Booking Magicians

When hiring a magician, there are several types of magic shows to consider. They include Close-up magic, Cabaret/stage magic, Grand Illusion magic, and Mentalism magic. Close-up magic, or "strolling magic" is suitable for smaller more intimate audiences such as banquets, cocktail parties, and hospitality suites. The magician goes from table to table and performs sleight of hand tricks using playing cards, coins and other small objects. Cabaret Magic, or Stage Show Magic is most often performed on a small stage, and is usually supplemented with comedy, music, and audience participation. Grand Illusion magic shows are performed by magicians on larger stages, and feature more elaborate magic acts such as sawing a person in half, making an audience member disappear, and escape artist tricks. Mentalism is a type of magic which focuses on mind reading, telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis and other psychic illusions. Professional magicians can also perform a "kids magic show" suitable for birthday parties and other events. Whether it's a tradeshow magician, corporate magician, party magician, or a comedy magician, you'll find one to suit your needs on GigMasters!

3. Book early. Professional magicians and throughout may need to be booked several months in advance.

4. Get a contract and read it carefully. Many professional magicians will also require a deposit in order to secure them.
