Typical costs: 1  While some magicians quote prices by the event, such as a birthday party, others charge a set hourly rate. 2  A birthday party magic show lasting 30 to 45 minutes typically costs $175 to $350. 3  A magician typically costs $150 to $500 per hour.
Based on some recent research I did with other magicians and agents the average price for 2 hours of close up magic performed in the south-east is between Â£300-500. There are also close up magicians who are prepared to perform for Â£50 pounds and a meal and others who charge well over Â£1000.
