How much does a magician cost in 2026?

From close-up card magic between the tables to a full stage show — here is what hiring a professional magician realistically costs, in European guide prices in euros.

Magician

A magician is one of the most reliable ice-breakers you can book: strangers become a table of friends the moment a signed card ends up somewhere impossible. Across Europe, close-up magicians typically charge €400 to €700 for two hours of mix-and-mingle magic, while a full stage or parlour show ranges from €650 to €1,500.

Treat the figures below as indicative from-prices in euros. The exact fee depends on experience, performance length and travel — and because EuroActs charges no commission, the price you agree with the magician is the price you pay.

What affects the price of a magician?

  • Performance length: two hours of close-up costs less than covering a whole wedding day
  • The format — walkaround close-up magic, a parlour show, or a full stage act with props and sound
  • Experience and reputation: award-winning and TV-experienced magicians command higher fees
  • Audience size, which determines how much time and material the magician needs
  • Travel distance and premium dates such as Saturdays in wedding season and December

Tips for booking a magician

  • Book close-up magic for the drinks reception or between dinner courses — the moments guests need entertaining most
  • Watch performance videos on the magician's profile before you decide
  • Tell the magician about your audience: children, mixed ages or a corporate crowd all call for different material
  • A mind reader (mentalist) is a striking alternative for a mostly adult audience
  • Compare a few magicians directly through the platform — same act types can differ hundreds of euros in price
How long does a close-up magician perform?

Two hours is the common booking — enough to reach every table or group at a typical party. Longer bookings are usually charged at a lower hourly add-on rate.

Is a magician suitable for a corporate event?

Very much so. Mix-and-mingle magic gets strangers talking, which is exactly what receptions and networking events need. Many magicians also offer branded tricks for product launches.

What does a children's magician cost?

A 45-minute children's magic show typically costs €200 to €400, often with balloon modelling included. See our children's entertainment price guide for more.

Do I pay commission on the booking?

No. You agree the fee directly with the magician — EuroActs adds no commission and takes no cut.
