Based in Hedge End, England (5 miles from Southampton) Iain mckeown Photo of Andy Jay | Magician and Mind Reader Andy Jay | Magician and Mind Reader "Andy made sure our guests had a great time. Very casual, very funny, and absolutely mind blowing. A crowd gathered and he made sure everyone was involved. Incredible!" Based in New Forest, England (10 miles from Southampton) Natalie Arnold - Private Wedding Photo of Magic Maisie Magic Maisie "Just want to start of by saying a massive thank you for attending our wedding on Friday. Both me and Luke were very happy with your service you provided, leaving the guests and ourselves clueless on your magic tricks which got us all talking for the night. We really enjoyed having you at our wedding. The service you provided was brilliant, keeping in contact with us throughout the day to check everything was okay. You were punctual with the times that we requested and helped us to make the day run as smoothly as possible. We also really enjoyed seeing the footage that you made. Good luck with everything you do Maisie, you are a star!" Based in Portsmouth, England (15 miles from Southampton) Natasha & Luke Walsh - Wedding Photo of Tom Drudge - Close Up Magician Tom Drudge - Close Up Magician "Just popped into Bohemia in Brighton for a quick drink (20.12.25) and Tom came over to our table. Blew us away with his skillful close up card tricks. The 4 of us were all staring at his hands intent on spotting "how", but over multiple tricks could not spot it. We were very effusive in our enjoyment and praise, it was a surprise and delight to have met Tom and seen his skills. Have banked his details for future corporate events." Based in Brighton, England (55 miles from Southampton) 21st December 2025 Charlotte - Bohemia- bar Photo of The Jack of Magic The Jack of Magic "Adrian was lovely at our wedding! He was very friendly and great with the kids. He provided our guests with some great entertainment. Would thoroughly recommend." Based in Cotswolds, England (67 miles from Southampton) Mark Webb - wedding Photo of Chasing The Illusion Chasing The Illusion "We recently had the pleasure of experiencing Chase's magic at our Christmas party, and he was absolutely outstanding. His performance was on a completely different level — not just traditional magic, but truly mind-blowing mentalism and touch magic that left us speechless. His ability to read thoughts, predict choices, and reveal personal details with impossible accuracy had the entire room captivated. The mentalism routines were eerie in the best possible way — the kind that makes you look around to check whether someone must be in on it (they weren’t!). But the moment that everyone is still talking about is his touch magic. Feeling a tap on your shoulder or hand without him being anywhere near you is something you can’t fully explain until you experience it. It was surreal, unforgettable, and created that perfect mix of excitement and disbelief. On top of his incredible talent, he was warm, engaging, and effortlessly funny — the type of entertainer who instantly puts people at ease and gets everyone involved without ever making anyone uncomfortable. If you’re looking for entertainment that is unique, astonishing, and memorable long after the event is over, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Truly exceptional." Based in London, England (69 miles from Southampton) 8th December 2025 Kras - Christmas party

Frequently asked questions

Hiring illusionists typically costs between £100 and £950+, with an average of £380. 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.
