Magicians in London
What to expect from a professional magician in London
Magicians in London are commonly hired for private events, corporate functions, and public-facing hospitality settings where light entertainment helps guests relax and interact. A professional magician typically performs close-up magic (also called walk-around magic), table magic during meals, or a short stand-up set for a group. The style is usually social and adaptable rather than theatrical, making it suitable for venues with mixed ages and different levels of attention.
For visitors or event planners, the main expectation should be interactive entertainment. Guests are often invited to participate in card effects, mind-reading style routines, or visual magic using everyday objects. In London, many performers are experienced in fast-paced event environments, so they can work around speeches, service timing, and venue restrictions without interrupting the flow.
Suitable occasions and event formats
Magicians can be a practical choice for a wide range of occasions because the performance can be flexible in duration and setup.
- Corporate events: Networking receptions, product launches, trade shows, awards dinners, and client entertainment.
- Private celebrations: Birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, and house events.
- Weddings: Drinks reception, between ceremony and meal, or during room turnaround.
- Seasonal events: Christmas parties, summer parties, and charity fundraising evenings.
- Hospitality venues: Restaurants, hotel lounges, and VIP guest experiences.
Close-up magic is often the best option for events with guests standing and mingling, while a short parlour or cabaret-style set can work better when everyone is seated and a shared focus is needed.
Practical details for planners
Price range: Fees in London often vary based on experience, date, duration, and event type. As a general guide, close-up magicians may charge from around £300-£600 for smaller private bookings, while established corporate performers often fall in the £700-£1,500+ range. Premium performers and peak dates can be higher.
Equipment: Most close-up magicians bring their own props and require little or no technical setup. For stand-up sets, some may need a microphone, small PA system, or clear performance area depending on audience size.
Timing: A common booking length is 1.5 to 2 hours for close-up magic. Longer events may be split into sets to maintain energy and guest engagement.
Space and access: Share venue layout, guest count, and running order in advance. This helps the magician plan whether to perform table-to-table, circulate freely, or deliver a fixed set.
Booking considerations: Review videos, testimonials, and event-specific experience. Confirm what is included in the fee, travel costs within Greater London, cancellation terms, and whether the performer is insured.
FAQ
How far in advance should I book?
For popular dates such as Fridays in December or summer weekends, booking several months ahead is recommended. Midweek or off-peak dates may have more flexibility.
Can a magician perform for international guests?
Yes. Many London magicians work with mixed audiences and can use clear, visual routines that require minimal language.
Is close-up magic suitable for children and adults together?
Often yes, but it depends on the event. Ask for a family-friendly set if children will be present.
Do magicians need a stage?
Not for close-up magic. A stage is only typically needed for a cabaret or parlour-style performance for larger seated groups.
What information should I provide before booking?
Share the date, venue, guest numbers, event type, schedule, and preferred performance style so the magician can advise on the most suitable format.
