Reviews of Illusionists available in Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa

The Historical Conjurer
"Professor Schreiber came to our house for my mom’s birthday, and it was the highlight of the party!! He was so engaging, fun, thoughtful, and personable! His style of magic was super interesting and it was fascinating to also learn about the history of magic. He really wove a great story and even had a Q&A at the end which was thoughtful. Hire him, you’ll be happy you did!!"

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.
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.
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.
