Choosing the Right Magician Hire

Kids' entertainer or corporate icebreaker – which one are you after? Magicians in Sydney tend to work one of two formats: a stage-style show with tricks, comedy and audience participation for a kids' birthday party, or close-up, walk-around magic that moves between small groups at a corporate cocktail event, performing card and coin tricks up close.

A kids' party show of around 45 to 60 minutes typically costs $350 to $700
Corporate close-up magic is usually priced by the hour and runs $500 up to $1,200 or more, depending on group size and length
Confirm which format suits your event before comparing prices – a stage act quoted for a mingling event isn't the same booking as a close-up act quoted for a seated show
For kids' bookings, confirm the magician holds a current Working With Children Check
Ask to see video of them performing live, rather than judging on promotional photos alone – a magic act lives or dies on timing, which stills don't show

Kids' party stage show – tricks, comedy and audience participation built around a group of children, the most common format for a birthday party
Corporate close-up magic – walk-around card and coin tricks that move between small groups at a cocktail event, working well as an icebreaker
Combined kids' party add-ons – some magicians also offer balloon twisting or a short workshop alongside the main show, similar to how a balloon artist is sometimes booked alongside a magician for the same party

Magician Pricing Breakdown

A kids' party show sits at $350 to $700 as noted above, generally a flat fee for the 45 to 60 minute set rather than priced by the hour
Corporate close-up magic is priced by the hour at $500 to $1,200 or more, since the magician is actively working the room for the full booking rather than performing one fixed show
Longer corporate bookings (a full cocktail hour versus a shorter icebreaker slot) sit at the higher end of that range
Ask whether travel is included in the quote if your event is outside the inner city, since some magicians charge a call-out fee for further-out suburbs

Magicians: Your Questions Answered

Do they perform a stage show or close-up, walk-around magic?

Sydney magicians usually work one format or the other – a stage-style show with tricks and audience participation suits a kids' birthday, while close-up magic that moves between small groups suits a corporate cocktail event. Confirm which one you're booking, since a stage act quoted for a mingling event isn't the same booking as a close-up act for a seated show.

Does the magician hold a current Working With Children Check?

For any kids' booking, confirm the magician holds a current Working With Children Check before booking.

How long does a typical kids' party show run for?

A kids' party magic show generally runs 45 to 60 minutes.

Can we see video of them actually performing live?

Ask to see video of the magician performing live rather than judging on promotional photos alone – a magic act lives or dies on timing, which stills don't show.

How is corporate close-up magic priced compared to a kids' show?

Corporate close-up magic is usually priced by the hour, from around $500 up to $1,200 or more depending on group size and length, whereas a kids' party show is typically a flat fee for a 45 to 60 minute set.

Can a magician also bring balloon twisting or another add-on to a kids' party?

Some magicians offer this as a combined booking, similar to how a balloon artist is sometimes booked alongside a magician for the same party – ask when you enquire whether this is available.

Does the quote include travel, or is there a call-out fee for suburbs outside the inner city?

This varies by magician – some quotes include travel across greater Sydney, others charge a call-out fee for further-out suburbs. Confirm this if your event isn't in the inner city.
