    CW Magic FAQs

    Why should we book you?

    Being a magician is my full-time job which means I live and breathe magic. I am constantly creating and designing magic, not just to perform at events but also for film, theatre and television. This means you will witness magic that no other magician (including those in the Magic Circle) has ever performed. I have had the privilege of performing for a number of celebrities and received high praise.

    I will bring my dynamic personality to the performance as well as involve your guests in a way that is tasteful, entertaining and will bring your event to life. As an independent magician, I will ensure that the magic is tailored to your requirements, whether it be a formal and elegant wedding or an informal friendly gathering.

    How long do you stay at the events?

    When you search for “Magicians near me,” you’re most likely expecting someone to perform a few quick tricks and disappear. But when you choose CW Magic, I will take my time and make the performances worthwhile.

    I don’t charge by the hour unlike other magicians as on occasion unexpected things happen causing delays. You would be disappointed if I only performed for a short period of time and said I’m leaving when you’ve had an hour or so of delays.

    My performance lasts as long or as short as you desire and typically fits the flow of the event. For example, if you’re looking for table magic during the meal, my performance will last the duration of the meal – whether that’s 90 minutes or 2 hours.

    At what point in the party do you usually start your magic?

    That’s totally up to you. The beauty of magic is that it can practically be performed anywhere at any time! So if you want me to perform tricks during a drinks reception or after dinner, I can certainly do that. It all depends on the nature of your event and your requirements. So it’s best to get in touch with me to discuss what time or point in your event will work well for you.

    How much do you charge?

    When you choose to book with CW Magic, you’ll get a fantastic performance that’s worth every penny. The price will depend on a number of factors such as date, number of guests attending, location, duration of the performance, type of performance required for the event.

    In general, you can expect to pay £400+ for a full-time professional magician with celebrity clientele and lots of great reviews. If you break that down, it’s probably the equivalent of £4 – £10 per person (depending on the number of guests attending). Feel free to contact me directly for a quote for your specific event.

    How much does a wedding magician cost?

    The cost of a wedding magician will typically depend on the size of the event including the number of guests attending. You can expect to pay anything between £400 – £2000, depending on several factors including the type of magic, the magician’s experience, the event location and booking period.

    Are you a good children’s entertainer?

    Absolutely. I have performed for tons of children’s parties and hosted many magic lessons for kids from the age of 4. As an expert children’s entertainer, I will make your child’s birthday party super magical and memorable as well as add that special touch to the celebration. If your child is having a themed party, I can create my performance around it. From Harry Potter and Marvel to princesses and pirates, my magic will be creative, entertaining and in keeping with the theme. Whether you’re hosting the party at home, a restaurant or event venue, a birthday party magician will be the highlight of the day!

Hi Chris, just a quick one to say a big thank you for performing at Anna’s magic lesson party. All the girls had a great time and I’ve had lots of really positive feedback from the other mums who have all been treated to magic shows. The magic lesson and show was perfect and I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking for something different for a party.

Caroline, Adrian and Anna

Hi Christopher, thank you for entertaining us on Saturday. All of us were absolutely amazed at your fantastic magic – it really made the evening and was the icing on my birthday cake. Amazing and brilliant professional deception at its very best.

Nish Patel

Hi Christopher, just a short note to thank you for a wonderful evening of entertainment at Jane’s birthday party last weekend. It was just what the party needed and the guests were all talking about the magic for the rest of the evening. We felt truly entertained.

Alan Curtis

Dear Chris, We cannot thank you enough for captivating the attention and imaginations of the children at Jack’s 8th birthday party. Inspiring them from the outset with your flame and card tricks, you engaged every single child from start to finish and the way you kept them all focused and disciplined was really impressive.

I had several texts from parents the following day to say that their children had been practising what you had taught them and I think that that is perhaps the greatest testament of all to a successful and memorable party. Best wishes & huge thanks. It couldn’t have been better.

Sarah

Hi Chris. A quick note to say that WOW is just an understatement, you were incredible last night! The BEST magic I have seen for a very long time. Certainly created a buzz and our guests loved it.
