Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a private magic performance last?
For close-up magic, performances typically run between 1 to 3 hours, depending on your guest numbers and venue layout. For stand-up or cabaret-style magic, we usually deliver a single 45 to 60-minute set, perfect for gathering everyone together after dinner or speeches. We’ll always recommend the best format and timing based on your event flow.

What type of magic do you perform?
We offer a mix of close-up, walkaround, and stand-up/cabaret-style magic — all tailored to your space and audience. Every performance is interactive, engaging, and designed to leave guests amazed and entertained.

Is it suitable for all ages?
Yes. Our shows are carefully tailored to suit your guest list — whether it’s a family gathering with kids, an adult dinner party, or a mixed-age celebration.

Do I need to provide any equipment or staging?
No equipment or special setup is needed. We perform in all types of venues — including homes, gardens, restaurants, marquees, and private dining spaces — using minimal space and no staging unless requested.

Are your magicians insured? Do they need DBS checks?
Yes — all our magicians are fully insured with Public Liability Insurance (PLI), which is a requirement for most private venues.
A DBS check is not typically required, as our performers do not work with children unsupervised — but many do hold current DBS certificates for added reassurance.

How far in advance should I book?
As early as possible — especially for peak weekends, bank holidays, and December dates. That said, we can occasionally accommodate last-minute bookings, so it’s always worth asking.

What areas do you cover?
We’re based in the UK and perform at private events nationwide — including London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, and surrounding regions. We regularly travel for private parties, and travel costs are always clearly outlined in advance.
