Check Testimonials
Let’s be real—booking entertainment is not the time to take a gamble. Reviews and testimonials are your secret weapon. A quick look at their Google reviews, Yelp, or video testimonials will show you if the magician delivers jaw-dropping moments. Imagine your guests laughing and being amazed—that’s what you want. A magician who consistently wows their audience will bring that same energy to your event, whether it’s a corporate cocktail hour or a private celebration.
Connect with Them
While emails are good for the basics, a quick phone or video chat will give you a much better sense of the performer. In just 10 minutes, you’ll know if they’re the right fit. Plus, this is your chance to get a feel for their performance style and ask any important questions. After the call, you’ll feel confident that the magician “gets” your event and can deliver an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s a mentalist working the crowd or a magician dazzling your guests, making that personal connection is key.
Align Your Budget with the Magic
Hiring a magician or mentalist in NYC can range from $500 to $5,000+, depending on experience, location, and the type of performance. While it’s tempting to go with the cheapest option, think about the kind of experience you want. Do you want “just okay” or “WOW!” moments? Investing in a skilled performer who knows how to entertain will be worth every penny. Once you find someone who fits your vision, book them quickly before someone else does!
Final Thoughts
In a nutshell, booking a magician or mentalist doesn’t have to be complicated. Just follow these tips: check reviews, have a quick chat, and make sure your budget matches the experience you want. Easy, right?
