Magicians in Oxfordshire

Close-up magicians for weddings and parties in Oxfordshire

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

Oxfordshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from The Tythe Barn and Ardington House to Merriscourt. Our magicians travel to towns across the area, including Oxford, Banbury and Witney, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more Oxfordshire venues below, including Caswell House, Hadsham Farm and Old Luxters Barn, each with its own page.

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.

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

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.

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.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
