Magicians in London
Close-up magicians for weddings and parties in London
Magic gives guests something to talk about for the rest of the day. Across London, close-up magicians work the drinks reception and the tables at the wedding breakfast, breaking the ice between guests who haven't met before.
London has a wide choice of wedding venues, from The Gore Hotel and Grand Connaught Rooms to Syon House at Syon Park. Our magicians travel to towns across the area, including central London, Greenwich and Richmond, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Further down this page are more local venues, such as St Pancras Renaissance Hotel London, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and Eltham Palace, with details of each.
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.

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.
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.
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.
