How much does it cost to hire a Close-up Magician?

if you want to hire an experienced Close-up Magician to perform magic at a private party or dinner, expect to pay between £500 to £1500. Different Magicians can charge more or less than this depending on if they are starting out or if you are hiring a celebrity Magician!

This price range typically covers a 2-3 hour performance. Factors that can affect the final cost include:

• Experience level: Beginners might charge £300-500, while established professionals with years of experience command £800-1500
• Event type: Corporate events generally cost more than private parties
• Travel distance: Many magicians charge additional fees for events outside their local area
• Day of the week: Weekend performances, especially Saturday evenings, often cost more than weekday bookings
• Length of performance: Most quotes cover a standard time period (typically 2-3 hours), with additional fees for longer performances
• Time of year: Holiday seasons (Christmas, New Year’s Eve) typically have premium rates

For celebrity magicians who have appeared on television shows or have significant public recognition, prices can range from £2,000 to £10,000+ depending on their fame level.

Also, expect to pay a smaller premium for a London Magician as most Magicians will need to travel into London and can command a higher fee for performing at higher calibre events.

Most professional magicians require a deposit to secure your booking date, typically 25-50% of the total fee.
