Magicians in Coventry

Hire a magician in Coventry

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

Whether your wedding is near Coventry, Kenilworth and Nuneaton or further afield, the magicians here cover the whole of Coventry. Local venues include Alderson House, St Mary's Guildhall and Cheylesmore Manor House, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Other venues in the area include Mallory Court Country House Hotel & Spa, Coombe Abbey Hotel and Wootton Park, and each has its own venue page further down.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every magician listed here travels to Coventry as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £350 to £800, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

A close-up magician moves between groups, spending a few minutes with each and performing tricks with borrowed items as well as cards. For larger weddings, tell us the guest numbers so we can make sure the booking is long enough for everyone to see them.

Expect to pay from around £350 up to £800. 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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
