Hire a magician your guests will still be talking about
From close-up miracles at the dinner table to a full stage show: compare magicians and arrange your booking directly with the performer.
A magician is one of the most reliable ice-breakers you can book: strangers become a table of friends the moment a signed card ends up somewhere impossible. In the UK, close-up magicians typically charge €400 to €700 for two hours of mix-and-mingle magic, while a full stage or parlour show ranges from €650 to €1,500.
Treat the figures below as indicative from-prices in euros. The exact fee depends on experience, performance length and travel — and because EntertainerShow charges no commission, the price you agree with the magician is the price you pay.

How long does a close-up magician perform?
Two hours is the common booking — enough to reach every table or group at a typical party. Longer bookings are usually charged at a lower hourly add-on rate.
Is a magician suitable for a corporate event?
Very much so. Mix-and-mingle magic gets strangers talking, which is exactly what receptions and networking events need. Many magicians also offer branded tricks for product launches.
What does a children's magician cost?
A 45-minute children's magic show typically costs €200 to €400, often with balloon modelling included. See our children's entertainment price guide for more.
Do I pay commission on the booking?
No. You agree the fee directly with the magician — EntertainerShow adds no commission and takes no cut.
