Photo of Dan Chan "The Millionaires' Mentalist" Dan Chan "The Millionaires' Mentalist" "My husbands company had a virtual magic show today with Dan and his son and it was AWESOME!!!!! Dan has amazing energy and he's super engaging. It was a really fun experience and the time flew by. This was a great virtual event and such a fun idea to bring a company together from afar! I can't wait to see a show in person at some point in the near future! Great!!!!!!" Based in Fremont, California (15 miles from San Jose) Alison O. - Virtual Corporate Event 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 (42 miles from San Jose) 5th October 2026 Terra Kiser 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!"

I recommend him for your next holiday event or party." Based in Los Angeles, California (306 miles from San Jose) Alison C - Holiday Party Photo of Hypnotists and Psychic Entertainment Hypnotists and Psychic Entertainment "Highly engaging and thought provoking! Brandon is a delight to be around and well worth the hours spent trying to figure out, "How did he do that?" Five stars are not enough to describe what he has to offer and I hope to see him perform again sometime soon."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring illusionists typically costs between $130 and $1,400+, with an average of $500. 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.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.
