5/5 from 1,779 reviews
Photo of Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts Edd Fairman, Wizard of Sorts "Edd performed for my daughter's birthday party (6yo/kindergarten). The kids and the adults enjoyed the show. It was funny, interactive, and interesting. The kids laughed throughout and had fun participating in the tricks. He was easy to work with, prompt to set up, and even stayed longer to accommodate all of the kids and their balloon animal choices. I highly recommend Edd and his magic show!" Based in Chicago, Illinois Katie K - 6 year old Birthday Party Photo of Zack Percell of TnZ Magic Zack Percell of TnZ Magic "Zack came to our Elementary School today and performed for our 400 students ages 5 to 10. The kids (and staff) LOVED his show! He was very engaging with the kids, and they were amazed by his magic! He interacted with the kids in the audience, and a few lucky students and teachers were able to assist with the magic tricks, which they all loved! Thank you for the wonderful entertainment!" Based in Rockford, Illinois Courtney Coulthard - School admin Photo of Mario Manzini Entertainment Mario Manzini Entertainment "I booked Mario Manzini to present his Tribute To Elvis music show here at Richardson Auditorium. We have over 1,300 seats and his show packed in a full crowd at $ 25 a seat on Jan 7, 2025 for Elvis's birthday. Mario is rated the top 3rd Elvis Tribute Artist in the Mid West and his show was fantastic. He did 2 sets of an hour each singing all of the hit songs of Elvis. This is the 3rd time in the past few years that we have had him perform here and it won't be the last. I highly recommend Mario Manzini for any event where you are wanting a first class Elvis concert.

Based in Lexington-Fayette, Kentucky Indigo T. - Private Event Photo of Adam Brown, The Gentle Giant Adam Brown, The Gentle Giant "Adam was hilarious and very professional. His acts were diverse and fun. He has a great attitude and is able to capture the attention of a large crowd. You won’t regret his act!" Based in Kansas City, Missouri 20th September 2026 Sydney Holgrin - Corporate Party Photo of Mooncalf Magic Mooncalf Magic "Dynamic, Reliable, and Crowd-Ready Performer Mooncalf Magic brought high energy and strong crowd engagement to the Seafarer’s Beergarden at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Danny consistently connected with guests through humor, presence, and interactive charm. His flexibility in performance style made him a great fit for the unique rhythm of our themed festival environment. Behind the scenes, Danny was dependable, professional, and easy to work with. His time with us added great value to the Beergarden’s entertainment lineup, and I’m happy to recommend him for future bookings seeking an experienced, engaging performer. — Brandi Ogier Entertainment Director, KCRF" Based in Kansas City Brandi Ogier - Kansas City Renaissance Festival

Frequently asked questions

Hiring magicians typically costs between $140 and $1,350+, with an average of $500. 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.
