Magicians in Norfolk

Close-up magicians for weddings and parties in Norfolk

Magic gives guests something to talk about for the rest of the day. Across Norfolk, close-up magicians work the drinks reception and the tables at the wedding breakfast, breaking the ice between guests who haven't met before.

Popular wedding venues in Norfolk include Bayfield Hall, Curds Hall Barn and Hockwold Hall, and our magicians travel to weddings and events across Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. You'll find more Norfolk venues below, including Manor Mews, Oxnead Hall and Voewood, 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 Norfolk as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £350 to £800, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

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.

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.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

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.
