Planning Your House Party Magic

Timeline from booking to the big night

Booking a magician for your London house party is straightforward. Here's what to expect from first enquiry through to your celebration, with practical guidance on timing, logistics, and making magic work perfectly for your home gathering.

1

Initial Enquiry (8-20+ Weeks Before)

Get in touch as soon as you're planning your house party—popular dates (especially Friday and Saturday evenings, milestone birthdays, and holiday season) book up quickly. Share your party date, rough guest numbers, and location in London.

What to include: Date, time, guest count (approximate is fine), London area/neighborhood, and type of celebration. Also mention if you have specific timing preferences or any special requirements.

2

Quote & Availability (Within 24 Hours)

I'll check my availability and send you a detailed quote based on your party details. Pricing depends on guest numbers, duration, and timing (weekend evenings are most popular). Most London house parties start from around £400 for quality close-up entertainment.

Pricing factors: Guest count, performance duration (1-3 hours typical), day of week (Saturdays premium), and travel to your London location. Extensions and add-ons available.

3

Booking Confirmation (Once Happy to Proceed)

When you're ready to book, I'll send a simple booking agreement and invoice. A deposit (typically 30%) secures your date, with the balance due closer to the party. Your date is then exclusively yours—no double-booking concerns.

What's included: Clear booking contract, professional insurance certification, deposit payment link, and confirmation of all agreed details including timing and any special requests.

4

Pre-Party Check-In (1-2 Weeks Before)

I'll reach out to confirm final details—updated guest count, confirm timing, get your full address and parking details, and discuss the party flow. This is when you can share any last-minute changes or specific requests.

Final coordination: Exact arrival time, parking arrangements near your home, guest of honor details (if surprise), preferred performance start time, and any layout/space considerations.

5

Party Day Arrival (15-20 Minutes Early)

I arrive discreetly before your guests or during early arrivals, introduce myself quickly, and get ready. No big setup—just a quiet hello and I'm ready to start whenever you give the nod. Completely low-key and professional arrival at your home.

On arrival: Quick introduction to you as host, overview of your home layout, confirm start time, and stay out of the way until you're ready for magic to begin.

6

Performance Time (Natural & Flowing)

Magic happens! I roam naturally through your party, performing for small groups and individuals, adapting to your house layout and party flow. Most house party performances run 1-2 hours, timed around your food, drinks, and celebration schedule.

How it works: I move between rooms and groups, spending 5-10 minutes with each, ensuring everyone experiences magic. Flexible breaks for speeches, cake cutting, or meals—completely adaptable to your party rhythm.
