Never hired a Magician before?

A lot of people have never booked a magician before and are very worried about the whole process. It is not something you do every day, but for anyone calling me and asking the same question, this is the advice I always give them.

Firstly, what is the event you are planning? There is a big difference between a house party for 30 of your friends and your wedding for example. If you wanted a bit of magic at your house party in London you might consider having a friend come around who knows a few tricks and pay them a little bit, if one of the tricks does not work out, it’s not the end of the world. You would maybe not consider spending £500 on a Magician for your house party.

Wedding / Christmas Party or a House Party?

However, if it’s your wedding or your work Christmas Party and you have been tasked with hiring the entertainment, you don’t just want a friend to do it, you want to hire a professional who has performed at 100’s of these events and can handle all situations and perform some amazing magic.

Secondly, once you have established the type of event and how important it is, you need the date and how many guests you are expecting.

As an example for a Wedding in London on a Saturday for 200 guests, one Magician is either going to have to perform for 4-5 hours to ensure everyone gets to see some magic. Or you can hire a second Magician, or depending on what other entertainment you have one Magician might be enough as it’s just a part of your wedding entertainment.

This will be the most expensive time to hire a Magician as Saturdays are typically when everyone has their wedding or party.

Corporate events tend to be any day of the week, so are a lot easier to book.

What are you like?

So, now you have all that information you need to choose a Magician, if anyone contacts me I don’t automatically say you have to book me, I would first direct them to my showreel (a lot of people have usually watched that before they call me so this part is redundant) but I would ask them if they had watched my videos and get the idea of the type of magic I perform and more importantly my personality.

Some people have already met me at a previous event in London so they just say “we want to book you for our party next year”

But if you are booking a magician cold, then you need to decide if you want a young trendy magician for a younger crowd, do you want a more experienced magician or an older magician for a golden wedding anniversary.

Then there is the worry that a magician is going to be cheesy! Again, I would refer them to my videos and say I am a sophisticated magician performing quality magic for a discerning clients.

For a wedding I would always offer to meet the couple before the big day so they can get to know me a bit more, as I am really going to be a guest at their wedding for many hours.

So, all of this is a very long way of saying, what is the event and what sort of magician do you want and also what is your budget.

If you were having eye surgery, you would want to make sure the person doing it had performed this procedure many times before.

If you are just getting your car washed, a lot of people could have a go and it’s not the end of the world if they don’t do it all perfectly.

So, when hiring a magician, you will know if you want to spend a lot of money on a first class magician with many years of experience or try someone who has just got into magic.

How much will it cost?

Typical prices for 2-3 hours in Central London on a Saturday night are between £550-£750

For events during the week this will be a bit cheaper, but the main part is my availability is going to be much better as there are only so many Saturdays in a year and that’s when everyone normally wants to have their party or get married!

Do I need more than one Magician? If you are expecting over 150 guests then you are going to need to hire more Magicians. Roger can personally recommend other magicians to ensure everyone gets to see some magic.

For a typical 2 hour performance please allow one magician per 150 people. 

If you are looking for the best close up magicians London has to offer Roger is up there with the best, with recent performances for celebrities such as Ross Kemp, Barbara Windsor, James Martin & Dec to name a few. 

So now the big question is how much will it cost? Is it more expensive to hire in London. Just because your party is in London, doesn’t mean it has to be super expensive. Roger has very reasonable rates and whilst he is not the cheapest, he is certainly not the most expensive in London

Roger charges by the hour and prices are dependent on where and when your event is. Central London, Greater London or on the outskirts it doesn’t really matter.

For a personalised quote simply call or email Roger to discuss your event, let him know how many guests you are expecting and I will give you specific price based in your requirements.

It all depends on what day your event is. Is it an afternoon or evening performance. Typically at a wedding your evening guests are going to want to see some magic as well! Just remember entertained guests are happy guests!

Magician for Hire London Prices As a rough guideto hire an experienced magician £250 for the 1st hour then £150 for every consecutive hour. Allow 1 hour per 50 people.

London Magician packages, performance for 1-3 hours mix and mingle magic

Roger will move around your party from room to room entertaining small groups with a short 5-10 minute performances. For this performance you don’t have to worry about a thing Roger will arrive and just start performing, he does not require any room and can operate from his pockets. If you are looking for Magicians in London for a birthday party or house parties this is the perfect choice.

The Magic Room Mainly for house parties, this performance requires the use of a room where there is nothing else going on and the door can be shut. This room will be called the magic room and your guests will be given a ticket with a time on it to enter the magic room. Roger will then perform a short routine of close up magic and mind reading to the small group of guests 4-8 guests are the perfect number. They will enjoy a private performance out of the way of the noise of the party. Once the performance is over they will be sworn to secrecy to not reveal what happens in the magic room. This will provide an air of mystery and guests will not know what to expect. Maybe a bit of mind reading!

Typically at a private party your guests will see Roger moving between groups of people and will see some of the tricks being performed, this way nobody knows what to expect. The magic room can be added onto the end of a straight performance if required and a separate performance would occur in the room as to what is happening in the main party. This could either be some kind of psychological magic or a gambling routine depending on your guests.

Cabaret Magician London The final option is a cabaret performance, this would require an area where Roger can setup or a stage depending on the party venue. The performance would usually be 45 minutes and would require everyone to watch. This works well for some depending on guest numbers. If your party involves a meal and you are looking for some after dinner entertainment then this could be the perfect option. Again this could be combined with a straight performance of table magic or close up magic and or mind reading in the magic room. All of this can be discussed with Roger to find the perfect performance for your private party London Magician and find the perfect performance for your private party in London. 

Wedding Magician London

Are you looking for a close up or table magician in London for your wedding?

If you are reading this then chances are you are already engaged (Congratulations!) and looking for some wedding entertainment ideas and want to find that unique idea that none of your friends have had before?

A few people have been to a wedding where there was a Magician performing and we are sure that if you spoke to them they would say it was a great decision to book a Magician. I don’t think I have ever heard of anyone regretting booking a Magician for their wedding day. It’s the perfect solution for all your everyone, both young and old.

Close up magic for your wedding reception is the ultimate ice breaker and conversation starter. It can be performed during drinks reception or around the tables and even during the evening celebrations. Be aware if you only have one room and a loud disco this might be a bit of a challenge.

Wedding Magic is always best performed during the daytime. Hiring an award winning Magician to perform at your wedding reception is a great way to keep all your guests entertained throughout the day. With performances during the photos, during the wedding breakfast or into the evening celebrations – Having a Magician at your wedding in London will add an extra bit of Magic! The big question is “How much is a professional magician for a wedding?” This depends on how many guests and how long you want Roger to perform for.

If you are expecting over 120 guests then you are going to need to hire more than one magician to ensure everyone gets to see some magic. As a professional Magician for over 20 years Roger knows most of the Wedding Magicians in London and can book them on your behalf. All of them will be vetted by Roger, will be members of the Magic Circle and Magicians Roger has worked with before.

Or if you just want to hire Roger he can perform for longer during your wedding day. Allow one hour per 50 guests to ensure everyone gets to see the magic!

Private Party Magician London

Are you planning a house party or a garden party? Looking for some unique entertainment in London? Roger has performed as a London Magician and numerous private parties and will certainly add some close up magic or magic and mind reading to your party. He can either mingle with your guests moving between rooms and round the garden, or very popular now is the “Magic Room!” If you have a spare room that you could use, Roger can setup a private intimate show for smaller groups of people, they can come in at various times during the night and it means that the magic they experience is not the high energy noisy magic that would be seen in the normal party environment, but a very much more sophisticated and intimate performance.

Roger is one of the most in demand Magicians in London so a please book early

Virtual Show

Roger is available for virtual shows, but if you really want to experience close up magic you need to be there in person!
