Oli the magician was amazing! So great with the kids, so funny, and he had all the adults scratching their heads in confusion trying to figure it out.

Magic Shows FAQs

Everything you need to know before you book.

Ask us a question
How much do magic shows cost?

Magic shows on Yombu start at $265 per show nationwide. Each city page shows its own live floor, and you always see the exact total before you pay. Outside Yombu, published rates for a magic show typically run $200–$400 a show for a kids party (GigSalad and Bark, 2025–26).

How long is a kids magic show?

Most kids magic shows run 30 to 60 minutes — GigSalad's booking data and a working magician's pricing guide both put the typical show there. Allow setup time on top: one Kansas City magician whose packages run 30 and 45 minutes arrives about 20 to 25 minutes early to set up.

How far ahead should I book a kids magician?

Four to six weeks ahead for a weekend show. That's the advice one long-running Kansas City kids magician gives on his own booking page, and weekdays or short notice are often still workable.

What ages is a kids magic show best for?

Kids about 4 to 12. Comedy magic shows are tuned for that range, and the magician adjusts the routine on the day to match the youngest and oldest guests in the room.

What space does a magic show need?

About eight feet by eight feet of cleared floor, with the kids sitting on the floor facing it. That's the space one Kansas City magician asks for, and a living room, backyard or party room all work well.

How do I book magic shows near me?

Pick your city on this page, compare vetted local kids magicians by their real rates and availability, and book online. Every booking is confirmed before you pay, and your payment is held until after the party.

Are magic shows available in my city yet?

Yes, in 12 cities so far: kids magicians are live on Yombu in Miami, New York, Atlanta and 9 more. Elsewhere, tell us your date on the entertainers page and we'll match you with a local kids magician the moment one is confirmed.

Are Yombu entertainers vetted and insured?

Yes. Every kids magician on Yombu is background-checked and insured before they can accept a booking, and your payment is held until after the party.

What should I expect from magic shows?

A magic show is typically a 30–60 minute booking: a rehearsed comedy set with the birthday kid as the star assistant. A kids' magician runs a tight, interactive comedy-magic set built for short attention spans — silly bits, plenty of audience participation, and the birthday child pulled up as the star assistant. Shows usually run 30–60 minutes and end with a room full of "how did they DO that?".
