Sydney Magician & Mentalist Pricing Guide

Understanding the Cost of Hiring a Magician in Sydney

Magicians and mentalists in Sydney generally fall into three pricing tiers. The cost is influenced by experience, reputation, event type, and trust level. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

Beginner Magicians – $300 to $600 per hour

This tier includes new or part-time performers who may still be refining their craft. While they can be entertaining, they typically lack the polished performance skills and audience engagement techniques required for high-end corporate or private events.

• Ideal for small parties, casual events, and budget-friendly entertainment

• Typically 1-5 years of experience

• May rely more on standard tricks rather than personalized performances

Mid TIer - Advanced Magicians – $700 to $1,300 per hour

At this price point, you’re hiring a professional who has established themselves in the industry. These magicians or mentalists have refined their performance skills, mastered their craft, and can confidently engage and impress diverse audiences.

• Ideal for weddings, corporate events, and milestone birthdays

• Usually 5-15 years of experience

• Strong stage presence, audience interaction, and high-quality effects

• Most professional mentalists fall into this category

High Tier - Pro-Level Mentalists & Magicians – $1,400+ per hour

While the level of skill is similar to advanced magicians, the main reason for the increase in price is simply the level of demand. Andy the mentalist falls into this category of performer.

This tier is for elite performers , who deliver premium experiences tailored to high-end clients. These professionals have built a reputation through corporate keynotes, TV appearances, and large-scale performances.

• Ideal for luxury events, high-profile corporate functions, and exclusive parties

• Typically 15+ years of experience

• Offers bespoke performances, personalized effects, and psychological illusions

• High trust level, often performing for A-list clients and Fortune 500 companies

The Real Difference Between Mid-Tier and High-Tier Magicians

The gap between a $1,000 magician and a $2,000 magician isn’t skill. It’s demand.

Most full-time professionals fall into the $700 to $1,300 per hour range. They’re experienced, reliable, and great at what they do. You’re getting someone who can read the room, hold attention, and deliver a solid performance — ideal for weddings, corporate events, and private parties.

But once you step into the $1,400+ per hour bracket, it’s no longer just about magic. It’s about the person.

People in this tier aren’t being hired just because they’re good — they’re being hired because they’re wanted. Clients know them by name. They’re trusted to elevate the entire experience. It’s not “find a magician.” It’s “we want that mentalist.”

Andy the Mentalist works with clients who book him exclusively for their events. From law firms and tech companies to high-end private hosts, they don’t just want a show — they want Andy. They know he’ll show up, engage the room, and leave people talking.

It’s not about more tricks. It’s about trust, reputation, and a one-of-a-kind experience people ask for by name.
