Reviews of Illusionists available in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

Matt Barber - Close-Up Magician
"Fantastic! Contacted Matt for a 30th birthday event. We had a meeting over video chat to discuss options and for him to show me some examples of his work. His knowledge and experience was great and the final plan worked perfectly. On the night of he arrived early to ensure the surprise was not spoiled. He was an instant hit with everyone, and his magic was truly amazing to watch. He was not stagnant, but mingled seamlessly with the crowd ensuring everyone got a show. My friends and family all mesaged me after the event congratulating me on such a fun suprise and all credit to Matt for that. I would not hesitate to hire him again if the need should arise in the future."

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.
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.
Hiring illusionists typically costs between R2,300 and R25,000+, with an average of R9,000. The price depends on the performer's experience, show duration and the scale of the illusions.
