Where San Antonio events happen
River Walk hotels, historic venues, Hill Country ranches and estate properties.
Season & timing

Close-up or stage?

At trade shows and launches, a magician can draw a crowd to your booth and work your product or message into the act.

Hiring a magician in San Antonio: FAQ
How much does a magician cost in San Antonio?
Magicians set their own fees based on the type of show, length, date and travel, so we don't publish prices. Share your plans and we'll bring you San Antonio options and negotiate the booking.
What's the difference between a magician and a mentalist?
Magicians use sleight of hand and illusions; mentalists appear to read minds and predict choices. Mentalism is a big hit with corporate audiences.
Can a magician perform at a trade show?
Yes. Trade-show magicians draw crowds to your booth and can build your product or message into the act.
How long does a magic show last?
Strolling close-up magic usually runs 1–3 hours. Stage shows typically run 30–60 minutes.
Strolling magic or a stage show?
Strolling magic works best during mingling time. A stage show needs a seated audience and a set program slot. Many events book both from the same performer.
