic for over 15 years now and my first professional booking was when I was 16. The real inspiration for me was watching David Blaine when he first appeared on TV performing his 'street magic' series. I thought it was incredible especially the reactions from everyone as he made the impossible, possible, and made it look so natural.

Why should our clients choose you?

Over the past 15 years I have had the pleasure of performing for some really great companies and people. Throughout this time I have been able to really hone the magic I perform to suit a host of different scenarios from corporate events, weddings to birthday parties. Given my special focus on highly visual 'street style' magic I think what I offer works incredibly well. I hope I have the pleasure to perform for you!

We hired Steve for my wife's 50th birthday garden party in May and he was fantastic. From the initial communication and call he was friendly and helpful. On the day he moved around the our 40-50 guests polite, friendly and funny offering to share some magic - and everyone enjoyed it - some genuinely great close up magic and slight of hand, and it really helped get people talking and created a real buzz. I would definitely recommend Steve. Thanks!
