Photo of Daniel Maze Daniel Maze "Magic Dan entertained us brilliantly at our birthday party.🤩His close up card tricks are totally baffling and performed perfectly.♣️ He’s a really lovely guy and made the afternoon really special. ❤️I wholeheartedly recommend him for any social events, big or small. Can’t wait to watch him again!" Based in Liverpool, England (16 miles from Chester) Sam Cocking - Private Hire Photo of johnhMagician johnhMagician "Mind Blown.... John is brilliant, i genuinely have no idea how he does what he does... he worked the room brilliantly at our wedding last week, spoke to everyone and astounded everyone, including those who thought they knew better :) We booked him for 17:30 - 19:30 and it was the best time, what could have been a bit of a lull ended up being one of the most spoken about sections of the day!! We would highly recommend John... he was a pleasure to deal with and his work speaks for itself, thank you!!!" Based in Liverpool, England (16 miles from Chester) Lisa Blanchard - Wedding Photo of Multi Award winning magician Multi Award winning magician "I reached out to Magic-ian when arranging the annual dinner awards. ian was so helpful with his time and input. I was unsure that one man could perform for 400 people within a few hours but i was amazed by his consistent and proficient execution throughout the entire room. It was a joy to watch and a occasion to remember. He never once asked for it but he had drinks waiting for him when he finished See you in a few months again Ian" Based in Liverpool, England (16 miles from Chester) Helen Evans - NHS awards Photo of Ben Harris Magician Ben Harris Magician "I've known Ben for a number of years and have been amazed at his magic and how they have developed over time. After attending one of his shows, where he showed just how good he was at magic and illusion, I asked him if he would come to entertain my grandchildren and their friends at my home. Ben was great! My grandchildren and their friends were enthralled with all the magic tricks he performed which were entirely suitable for the young ones. Ben has the ability to entertain children and adults alike, gearing his show to his audience and demonstrating his versatility with all ages. He is a real showman and is a pleasure to watch! I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone which is interested in magic and illusion, you will have a really enjoyable time!" Based in Liverpool, England (16 miles from Chester) Ronnie Wilkinson Photo of Ian McCoy Ian McCoy "The Best entertainer in the UK - 5 stars. "If you are thinking of using Ian for your event so not hesitate or waste any more time thinking and reading reviews... Just book him!!! Ian is down to earth whilst completely professional. He's funny, relaxed and looks the part whatever the event requires. Ian absolutely blew us away at our wedding and our guests will not stop talking about him! His close up magic is on another level, real magic! Honestly we were utterly amazed. He entertained the children for hours, and they were hooked. It made people laugh and relax. It brought together different friends and family to break the ice. He did a little stand up with us as bride and groom with mentalism and we still can't work out how on earth he knew what we were thinking!! Book him today"" Based in Wallasey, England (18 miles from Chester) 21st September 2026 Ceri Dowdal - wedding Photo of Pete Hopkins Magic Pete Hopkins Magic "First time booking a magician for an event and Pete was fantastic. Importantly to me, good comms throughout the booking process and transparent pricing options. His work went down a treat across the evening and every guest was positively impressed and remarked how good his performance was. 10/10" Based in St Helens, England (19 miles from Chester) Louis - 30th birthday

Frequently asked questions

Hiring magicians typically costs between £100 and £1,000+, with an average of £350. The price depends on the magician's experience, show duration and the format. Close-up magic for walkabout settings tends to be priced differently from full stage shows, and experienced performers with strong reputations charge accordingly.

The magicians offer a range of performance styles to suit different events. Close-up or strolling magic is ideal for cocktail receptions and mingling, with the magician moving between guests performing tricks at close range. Stage magic is better suited to larger audiences where the performance is the main focus.

Performance length varies depending on the type of magic and the event format. A close-up magician typically works a room for one to two hours, while a stage show usually lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. It is worth discussing your event schedule with the magician.

Hiring magicians is one of the most popular choices for corporate events, conferences, award dinners and product launches. Close-up magic works particularly well during networking sessions and drinks receptions, helping to break the ice between guests.

Yes, most magicians bring everything they need for their performance. Close-up magicians typically require no additional setup at all. Stage magicians may need a performance area with adequate lighting and, for larger venues, access to a microphone or PA system. It is worth confirming any technical requirements.
