ROUGH MARKET GUIDE
WHAT SHOULD YOU
BUDGET?
A rough guide for professional close-up entertainment. Actual pricing depends on the job.
Timing, guest numbers and how much of the day you want covered all matter.
Large events, stage work, branding and complex schedules can push fees higher.
WHAT CHANGES THE PRICE?
NOT ALL
BOOKINGS ARE THE SAME.
The number on the clock is only part of it.
- Event type: weddings, corporate schedules and private parties all work differently.
- Performance time: most close-up bookings sit somewhere around one to three hours.
- Guest numbers: a room of 40 people is a different job from a room of 400.
- Format: close-up, tables, stage magic, mind reading or a combination.
- Travel: Brighton and Sussex are Phil’s home ground; further travel can affect the quote.
- Experience: reviews, reliability, insurance and the ability to handle a live room are part of what you are buying.
PRICE FAQ
STRAIGHT
ANSWERS.
How much does a magician cost in Brighton?
For weddings, corporate events and private parties, a rough professional-market guide is around £350 to £1,500+, depending on event type, performance time, guest numbers, travel and the performer’s experience.
How much does a wedding magician cost?
Wedding fees vary with timings and coverage. Drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and evening arrivals can all require different amounts of performance time, so a tailored quote is more useful than a single fixed number.
Do magicians charge by the hour?
Some bookings are priced around a time window, but the fee also reflects preparation, travel, event complexity and experience. Two jobs of the same length can still be very different bookings.
How do I get an exact price from Phil?
Send the date, venue, event type, guest numbers and rough timings through the enquiry form. Phil can then recommend the right format and quote for the actual event.
