How to Hire a Magician

Finding a good one is not an easy task. It’s not like hiring a plumber; every performer is different.

1.

Specialization

You want a performer who specializes in your exact type of event. You do not want a general practitioner or someone who performs “for all ages and events.”

2.

Ask a lot of questions!

Is the show age-appropriate? Are there hidden fees? Do we need to supply anything? Can we take pictures and video? How many shows do you perform in a month?

3.

You Get What You Pay For

Like any other service, you get what you pay for. If a performer is only charging $150 for an appearance, there is a reason why.

4.

Get everything in writing

Demand a letter of confirmation or a contract. At least three times a month I get phone calls from people whose entertainers have canceled on them at the last minute. You do not want to be in this situation!
