Frequently asked questions
Table Magician prices are much the same for any Magic. If you are hiring a Close up Magician expect to pay the same amount, according to the Magic Circle, for a typical 2 hour performance in the South of England expect to pay between £300-£500 for a high quality Magician
Yes, a lot! I normally perform at over 50 weddings a year and Table Magic is a great addition to the day. This is usually during the wedding breakfast or it can be later on in the evening with smaller groups of guests seated at a table.
How many Table Magicians do I need?
Depending on how much time you have for Table Magic, typically for most corporate events, there is a short performance window of around 2 hours where the meal is being served and before the entertainment starts. So, if you are looking for everyone to see some Table Magic you need to allow 1 Table Magician per 100-150 guests depending on how much magic you want each table to see? For 100 guests over a 2 hour period and you have 10 guests per table equates to around 10 minutes per table.
Are Table Magicians good for Weddings?
Yes, 100% a Table Magician is the perfect entertainment for the wedding breakfast or during the photos.
What is a Table Magicians Table?
A lot of Magicians use a small table to perform magic on, it is usually foldable and assembled in seconds, some of them in a very magic way. It provides a good surface to perform magic to small groups of people and ensures a solid surface to perform tricks such as the cups and balls.
Why does the tablecloth magic trick work?
Whilst not actually a magic trick when a Magician pulls a tablecloth from a table with enough inertia all the plates and glasses will remain on the table. This is just physics you don’t need a special Magician Table.

Table Magician Reviews
Table Magic
Table magic, also known as close-up magic at the table, is a captivating form of entertainment performed right at your guests’ fingertips. It typically takes place at seated events like weddings, banquets, or corporate dinners, where the magician moves from table to table, performing short sets of magic for small groups.
Unlike stage magic, which is viewed from a distance, table magic is personal, interactive, and often mind-blowing. Guests witness the impossible — cards change in their hands, coins vanish, borrowed items reappear, and everyday objects defy logic. Because it’s performed so close, table magic creates a sense of wonder and connection that other forms of entertainment struggle to match.
A skilled table magician doesn’t just rely on sleight of hand — they engage, charm, and connect with the audience. The magic is often mixed with humour, storytelling, and audience participation, making each performance unique.
Table magic is ideal for events where people are seated in groups — like wedding receptions, corporate dinners, charity galas, and private parties. It’s a brilliant icebreaker, gets people talking, and keeps the energy of the room high between courses or speeches.
As a professional table magician based in the UK, I’ve performed this style of magic at hundreds of events across the South Coast and beyond. Whether you’re planning a wedding, awards night, or an intimate dinner party, table magic adds a memorable, personal touch that your guests will be talking about long after the event ends.
