Hire a Table
Magician

A table magician performs close-up magic at your guests' tables during a sit-down meal. Working table to table in the gaps between courses, each group gets their own private performance of sleight of hand, mind reading, and comedy - right under their noses. No stage, no microphone, just jaw-dropping magic inches from their face.

The go-to standard for a professional table magician is around the £500 mark. Prices vary depending on the event, the number of guests, and the package you choose. I send a full pricing PDF with packages the moment you enquire. For a deeper dive, read my blog post on how much a close-up magician costs.

Absolutely - the wedding breakfast is one of the most popular times to have a table magician for your wedding. I work between courses while guests are seated, giving each table its own show. It's also brilliant during the photos when guests are waiting around with nothing to do. Find out more on my wedding magician page.

As a rough guide, one table magician can comfortably cover 80-100 guests over a two-hour period. For larger events, I have a handpicked team of table magicians who deliver the same standard I do - so nobody misses out.

Never. I only perform in the gaps between courses - when plates have been cleared and the next course hasn't arrived yet. Nobody wants a magician hovering over them while they're trying to eat their starter. Timing is everything, and 28 years of doing this means I read the room and get it right every time.

You just did. I'm based in the Midlands and perform as a table magician at events across the entire UK - from London to Leeds, Birmingham to Bristol, and everywhere in between. Distance is never a problem. If you're planning a sit-down event, I'll be there. You can also find me on Google Maps.

A table magician is a close-up magician - just in a specific setting. "Table magician" refers to performing at guests' tables during a seated meal. "Close-up magician" is the broader term that also covers mix and mingle during drinks receptions, standing events, and other formats. Same skills, different context.

Absolutely. Private dinner parties are some of my favourite events. Groups of 10-30 around a single table or a couple of tables - everyone gets the full experience and the atmosphere is incredible. Birthdays, anniversaries, dinner with friends - whatever the occasion, table magic makes it unforgettable. See my party magician page for more.

As far as you can. Weekend dates - especially Saturdays - book up fast. I'd recommend getting in touch as soon as you have a date. That said, I do occasionally have last-minute availability, so it's always worth asking.

Yes - £5m public liability insurance. Fully covered, fully legit, and a requirement for most venues. One less thing for you to worry about.
