Burton upon Trent Magician Hire Booking Guide

Everything you need to know about hiring a magician for weddings & parties in Burton upon Trent

Magicians offer a range of tricks and performances tailored to various event types, including weddings, parties, and corporate events. These performances typically contain a mix of sleight of hand, mentalism, and illusions, with close-up magicians focusing on one-to-one interactions with guests, while stage magicians perform more elaborate illusions for a larger audience, often in the style of an after-dinner cabaret show.

Close-up magic at events is popular because of its intimate and interactive nature, allowing guests to experience phenomenal magic up close and personal. This style of performance encourages interaction between the magician and the audience, as well as between guests, helping to break the ice, and creating memorable moments that leave a lasting impression.

This is a great way to break the ice and bring different guests together, interacting, and creating a talking point on your wedding day. Typically, magicians at weddings will perform for two hours, and will aim to have performed tricks for all of your guests by the time your reception finishes. A wedding magician is one of our most popular types of wedding entertainment.

Burton upon Trent Table Magicians

As the name suggests, Table magicians perform close-up magic tricks to guests who are seated at tables, usually before or during dinner.

Escapologist Magicians

An escapologist magician is a master of escaping from restraints, handcuffs, straitjackets, and other confinements, often in dramatic and suspenseful performances. Everyone’s heard of the famous escapologist Harry Houdini, who would escape from a straight jacket while submerged in water!

Street Magicians

A street magician (think about UK magician Dynamo) performs magic in public places like parks, streets, and markets, engaging with passers-by with interactive magic tricks that are often more intimate and interactive. Street magic transfers well to private events because of the opportunities for audience participation. Feedback from previous clients tells us that guests have really enjoyed this style of magic, and would recommend as a great ice-breaker.

Hypnotist Magicians

A hypnotist magician skilfully merges hypnosis with traditional magic tricks. Using hypnotic techniques, they induce a trance-like state in audience volunteers, allowing them to suggest and influence their perceptions and actions. In their routines, they may incorporate illusions that play on the altered state of consciousness, such as making people forget certain things, convincing them of false realities, or making them believe they possess extraordinary abilities.

Pickpocket Magicians

A pickpocket magician blends sleight of hand and misdirection to "steal" watches, wallets, and other items from unsuspecting volunteers, (all in good fun of course) leaving everyone amazed at their skilful manipulations.

Card Through Table
The magician selects a card, usually signed by a spectator, and then visibly pushes it through the surface of a table or solid object without causing any damage.
Coin Vanish
A coin is placed in the magician's hand and then seemingly disappears into thin air, only to reappear in another location or in the spectator's possession.
Penetration Effects
Various objects, such as rings or rubber bands, appear to penetrate through each other or solid surfaces, creating a visual illusion of impossible penetration.
The Ambitious Card
A chosen card repeatedly rises to the top of the deck, even after being placed in the middle or shuffled by the spectator, demonstrating the magician's control over the cards.
Cups and Balls
Miniature cups are used to cover balls, which magically appear, disappear, and multiply under the cups' cover, showcasing the magician's skill in sleight of hand and misdirection.
Ring and String
A borrowed ring is threaded onto a string or shoelace, which then visibly penetrates through the ring before being magically restored to its original state.
Three-Card Monte
A classic gambling-themed trick where the spectator must guess which of three cards is the target card, only to be deceived by the magician's sleight of hand and misdirection.
Floating or Levitating Object
Small objects, such as a ring or coin, appear to float or levitate in mid-air, seemingly defying gravity under the magician's control.
Invisible Deck
A spectator selects a card from an "invisible" deck, and the magician reveals the chosen card despite not physically handling any cards, creating a baffling illusion of mind reading.
Haunted Deck
A deck of cards seemingly comes to life as the chosen card eerily rises out of the deck, guided by invisible forces, before returning to its place in the deck.

Once again, renowned stage magicians will all develop their own signature illusions, but here are some of the most iconic stage magic tricks:

Sawing a Person in Half
A staple of stage magic, the magician saws a person, usually a female assistant, in half while she lies in a box, only to magically restore her unharmed.
The Disappearing Car / Elephant / Plane
This grand illusion involves making a large object like a car, elephant or even a plane - vanish from a stage or platform, often using curtains or elaborate props to create the illusion of the object’s disappearance.
The Bullet Catch
A daring and dangerous trick where a magician catches a marked bullet fired from a gun, typically using a specially designed device or sleight of hand to create the illusion.
The Houdini Straitjacket Escape
Made famous by legendary magician Harry Houdini, this escape involves being strapped into a straitjacket and suspended upside down, only to wriggle free in a thrilling display of skill and daring.
The Linking Rings
A classic manipulation trick where solid metal rings appear to link and unlink magically in the magician's hands, showcasing deft sleight of hand and timing.
The Floating or Levitating Woman
In this illusion, a woman appears to float or levitate above the stage, seemingly defying gravity as she hovers in mid-air.
The Zig Zag Girl
A popular stage illusion where a woman is placed in a cabinet and divided into three sections with blades, only to be magically reassembled unharmed.
The Cups and Balls
A timeless sleight of hand routine where balls appear, disappear, and multiply under three cups, showcasing the magician's skill in misdirection and manipulation.
