How Long Should I Book a Magician For?

Determining the Perfect Duration to Book a Magician

When planning your wedding, corporate event, or special celebration, hiring the right magician is crucial to creating memorable moments. One of the most common questions I get is: "How long should I book a magician for?" Understanding the ideal duration depends on several factors, including the number of guests, event schedule, and the type of entertainment you're seeking.

As a professional magician with over 16 years of experience, I often recommend allocating around 2 hours per 70 to 100+ guests. This timeframe allows me to move seamlessly between different groups, performing close-up magic that keeps everyone engaged and entertained throughout your event. Whether it's during a drinks reception, a meal, or as a dynamic stage show, the duration can be tailored to fit your event's specific needs.

Factors Influencing Performance Time

Several elements can influence how long you should book your magician. For example, if your event has a large guest list or multiple activities planned, extending the entertainment time ensures everyone gets a chance to witness the magic firsthand. Conversely, smaller or more structured events might only need an hour or so.

It's also important to consider the overall flow of your event. Booking a magician for the right amount of time can bridge gaps, entertain during downtimes, and keep the energy lively. I am always happy to discuss your plans and recommend a suitable timeframe that aligns with your schedule and budget.

Why Booking the Correct Duration Matters

Booking a magician for too short a period might result in guests feeling they've missed out on some of the magic, while booking excessively long can be unnecessary and may eat into your event timetable. Striking the right balance guarantees engaging entertainment without overwhelming your schedule.

Sample Timings for Different Events

Here are some typical scenarios to help you plan your booking:

• Wedding receptions: 2 hours is generally ideal, covering during the drinks reception and the first part of the meal or post-ceremony mingling.
• Corporate events and awards dinners: Allocate 2-3 hours, especially if you want to entertain during different segments such as networking, dinner, and after-dinner speeches.
• Parties and private celebrations: Usually 1-2 hours of entertainment works well, keeping the energy lively without overextending.

Remember, I also offer flexible options — whether you need quick bursts of magic for a watching audience or continuous interaction throughout your event. Visit my blog for more tips on how to maximise your entertainment and make your event truly special.
