A magician in Dubai has no single fixed price. Prices are custom and depend on what you ask for. As a guide, a kids magic show usually costs AED 1,200 to AED 3,500 for 30 to 60 minutes, and close-up magic usually costs AED 2,000 to AED 3,000 for 60 to 90 minutes. Stage shows, mentalism and corporate acts are quoted for each event. The sections below explain what moves the figure.
Usual price ranges
| Booking | Length | Usual price |
|---|---|---|
| Kids magic show, solo magician | 30 minutes | AED 1,200 to 1,800 |
| Kids magic show with more interaction | 45 minutes | AED 1,800 to 2,600 |
| Kids show with balloon twisting or a second act | 60 minutes | AED 2,500 to 3,500 |
| Close-up or walk-around magic | 60 to 90 minutes | AED 2,000 to 3,000 |
| Two magicians for a large group of children | 45 to 60 minutes | AED 3,500 to 5,500 |
| Stage, mentalism or corporate show | Varies | Quoted per event |
These ranges cover private and small to mid-sized corporate bookings across Dubai. They are a budget guide, not a fixed price.
1. The type of event
A kids party, a wedding and a product launch need different acts. A wedding may mix close-up magic with a short stage set. A corporate event may need a routine built around a brand or message. See corporate magicians.
2. The style of magic
- Close-up magic. The magician moves among the guests. See close-up magicians.
- Stage magic and illusions. Bigger props and more preparation. See magic shows.
- Mentalism. Mind reading for adults and corporate audiences. See mentalists.
- Kids shows. Built for the children's ages. See kids party magicians.
3. How long the magician performs
Short shows usually last 20 to 30 minutes. A full stage show can run an hour or more. A strolling close-up magician can be booked for a few hours. Longer bookings cost more.
4. The magician's experience
Magicians with more experience, a strong illusion act or a bilingual show in English and Arabic sit at the top of each range.
5. Venue, size and setup
A large room may need sound, lighting or a stage. Those logistics shape the arrangements and the quote.
6. Custom material
Your logo in a trick, a prediction about your theme, or a show built around the birthday child takes extra preparation, which can add to the price.
7. Travel and timing
Travel to Abu Dhabi or Al Ain usually adds a call out fee. So can a show that starts before 10am or runs past 9pm.
Ways to keep the cost down
- Book the length you really need. A 30 minute kids show suits young children.
- Use the venue's sound system for a stage show if it has one.
- Pick close-up magic for a small party. It needs no stage.
- Book early for Eid, National Day and school holidays, when more magicians are free.
