A super afternoon! Kris was so great with my child with special needs and all the family absolutely loved him. Great communication before the event about what would be suitable, and we really weren't expecting the magic to be so brilliant. Everyone got involved and we had a lot of laughs. My child wants him back again next year- can't get a better recommendation than that.

Mike was absolutely fantastic. We had guests across a wide age range and he had something suitable for all of them. He had us all laughing as well as amazed by his tricks. The booking process was really easy, Mike was reliable and great with checking details to make sure he catered for everyone. Mike did a stand up show for us as well, which was a fantastic touch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for your event. Adults and children all commented on how brilliant he was. Such a lovely, genuine and friendly guy too!

The Ultimate Guide to Hiring a Magician in London

Planning an event in London? Whether you're organising a corporate gathering, wedding, or private party, booking a magician can add that extra sparkle to your celebration. But how do you choose the right magician for your event? Don't worry—we’ve got you covered. From booking tips to pricing and types of magicians, this guide will help you make the best decision for a memorable event.

Why Hire a Magician in London?

Let’s be honest, magic makes everything better. It captivates, surprises, and leaves guests with that sense of wonderment. And when you’re in London, the world’s magic capital, there’s no shortage of talented magicians ready to dazzle your guests. Hiring a magician not only adds an element of surprise but also provides a fantastic icebreaker for your event, encouraging people to mingle and interact.

Magic can elevate your event from ordinary to extraordinary in just a few minutes. Imagine watching your guests’ jaws drop as they witness seemingly impossible feats—whether it’s a card trick or levitating tables. But more than just the spectacle, magicians offer an unforgettable experience that people will talk about for weeks.

Types of Magicians for Your London Event

The beauty of hiring a magician is the variety of performances available to suit any type of event. London offers an array of talented illusionists, mentalists, and stage magicians, each bringing something unique to the table. Let’s dive into the most popular types of magicians you can hire.

  1. Illusionists: For the Big Wow Factor Illusionists are the magicians who perform mind-bending tricks that leave audiences gasping. Whether it’s making objects disappear or levitating in mid-air, illusionists are known for their dramatic, larger-than-life performances. If you’re hosting a grand event like a wedding at a luxurious venue or a corporate function, an illusionist will captivate your audience and make your event unforgettable.
  2. Mentalists: Read Minds and Amaze Mentalists are the magicians who have the ability to seemingly read minds. They can predict outcomes, reveal personal details, and perform tricks that seem to defy logic. This type of magician is perfect for more intimate events, like a cocktail party or a dinner reception, where they can interact with guests on a personal level. If you want your guests to leave wondering, “How did they do that?”, a mentalist is the way to go.
  3. Stage Magicians: A Classic Crowd-Pleaser Stage magicians are a tried-and-true option for larger events. They perform bigger tricks with an audience watching from a distance. If you're hosting an event in a venue with a stage, such as a corporate event or theatre performance, a stage magician will provide a polished, professional show that keeps guests on the edge of their seats. Expect props, assistants, and even grand illusions that are sure to make your event one to remember.

How to Choose the Right Magician for Your Event

Now that you know the types of magicians out there, how do you pick the one that’s best suited to your event? Let’s break it down:

  1. Consider the Event Type What kind of atmosphere do you want to create at your event? Are you hosting a laid-back birthday party, a corporate gala, or a sophisticated wedding reception? If you’re looking for something more intimate and interactive, a mentalist may be the best fit. For a grand spectacle, go for an illusionist. Think about your audience’s preferences and the vibe you want to set.
  2. Venue Size and Setting The size and nature of your venue also influence which magician you should hire. Larger venues, like theatres or banquet halls, are ideal for stage magicians or illusionists who can perform for large audiences. For smaller venues, like private parties or smaller corporate events, a close-up magician or mentalist works best since they can engage guests directly.
  3. Performance Duration Magicians typically perform for 30 minutes to an hour, but the exact duration can depend on the type of event and your preferences. If you’re hosting a large event, you may want to have multiple sets or stagger the performance to keep the energy high throughout the day or evening. A shorter performance might work better for smaller, more casual events.
  4. Budget Considerations Pricing for magicians in London can vary widely depending on experience, type of magic, and event size. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from £250 to £500 for a magician, with premium performers costing more for larger, more complex events. Keep in mind that some magicians offer packages, so it’s worth discussing what’s included in the price before booking.

Pricing for Magicians in London

London is a hub for some of the best magicians in the world, and pricing can reflect that. Here’s a rough breakdown of what you can expect to pay:

  • Close-Up Magician: £250 - £400 for an hour of close-up magic at your event.
  • Stage Magician: £350 - £500 for a performance with larger illusions.
  • Mentalist: £300 - £450 for mind-reading performances that engage guests one-on-one.

Of course, the final cost depends on factors like the magician’s experience, the duration of their performance, and the specifics of your event. For a tailored quote, be sure to reach out to the magician directly through a platform like Poptop, where pricing is all-inclusive and upfront. You won’t have to worry about surprise charges, and you’ll know exactly what’s included in your booking.
