Magicians in Worcestershire

Hire a magician in Worcestershire

Every wedding has a gap while the photos are taken. In Worcestershire, a close-up magician fills it, moving between guests at the drinks reception and the tables at the wedding breakfast.

Popular wedding venues in Worcestershire include Abbey Hotel, Golf & Spa, Old Rectory House and Stanbrook Abbey Hotel, and our magicians travel to weddings and events across Worcester, Malvern and Redditch. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Eckington Manor, The Wood Norton and Curradine Barns are among the other Worcestershire venues listed further down, each with its own page.

Close-up magicians perform card tricks, sleight of hand and mind-reading effects a few inches from your guests, moving from group to group so everyone gets a turn. Some also perform a short stand-up set for the whole room.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every magician listed here travels to Worcestershire 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

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.

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.
