Magicians in the South West

Find magicians for your wedding or event in the South West

Finding the right magician is easier when you can see every option in one place. This page covers all of the South West, from Plymouth, Bath, Harbourside, Gloucester, Salisbury and Truro, and every act listed travels to venues across the region for drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and corporate dinners.

This region page covers Bristol, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

Venues across the South West include ANRÁN at Tidwell Farm, Priston Mill, Goldney Hall, Cripps Barn, Grittleton House and Nancarrow Farm. It's worth asking yours early about finish times and any sound limiter, as both affect what works on the night.

The category covers close-up and table magicians and mind readers. Their pages show exactly what each one plays, so you can match the act to your guests and your venue.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment since 1999. Every magician listed here covers the South West, and travel is included in the quote you receive. Use the instant quote button on this page to check prices and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £350 to £800, depending on line-up, date and how long the act plays
  • Always included: travel, in every quote
  • Acts travel to venues right across the South West
  • Summer Saturdays and December dates book up first
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

The South West is a large area, so it's worth mentioning your venue's exact location when you enquire. Acts based nearby often have more availability and more experience of local venues, and we'll point you towards them.

Most bookings fall between £350 and £800. The size of the line-up is the biggest factor, followed by the date and how long the act plays. Travel is included in the quote, so the figure you're given is the figure you pay, wherever you are in the South West.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the actual line-up you'd be booking, with videos, audio and a song list. Underneath are reviews from clients, often at venues you'll recognise.

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 event. 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.
