Browse 403 magicians and magic performers for hire in Australia, with 1,529 reviews from real clients rating acts 5 out of 5. The acts listed cover close-up magic performed for small groups, table-to-table sets during a seated meal, and staged shows with props and audience volunteers, so the same page serves a 30-guest dinner and a 300-guest awards night.
Most magic acts travel well beyond the town they are based in, so the choice available for a given date is usually wider than it first looks. Most bookings land around $700.

Magicians in Australia work across weddings, private parties and corporate events, and many will have performed at the same venues you are considering. That matters more than it sounds: an act that knows a room knows where the awkward sightlines are, how long the drinks reception really runs, and when the staff will start clearing tables.
Close-up magic asks for almost nothing at all. No stage, no power, no sound system, and the act can start the moment guests have a drink in hand. A staged set is a different proposition and needs a clear area guests can see from a seated position, somewhere to leave props out of sight, and in a large room a microphone through the house system. Ask the venue about the sound system before booking a stage act, because a magician talking without amplification to 200 seated guests will not carry.
The two slots that work hardest are the drinks reception, where guests are standing and have nothing to do, and the gap between a meal and the evening entertainment. Roaming magic during a seated meal works too, though it needs coordinating with the catering team so the act is not arriving at a table as the plates do. Give the performer a running order a week or two ahead and they will usually suggest where their set lands best.
Rates for magic acts in Australia centre on $700 for a standard booking, with the length of the performance window the single biggest factor. Distance adds to a quote once a performer is travelling far enough to need a hotel, and the busiest wedding dates of the year carry a premium. Check whether the quoted fee covers setup time and any props specific to your event, and whether a second appearance later in the evening is charged separately or folded into a package.
The average price for Magicians available in Australia is $700 (AUD). Above you will also find a budget price and high end price. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

John Messina - Corporate Magician
"We had John join us for our work Christmas Party last night in Sydney Harbour aboard @SevenSeas what an entertainer he was fantastic. Everyone is as amazed and couldn't believe what they were seeing. Thanks John you will hear from us again."
William The Juggler
"Came to St George and had the kids and parents cracking up!"
Scott Painter - Magician
"Scott was awesome! If I could do 20 stars I would! We booked him for our wedding during the canopy 2 hours while we did the bridal party photos. He kept everyone (adults and kids) entertained with a wide array of card tricks and other sleight of hand magic! Everyone was blown away and convinced that he possessed other worldly powers to pull the tricks off! I would highly recommend Scott for any events where you think a small dazzle of entertainment is required, Scott is the perfect guy!"
Paul Andrews Magical Entertainment
"Seeing Paul Andrews at the Sit Down Comedy Club earlier this week, left me with sore sides from laughing and a sore brain from trying to work out his tricks – and I loved every minute of it. Hilarious, mind-bending, and full of wow moments. I've been smiling about this performance long after the gig."
Jay Cristo (Magician & Mentalist)
"Jay was absolutely incredible! Kind and funny, he blew everyone away with his clever tricks. It was a wonderful addition to my 30th birthday and will have people talking for a long time to come."
Blaze Magic
"We are most grateful to you for putting in your time to come into our Library to entertain and amaze so many of our children! Without you, the day would have been so much less successful! We had the biggest Saturday crowd we have ever seen in the library: 855 people, on the day. From our viewpoint, having you there on the day made it an exciting and interactive day, and your enthusiasm and willingness to come was a real tonic to our efforts.
We truly hope that the great relationship between Blaze Magic and the Nerang Library will continue into future events."
