Party packages & pricing
2 Hour Stress-Free Party Package
The flagship, and built so the parent does not have to run anything. Two hours hosted start to finish: a 45-minute mini illusion show in which the birthday child floats in the air, a balloon model made on the spot for every child, and high-energy games with a prize for everyone — designed so no child is ever knocked out. He brings the sound system, the party music and the disco lights. No limit on numbers, and the price does not change however many children come.
- Price: £250 £250
- Ages: 4–10
Magic Workshop Party
For older children who would rather do the magic than watch it. Jared performs grown-up close-up sleight-of-hand and mind-reading, then teaches the group to perform it themselves — vanishing an object, moving a paperclip with the mind, teleporting something, finding a chosen card. Every child keeps the props. Popular for sleepovers. He brings everything, including the table.
- Price: £200 £200
- Ages: 8–13
Mystery and Magic Show
The shortest show, and the one that fits in a front room. Thirty minutes of interactive magic with heaps of audience participation — the children help make objects appear, vanish, teleport and transform. Needs about one metre by three of performance space plus room for the children to sit.
- Price: £125 £125
- Ages: 4–10
Mini Illusion Show
Forty-five minutes with larger-scale props and a much bigger feel than the 30-minute show — and this is the one where the birthday child floats in the air. It still fits in a front room, needing about one metre by four of performance space. This is the show that sits inside the two-hour party package.
- Price: £150 £150
- Ages: 4–10
Children's Illusion Show
The full production, and one of only a handful of illusion acts in the country built for children. An hour of large-scale magic with a starlight backdrop, stage lighting and a sound system that turns the room into a small theatre. This one needs a hall, a large room or an outdoor space — about two and a half by five metres, with parking and 45 minutes to set up.
- Price: £250 £250
- Ages: 4–10
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a party cost?
- The 2 Hour Stress-Free Party Package is £250 and is the most popular option. Individual shows are £125 for the 30-minute Mystery and Magic Show, £150 for the 45-minute Mini Illusion Show and £250 for the full one-hour Children's Illusion Show. The Magic Workshop Party for older children is £200. Balloon modelling can be added to any show for £30.
- Do prices go up at weekends?
- No, and this is unusual. Prices do not go up at weekends or on peak dates, and there are discounts for midweek parties. He charges a flat rate plus travel for longer distances.
- Is there a limit on the number of children?
- No. There is no cap and the price does not change with the number of children — invite as many as you like. He has run a party for sixty. For fifteen or more he suggests a hall rather than a front room.
- What ages are the shows for?
- The magic shows are pitched at children aged four to ten. The Magic Workshop Party is for older children, recommended from eight and adapted for anywhere between eight and thirteen.
- Is the birthday child really levitated?
- In the Mini Illusion Show and the full Illusion Show the birthday child floats in the air. They are also turned into a magician during the show and perform the final trick themselves, without knowing how they did it.
- What happens at the Magic Workshop Party?
- He performs grown-up close-up magic and mind-reading, then teaches the children to do it themselves — making something vanish, moving a paperclip with their mind, teleporting an object, finding a chosen card. All the props are supplied and every child takes theirs home. It is popular for sleepovers.
- What do the children take home?
- Every child gets a balloon model made for them at the party, not pre-made, and a prize from the games — the games are designed so that nobody is ever knocked out. The birthday child gets a special balloon. Only biodegradable latex balloons are used.
- Is food or cake provided?
- No. You provide the venue, the food, the cake and the party bags. He brings everything else, including the sound system, disco lights and all the prizes.
- How much space do you need?
- Enough room for the children to sit in a circle, plus a performance space: about one metre by three for the 30-minute show, one by four for the Mini Illusion Show, and two and a half by five metres for the full Illusion Show, which needs a hall or a large room and 45 minutes to set up. He is also happy to perform outdoors.
- Is he DBS checked and insured?
- Jared holds an enhanced DBS on the update service, public liability insurance and PAT certificates, and a risk assessment is available on request. He is a two-time winner of Best Children's Entertainer at the Poptop industry awards and has performed over a thousand parties.

Jared is amazing! We had the 2 hour party package for my daughter's 7th birthday and it was worth every penny. Jared was amazing with all the kids and entertained them for the full 2 hours! I would highly recommend!
Ben Rice — Rating: 5/5
I highly recommend Jared the magician who performed at my 50th birthday party. He went around doing close-up magic for small groups of people, which made the experience feel really personal and interactive. Everyone was amazed by how he performed the tricks right in front of us with cards, and other incredible sleight-of-hand yet none of us could figure out how he did it! Jared had a great sense of humour and was fantastic at engaging with our guests, creating lots of laughter and memorable moments throughout the evening. If you’re looking for something different to entertain your guests, I would highly recommend Jared. He was professional, friendly, and a brilliant addition to my 50th birthday celebration. 🎩✨

Highly recommend. Jared is a natural entertainer keeping 30 kids laughing for 2 hours. Even the parents were impressed with the magic! One of the most enjoyable parties we have done and certainly the best entertainer - worth every penny and would book again for any age audience.

Jared was fantastic at Axel’s party — the kids absolutely loved the magic and he brought such great energy to the whole day! The party was so much more fun with a bigger group and Jared kept everyone engaged from start to finish. Parents were really impressed too, everyone commented on his vibe and how great he was with the children. I booked him purely based on reviews and I’m so glad I did. Highly recommend Jared if you want a stress-free, fun and memorable party! ✨🎩

Jared was brilliant. We hired him for our daughter's 7th birthday party. All the kids were amazed by his tricks and he included them as part of his act. Our daughter loved her party and enjoyed being part of the show. Highly recommend Jared. He was quick with setting up and provided great entertainment for over 30 kids. He kept their attention and made each of them a balloon model whilst they ate and organised fun games to finish the party. Thank you Jared!
