They can cater for all ages, races and cultures.
There are different types of magicians that you can book. There are Close-up Magicians or table magicians who are ideal for pretty much any event. They can work their magic around tables or even as one on one, creating a great atmosphere for everyone and a talking point for your guests. Booking a magician for your wedding is a really great way to make your day that extra bit special, a brilliant way to keep you and your guests entertained during any gaps, (ie during your photos) and to create wonderful memories for all. It can be a daunting task booking the right magician for your big day, and the last thing you want is a scruffy amateur with no style, class or personality showing your guests few tricks their grandad once taught them! So here are some questions and facts you might want answering first before you book:
Close up & Table Magicians:
Can move and mingle between groups of guests as they stand, maybe during a drinks reception, or they can perform to groups of people sat around a table during a meal. The great thing about booking a close up table magician is that they are flexible, easy to work with and they will cater their show to ensure your requirements are met.
How long should you book a Close up Table Magician for?
Franklin James can advise you on the standard durations, but really it comes down to what you want and need on your day. It can vary depending on how many guests you have attending your wedding, and any other time constraints on your day. Usually, it works out as 2 hours performance for 70- 100 guests.
Pricing
It’s likely you have a budget in place for your wedding day so the price for hiring a magician will of course be taken into consideration and is important. It would not be a good idea however, to just go with the cheapest magician you can find. You are better having the added security of booking through an entertainment agency who work with their wedding magicians on a regular basis, they have reviews, testimonials and information about them and the entertainment will always have a back-up should anything happen in an emergency on your day! If you want quality, expect to pay in the region of £250 – £500 for two hours of close-up magic, depending on the magician, travel and other aspects.
Professionals
All of the magicians that we work with are full time professionals, with full public liability insurance in place. Should a venue or client request a copy, Franklin James are more than happy to send this over.
