Magicians in Hampshire
Close-up magicians for weddings and parties in Hampshire
A close-up magician is one of the best ways to keep guests entertained while the photos are being taken. In Hampshire, magicians are booked for drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, corporate events and parties, moving between groups and performing tricks right in front of them.
Whether your wedding is near Winchester, Southampton and Basingstoke or further afield, the magicians here cover the whole of Hampshire. Local venues include Kimbridge Barn, The Old Dairy at Hatherden Farm and The Elvetham, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Hayling Island Sailing Club, Tithe Barn and Stansted Park, with details of each.
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.

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.
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.
