Magicians in Durham
Hire a magician in Durham
Magic gives guests something to talk about for the rest of the day. Across Durham, close-up magicians work the drinks reception and the tables at the wedding breakfast, breaking the ice between guests who haven't met before.
Durham has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Hardwick Hall Hotel and Durham Castle to Lumley Castle. Our magicians travel to towns across the area, including Durham, Darlington and Bishop Auckland, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Other venues in the area include Beamish Hall Hotel, South Causey Inn and Dalton Old Pump House, 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.
Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The magicians listed here all travel to Durham, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.
The essentials:
- Typical cost: £350 to £800, depending on how long they perform and the date

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.
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.
Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
