The 5 Best Magicians in Perth Who’ll Leave You Spellbound and Grinning

  • Event Versatility: Our team checked which performers offer distinct packages for children's parties, roving wedding entertainment, and seated corporate shows so you don't book the wrong style.

  • Crowd Size and Format: We looked closely at each magician's group size limits and whether they mingle between tables or need a dedicated seating area.

  • Technical Setup Needs: Our team checked who brings amplification and who requires you to sort out the sound system yourself before the show starts.

  • Booking and Availability: We looked at how each business handles enquiries, their typical reply times, and whether they can take calls outside normal business hours.

  • Specialised Skills and Checks: Our team also checked for practical credentials like public liability insurance and safety clearances for kids' events.

Nothing kills the vibe at a wedding reception or work gala faster than guests staring at their phones while waiting for food to arrive. 

The best entertainers can work a room and fix that dead air right away, so our team compared packages, performance styles, and availability across the metro. 

Now, here are the best magicians in Perth, and who each one suits best.

Address: 20 Claude Street, Burswood

Contact: +61 456 777 240

Hours: Available 24/7

Pierre Ulric Mysteries stands out as a versatile illusionist and speaker who covers every format with a single booking. 

For cocktail hours, he can move from table to table, getting guests to laugh and interact through close-up magic.

If you have a larger seated crowd, you can book his 45-minute platform show, which includes music and amplification for audiences of 50 to over 1,000 people.

For smaller business workshops or private dinners, his 45-minute parlour performance offers psychological illusions and plenty of audience participation in a more intimate setting.

When we spoke to their staff, they explained how these formats can work for mixed-age celebrations. They also highlighted their 24/7 availability.

However, rates start at around $649 AUD on local booking platforms.

Additionally, his intimate close-up show is limited to 50 guests, so larger groups may need to opt for the full stage package instead.

Pros

  • Multiple performance formats available
  • Suitable for small and large crowds
  • Interactive magic keeps guests entertained
  • Flexible scheduling with 24/7 availability

Cons

  • Rates start at $649 AUD
  • Close-up shows limited to 50 guests

Customer Reviews

Absolutely phenomenal!

Absolutely phenomenal! We honestly have no idea how he did it. His magic completely blew us away and had everyone questioning reality! The tricks were incredible, completely unexpected and left us speechless.

He was brilliant at working the room, engaging everyone and creating those unforgettable moments that had people talking about them all night.

Pierre is an amazing entertainer and the guests at my 50th party were raving about him

Pierre is an amazing entertainer and the guests at my 50th party were raving about him during and after the event. He easily alternated between close up magic with small groups and getting the whole crowd involved. Pierre was at ease with young children, older relatives and everyone in between. I love magic but wasn’t sure how other guests would respond. Luckily I went ahead and booked because everyone was blown away by his act.

2. Perth Magician – MAGIC DALE

perth-magician-magic-dale

Website: http://www.magicdale.com/

Address: Based in Perth

Contact: +61 451 313 319

Hours: Schedule service through the enquiry form: https://magicdale.com/contact/#contactform

Magic Dale has over 10 years of full-time performing experience across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and America. 

His kids’ birthday shows lean on visual routines using lollipops, Rubik’s Cubes, ropes, and levitation illusions that keep parents just as hooked as the children.

If you’re hosting an adult birthday, wedding reception, or corporate Christmas party, he switches gears to mind reading and coin tricks that happen right in your guests’ hands. 

And with mid-range roving rates sitting around $390 AUD, you get an experienced performer who knows how to work a room without needing a formal stage.

That said, he doesn’t offer big stage-show magic. To add, appointments from corporate clients can sometimes eat into slots for birthday parties. 

Pros

  • Over 10 years of experience
  • Entertaining shows for kids and adults
  • Interactive close-up magic tricks
  • Affordable mid-range roving performance rates

Cons

  • No large-scale stage show options
  • Corporate bookings may limit availability

Customer Reviews

Service Area: Australia and International areas

Contact: +61 430 198 713

Hours: Schedule service through: https://www.magictoby.com/hire-perth-magician/

Hosting a multicultural wedding or an international corporate conference can leave non-English speakers feeling left out of the fun.

Toby Z. Magic steps in with sophisticated close-up and stage routines performed in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. That bilingual skill means every table gets pulled into the conversation without anyone needing a translator to follow the punchline.

He brings over 17 years of experience to the job and logs more than 140 events a year.  He even regularly headlines his own solo parlour show at the Perth Fringe World Festival. 

A friend of mine caught one of his festival sets and mentioned how smoothly he combines stage elements with interactive crowd moments that get the whole room talking.

On the flip side, his international touring schedule can tighten up his local calendar in Perth. And you may have to wait up to 24 hours for an enquiry reply.

Pros

  • Fluent in three performance languages
  • Over 17 years of experience
  • Performs at over 140 events yearly
  • Engaging stage and close-up magic

Cons

  • Limited availability due to touring
  • Enquiry replies may take 24 hours

Customer Reviews

I absolutely recommend him to anyone

Toby performed roving magic during the cocktail hour of our wedding and I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to add a bit of fun, energy and atmosphere to an event.

Toby was great to deal with in the lead up and was always very responsive and organised.

10/10 no flaws I will be booking him again ❤️

I asked him to join us as a surprise for all of our guests I didn’t tell ANYONE and boy were they surprised 😂 all of our guests came up to us after to rave about Toby and each person had a different story for a different trick he used. He has sooo much variety and showmanship! He made our day unbelievably special and I can’t recommend him enough! His tricks were amazing and genuinely blew our minds I think he’s ACTUALLY magic. 10/10 no flaws I will be booking him again ❤️

4. Pop Magic – Perth

pop-magic-perth

Website: http://www.popmagicperth.com.au/

Address: 9B Woodlands Grove, Hocking

Contact: (+61) 0412 485 615

Hours: Available 24/7

Pop Magic brings costumed characters like Santa Claus, a Pirate, the Easter Bunny, a Wizard, and Professor Shumway straight to your venue. 

Beyond costumed children’s shows, they also offer roving close-up magic for adult birthdays and weddings. 

Plus, they do balloon twisting that saves you from hiring a second entertainer to keep younger kids busy. 

Parents and school organisers get extra peace of mind too, since the performer holds both a Working with Children Check and public liability insurance.

And having 24/7 booking availability makes it easy for busy parents to sort out party plans late at night once the kids are asleep.

However, you need to keep your event schedule tight because any delay in your start time will usually cut into the length of the performance.

Additionally, clients hosting larger events must install their own sound system. 

Pros

  • Fun costumed character entertainment options
  • Magic shows for kids and adults
  • Balloon twisting included for children
  • Child safety checks and insurance

Cons

  • Delays can shorten performance time
  • Larger events require their own sound system

Customer Reviews

Vince was professional, friendly and wonderful with the children

We had Vince from Pop Magic at our Hexagon office for a Family Day in Perth, and he was absolutely fantastic!

He arrived ahead of schedule, was well prepared, and made everything easy from the start. The magic show was engaging, interactive and entertaining for both children and adults, with everyone laughing and getting involved. The balloon twisting was a huge hit, and the kids were thrilled with their amazing creations.

Vince was professional, friendly and wonderful with the children. 

We highly recommend Vince and Pop Magic for any childcare or children’s event

Vince did such a great job tailoring the session to suit a group of varied ages, keeping everyone engaged, entertained and laughing throughout. His ability to connect with the children and make the experience enjoyable for everyone was wonderful.

We highly recommend Vince and Pop Magic for any childcare or children’s event.

5. Perth Magician – James Diamond Magic

perth-magician-james-diamond-magic

Website: https://www.jamesdiamondmagic.com/

Address: Based in Perth

Contact: +61 414 690 484

Hours: Schedule service through contact or website booking form (in the front page)

James Diamond Magic focuses on roving close-up magic, giving small groups of guests a front-row view of every trick.

His style combines comedy with modern magic, so guests can laugh, interact, and enjoy the show right away.

Another plus is that he doesn’t need special lighting, a stage, or a sound system. You can book him for an outdoor garden wedding, a busy bar, or a charity dinner without worrying about extra setup costs.

His low-fuss approach also works well for cocktail receptions and milestone birthdays, especially when guests are spread across indoor and outdoor spaces.

But keep in mind that he focuses on roving and close-up magic rather than large stage illusions. His modern comedic style may also disappoint hosts who prefer a more traditional magician with classic top-hat tricks.

Pros

  • Entertaining comedy and close-up magic
  • No stage or equipment required
  • Ideal for indoor and outdoor events
  • Encourages guest interaction and laughter

Cons

  • No large-scale stage illusion shows
  • Modern style may not suit traditional tastes

Customer Reviews

We’d happily recommend James to anyone looking to add something fun, unique and effortless to their event. Thanks again for being such a pleasure to work with!

We’re so glad he was a part of our party
