How Much Does a Corporate Magician Cost in Chicago and Milwaukee?
It's the first question every planner asks, so here's a straight answer.
What affects the price
How long you need entertainment. A 45 minute show costs less than a show plus 90 minutes of strolling magic.
What kind of performance. Strolling magic, a stage show, and emcee work are different jobs. Many events combine two or three.
The date. December weekends are the busiest days of the year for corporate entertainers.
Travel. Local events cost less than events that need a flight or a hotel.
Group size and production. A 400 person ballroom needs more than a 30 person office party.
What to expect: experienced corporate magicians in the Chicago area usually start somewhere between $1,000 and $2,000 for one service, and go up from there for packages, larger groups and peak dates. My corporate packages start at $1,500 for one service and $2,500 for strolling magic plus a stage show.
What you're paying for: a corporate entertainer isn't just doing tricks. You're paying for someone who shows up early, works with your AV team, keeps the content clean, reads the room, and makes your event look good.
