Magicians in Birmingham

Close-up magicians for weddings and parties in Birmingham

Magic gives guests something to talk about for the rest of the day. Across Birmingham, close-up magicians work the drinks reception and the tables at the wedding breakfast, breaking the ice between guests who haven't met before.

Birmingham has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Birmingham Botanical Gardens and Castle Bromwich Historic Gardens to The Grand Hotel Birmingham. Our magicians travel to towns across the area, including Birmingham, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. The Bond, New Hall Hotel & Spa and Fazeley Studios are among the other Birmingham venues listed further down, each with its own page.

Magic is a great ice-breaker. While the couple are having photos taken, a close-up magician can bring together guests who have never met, and the tricks become something people talk about for the rest of the day.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The magicians listed here all travel to Birmingham, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

The essentials:

• Prices usually from £350 up to £800
• Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
• Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
• The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
• 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

The drinks reception is the most popular slot, as guests are standing in groups and there's often a wait while photos are taken. A magician can also work the tables between courses at the wedding breakfast, or entertain guests during the evening while the band sets up.

Prices usually start from around £350 and go up to £800 or so. A single drinks reception slot sits at the lower end, while a magician covering the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
