Wedding Magician Prices & Packages

So you're interested in hiring a wedding magician and want to know the going rate. Wedding magician prices vary depending on experience, skill level and popularity. The day of the week and time of year may also have an impact — mid-week dates and quieter months are sometimes available at a different rate.

Cheap Wedding Magicians…

Although not the cheapest wedding magician around — and you probably wouldn't want to hire the cheapest anyway — I provide superb value for money and have hundreds of reviews and feedback emails from delighted clients proving you get excellent, reliable entertainment for your special day.

It's easy to read independent reviews, watch unedited videos and get in touch to help make your decision. When choosing any wedding magician, make sure you check genuine reviews and watch live, unedited footage — it's the best way to know what you'll actually get on the day.

What Affects Wedding Magician Prices?

  • Experience and skill level — A full-time professional with 20+ years of experience and awards will naturally cost more than someone who performs part-time at weekends.
  • Duration — Most bookings are for 2–3 hours. A shorter drinks reception booking costs less than a full evening.
  • Day and date — Peak Saturdays in summer are the busiest and most in-demand dates.
  • Travel — I include travel in my quote for all UK events, so there are no surprise extras.

What's Included When You Book Me?

  • Travel to and from your venue anywhere in the UK
  • A fully self-contained performance — no stage, power or special requirements
  • Close-up card magic, coin vanishes and sleight of hand
  • Mind reading — PIN numbers, names and thoughts revealed
  • Pickpocket comedy — watches and items vanish and reappear
  • Fork bending and metal work
  • Public liability insurance through my Equity membership
  • Written booking confirmation — fully paperless and efficient

When Do I Perform at Weddings?

The most popular options are:

  • Drinks reception — While photos are being taken, I entertain your guests so nobody feels lost or bored
  • Wedding breakfast — I move from table to table between courses, visiting every guest
  • Evening reception — As evening guests arrive, mix-and-mingle magic keeps the atmosphere buzzing

Most couples book me for 2–3 hours to cover the drinks reception and wedding breakfast — this gives me time to perform for every single guest.

Wedding Magician Pricing FAQs

How much does a wedding magician cost?

Wedding magician prices vary depending on experience, skill level, popularity, day of the week and time of year. As a general guide: less experienced or part-time performers typically charge £300–£500, full-time professionals £500–£800, and top-tier award-winning performers £800+. I'm always happy to provide a tailored quote — get in touch here.

What's included in the price?

Everything. Travel, set-up, and a fully self-contained performance — no stage, power or equipment needed. Bookings are confirmed in writing and I carry full public liability insurance through my Equity membership. There are no hidden extras.

Do you charge extra for travel?

No — travel is always included in my quote for UK events.

How long do you perform for?

Most weddings are 2–3 hours, typically covering the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast. This gives me time to visit every guest and every table. I'm flexible and can adapt to your schedule.

When do you perform at a wedding?

The most popular times are the drinks reception (while photos are being taken), between courses of the wedding breakfast, or as the evening guests arrive. Many couples book me for the drinks reception and wedding breakfast combined.

Are cheaper magicians worth considering?

Choosing a wedding magician based on price alone is risky. The cheapest option can leave guests unimpressed and create awkward silences rather than laughter. Read independent reviews, watch unedited live video footage, and make sure you're booking someone with a genuine track record. Value for money matters more than the headline price.

How do I book?

Simply get in touch with your event date, venue and approximate guest numbers. I'll send a tailored quote — usually within 24 hours.
