Magicians in Lincolnshire

Close-up magicians for weddings and parties in Lincolnshire

A close-up magician is one of the best ways to keep guests entertained while the photos are being taken. In Lincolnshire, 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 Lincoln, Grantham and Stamford or further afield, the magicians here cover the whole of Lincolnshire. Local venues include Hanbeck Farm, The Pelham Estate and Washingborough Hall, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Branston Hall Hotel, Revesby Abbey and Belvoir Castle are among the other Lincolnshire venues listed further down, each with its own page.

A close-up magician works in the middle of your guests rather than on a stage, using cards, coins and borrowed items. It needs no set-up, no power and no space, so it fits any venue.

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

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.
