Leon brought fantastic energy, professionalism and creativity to the show, and the performances were incredibly well received by our visitors. What stood out most was his ability to engage with audiences of all ages and create those unexpected moments of entertainment that really add to the overall event experience. Leon is passionate about what he does, reliable and incredibly easy to work with. We loved having Real Magic Productions as part of the show and would happily recommend Leon and his team to anyone looking to bring something engaging, memorable and a little bit magical to their event.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring illusionists typically costs between R2,200 and R23,500+, with an average of R9,000. The price depends on the performer's experience, show duration and the scale of the illusions. Large-scale stage illusions with elaborate props and equipment tend to cost significantly more than smaller-format performances.

The illusionists specialise in large-scale visual illusions such as making people appear or vanish, levitation, escape acts and other grand effects. While close-up magicians perform at arm's length, illusionists typically perform on stage for larger audiences.

Many clients book illusionists for corporate events, gala dinners, theatre shows, product launches, awards ceremonies and large private celebrations where a headline stage act is needed. Illusionist shows are visually spectacular and work well as a focal point for the evening.

Most illusionists require a stage area, specific lighting, and sometimes rigging or special effects equipment. Space needs vary depending on the illusions being performed. To get the best results, discuss all technical and staging requirements with the illusionist well in advance.

Most illusionists bring their own props, illusion equipment and often their own lighting and sound. For larger venues, coordination with the venue's technical team may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all equipment and access requirements before booking.
