Magicians in Japan 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 Japan centre on ¥80,000 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 is ¥80,000 (JPY), with most priced from ¥23,500 to ¥240,000+. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

"So much energy and charm!
Gig Salad hired Eddy to perform during the registration and greeting portion of a conference we sponsored, and he brought exactly the unique twist we were looking for! He danced, welcomed attendees, and instantly elevated the atmosphere. On top of that, he made the booking and planning process seamless and stress-free. Thank you, Eddy, for kicking things off with so much energy and charm.

Baxley the Mentalist
"We had the pleasure of having Baxley perform at our wedding reception, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience! He did a fantastic job combining mentalism and close-up magic, and it was such a great way to keep our guests entertained while they waited for dinner.
His entire set was incredible, and our guests were genuinely entertained, amazed, and thrilled watching him perform. We especially loved the special trick Baxley performed as part of our “Two Becoming One” moment—it was such a unique and memorable addition to our wedding and made the experience even more special for us.
Baxley was a huge hit with our guests, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for something fun, unique, and memorable for their event. We would gladly have him perform for us again anytime!"
⭐Reda: President, Cercle Magique de Paris
"Reda performed at our wedding in Deauville and was one of the highlights of the day. His close-up magic left our guests and ourselves completely amazed. People are still talking about his performance long after.
He was warm, professional and easy to work with from the first email to the last trick. Reda even stayed on well beyond his set to take photos with us and share a few more tricks.
If you want something truly special for your event, book Reda. You won’t regret it.
