Magicians in Lancashire
Close-up magicians for weddings and parties in Lancashire
A close-up magician is one of the best ways to keep guests entertained while the photos are being taken. In Lancashire, magicians are booked for drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, corporate events and parties, moving between groups and performing tricks right in front of them.
Across Lancashire, magicians are booked for weddings and events in and around Preston, Blackburn and Burnley. Venues in the area include Browsholme Hall, Mitton Hall and West Tower, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Wyresdale Park Wedding Barns, Stanley House and The Villa, Wrea Green, with details of each.
Close-up magicians perform card tricks, sleight of hand and mind-reading effects a few inches from your guests, moving from group to group so everyone gets a turn. Some also perform a short stand-up set for the whole room.

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.
Most magician bookings fall between £350 and £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. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.
Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.
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.
