Browse 896 magicians and magic performers for hire, backed by 2,416 reviews from real clients rating acts 5 out of 5. Magic works at almost any scale: sleight of hand performed inches from a small group at a drinks reception, a seated set that moves table to table between courses, or a staged show with props and volunteers as the evening's centrepiece.
Because a magician needs no stage, no soundcheck and very little space, magic slots into gaps in a running order that live music cannot fill, which is why it is often booked alongside a band or a DJ rather than instead of one. Typical bookings come in around $350.

This page lists general magicians, the widest of the magic categories and the right starting point when the format is still open. Many of the acts here are booked for reasons that have nothing to do with tricks: a way to occupy guests during a drinks reception or a photography gap, an icebreaker for a room where people have not met, or a talking point at a corporate event that people repeat afterwards.
Each of the specialisms below has its own page, and plenty of performers work across more than one of them. Strolling magicians suit cocktail hours and networking, greeting guests in small groups with short visual routines that break the ice. Comedy magicians lean on humour as much as method and work well after dinner, when the room is seated and receptive. Illusionists build larger set pieces around staging and reveals, which needs a proper performance area. Mind readers and mentalists take a psychological approach that tends to land well with corporate audiences. For younger guests, children's magicians pace a show around attention spans and build in participation.
Close-up magic is difficult to film well, so a showreel tells you less here than it would for a band. Watch the reactions rather than the tricks: whether guests are leaning in, whether the performer is talking to the group or performing at it, and whether the footage comes from real bookings or a studio. Read reviews for the room type rather than the score, since an act that is excellent at a seated dinner is not automatically right for a noisy standing reception. Performers with a specific niche will usually say so on their profile.
Most acts quote for a performance window rather than an hourly rate, and the average booking lands around $350. What moves a quote is the length of the appearance, whether the act is roaming or staged, travel distance, and the day of the week. A close-up set of 60 to 90 minutes is the standard unit and sits at the lower end. Full stage shows of 30 to 45 minutes cost more because of the props, setup and rehearsal behind them, and combined bookings covering a reception and an after-dinner slot are usually priced as a package rather than as two separate fees.
The average price for Magicians is $350 (USD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

René Frotscher/ René Mazing
"Fantastic presence and performances! Rene did a great job blending in until the moment came to stand out, and he spread the performance around across all attendees. We got a secret surprise souvenir that we've kept in a special place :) Thank you Rene!"
Peter Mills Magic
"My mother hired Peter Mills in 2000 for my son's 8th birthday party. My son was really into magic at the time. Peter performed a great show. The kids, and my mother and myself were thoroughly entertained. I know that was a long time ago, but Peter Mills is an excellent magician and my son loved him. We saw him in a store a few years after the show. He still remembered us and doing our show he is a very friendly, warm and professional person. If you are looking for a magician to hire for whatever your event is, look no further. I guarantee you will enjoy his performance. Thank you Peter Mills for giving my son Adam one of the best and most cherished memories he has."
Magician Warsaw - MAGIC & MENTALISM SHOW!
"I rarely write reviews, but this one is exceptionally well-deserved. Each year for our industry awards ceremony, we hire different kinds of entertainment: acrobats, fire shows, dancers, and even other magicians. However, absolutely no one has ever left our guests in awe quite like Rafał. His main performance was mind-blowing and hilarious, but the tricks (if you can even call them that) he performed later while walking among us were just INSANE!
It’s been a week since the event, and it is still the talk of the office. I highly recommend him This young, charming man is absolute world-class talent!"
David Kung
"David was fantastic at our birthday party! His close-up magic was perfect for the group because he could move around and perform for different tables. Everyone was genuinely surprised, and he was friendly and easy to have around. A great addition to the evening."
Andy Amyx Magician/Entertainer
"Andy and Georgia are the best! They performed at my bachelorette party and it was a huge hit! Can’t wait to support them in the future!"
The Amasingh Magician
"Wedding – Engaging, Unique, and Unforgettable
Vikram (The Amasingh) was an unforgettable part of our wedding celebration. He is fantastic at engaging people of all ages, and his tricks were both unique and perfectly tailored to our diverse age range of guests. From close-up magic during cocktail hour to interactive moments on stage, he enhanced our guest experience in the best way.
One trick we’ll never forget, we signed different playing cards, and he somehow fused them into one — with both signatures — right before our eyes. It was incredible.
Vikram is professional, warm, and truly talented. If you're looking to add something magical and memorable to your event, he’s your guy.
