He kept both the kids and adults in wonder with some amazing close up magic at our sons bar mitzvah. He is super friendly and professional and we wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him and booking him again ourselves" Based in London, England, United Kingdom 11th November 2026 Faye Silk Photo of Baxley the Mentalist Baxley the Mentalist "We had the pleasure of having Baxley perform at our wedding reception, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience! He did a fantastic job combining mentalism and close-up magic, and it was such a great way to keep our guests entertained while they waited for dinner. His entire set was incredible, and our guests were genuinely entertained, amazed, and thrilled watching him perform. We especially loved the special trick Baxley performed as part of our “Two Becoming One” moment—it was such a unique and memorable addition to our wedding and made the experience even more special for us. Baxley was a huge hit with our guests, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for something fun, unique, and memorable for their event. We would gladly have him perform for us again anytime!" Based in Spencer, Iowa, United States 3rd November 2026 Emily F. - Wedding Reception Photo of ⭐Reda: President, Cercle Magique de Paris ⭐Reda: President, Cercle Magique de Paris "Reda performed at our wedding in Deauville and was one of the highlights of the day. His close-up magic left our guests and ourselves completely amazed. People are still talking about his performance long after. He was warm, professional and easy to work with from the first email to the last trick. Reda even stayed on well beyond his set to take photos with us and share a few more tricks. If you want something truly special for your event, book Reda. You won’t regret it. Morten & Julia" Based in Paris, Île-de-France Region, France 3rd November 2026 Morten - Wedding

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for comedy magicians ranges from R2,250 to R25,000+, with an average of R8,000. Rates depend on the performer's experience, show length and whether the set is a stage show, close-up performance or mix-and-mingle format. Comedy magicians combine magic tricks with humour, making them a popular choice for corporate events and private parties.

The comedy magicians combine magic tricks with comedy, creating a show that is as funny as it is impressive. The focus is on audience laughter and engagement as much as the magic itself. This dual approach makes comedy magicians popular at events where entertainment needs to appeal to a broad audience.

Common events for comedy magicians include corporate events, weddings, private parties, awards dinners and after-dinner entertainment. The combination of magic and comedy works well as a main stage show or during drinks receptions and networking sessions.

Most comedy magicians offer shows ranging from 20 minutes (as an after-dinner spot) to a full 60-minute stage show. Close-up comedy magic for mingling events typically runs for one to two hours. It is worth discussing the best format and duration for your event.

Most comedy magicians bring everything they need for their performance including props, PA system and any staging requirements. For larger venues, additional AV equipment may be needed. It is a good idea to confirm technical requirements with the performer.

Most performers tailor the material to the booking and will keep a set clean where children or a corporate crowd are present. Others have a distinctly adult set for late-night or private bookings. Asking for the intended tone when enquiring is the surest way to get the right fit.

A stage show usually needs a raised area, a microphone and a clear sightline from every seat. Mix-and-mingle work needs none of that, since the performer moves between small groups. The format chosen therefore drives what the venue has to provide.

Personalising a show around the company, the couple or the guest of honour is standard, and many performers ask for a short brief in advance. Names, in-jokes and the reason for the event can all be worked into the routine. A few minutes of background given early usually makes the biggest difference to the reaction.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face.
