5/5 from 1,050 reviews
Photo of Ralphs Mentalism Ralphs Mentalism "Ralph is the real deal. Mingles among the guests and performs Mentalist, mind reading and hypnosis. I have hired and also visited many psychics and magicians and he rates at the very top. Extremely generous with his time as well. Very personable and professional. Would recommend him again without question" Based in San Diego, California 19th October 2026 Amy A. - Community Event Photo of Alexander the OK Alexander the OK "Alexander the OK? That name seriously undersells this guy. My wife and I saw him during The Local Motive’s party bus bar crawl in Colorado Springs while we were in town celebrating my brother’s birthday. He traveled with our group, performed close-up magic, and put on roughly 20-minute mini shows at each bar. He was absolutely amazing. He got me on several tricks, and I was watching closely. There’s something especially impressive about having magic happen right in front of you and still having absolutely no idea how he did it. Beyond the magic, he’s hilarious, has a fantastic stage presence, and knows how to work a crowd. He carries himself with the confidence you expect from a seasoned professional while making everyone feel part of the fun. If you’re looking for a magician for a party or event in Colorado Springs, I can enthusiastically recommend Alexander the OK and AOK Magic based on our experience. He helped make an already great birthday weekend unforgettable. Five stars, easily." Based in Colorado Springs 18th October 2026 Jeff M Photo of The Amasingh Magician The Amasingh Magician "We hired The Amasingh Magician for our corporate holiday party and he was an absolute hit with everyone. Incredible, high quality entertainment that captivated even those who were skeptical. He was also a major pleasure to work with leading up to the event. Super professional and communicative. Would highly recommend for those looking for entertainment for their next event!" Based in Sacramento, California 8th October 2026 Nigel Monk-Coens - Google Photo of Andy Amyx Magician/Entertainer Andy Amyx Magician/Entertainer "I have been wanting a magician for my bachelorette party since my fiancé proposed to me a year ago and Andy did not disappoint! I was nervous that I was hyping him up too much in my head as I haven't seen a magician since I was a kid (other than the Pier 39 street performers). There were 9 of us total ranging from 29 to 40 years old and not one of us was disappointed. Mouths were wide open, tears (of joy/laughter/confusion) were cried, and laughs were had. I was very tempted to invite Andy to our wedding so all of our guests could have as good of a time as I did. If you are on the fence, trust me, higher Andy. 🕊🎩🪄⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐" Based in San Francisco, California 5th October 2026 Terra Kiser Photo of Entertainment of Brandon Smith Entertainment of Brandon Smith "Absolutely AMAZING! Brandon worked the crowd and kept everyone entertained. We had a corporate event for about 600 people and he interacted with the majority of them with all positive feedback. One thing that really stuck out was that he remembered people who had seen tricks so he changed them throughout the night. Definitely recommend!" Based in Melbourne, Florida 21st September 2026 Brandice Acree - Allstate Benefits Photo of Magician - The Amazing Ziggy Magician - The Amazing Ziggy "We hired Aaron/The Amazing Ziggy to perform a magic show during our Victorian Christmas event in 2017. Working with him was a wonderful experience- he’s professional, courteous, and extremely talented. We heard nothing but positive feedback from the event goers who were captivated as they watched him perform magic tricks unlike anything they’d ever seen! I would highly recommend his services, especially if you’re looking for something out of the box and fun." Based in Griffin, Georgia 1st May 2026 Sarah Turner - City of Thomasville events director

Frequently asked questions

Hiring illusionists typically costs between $130 and $1,150+, with an average of $400. 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.
