Anyone hired a Magician for a wedding?

We are thinking about hiring one, and have had a few quotes already. Some are booked up too.

One was for £275, and the other 2 were £475 so a big jump. All 3 have websites and good comments on their page.

Is there anything we should be looking for? Its for 2 hours.

Has anyone hired one here, and is the price the approx ball park figure?

    Ours is £300 for 2.5hours but this included a discount for booking through our venue of £75.
    Guess it depends on whereabouts you are but we found most were between about £300-£400.
  • Those prices sound about right, I've booked one up in Newcastle £300 for two hours. He is very popular and comes very highly recommended.

    We have been extremely lucky. My oh went to a friend's BBQ and this friend's friend was there at the BBQ who does magic! He was showing a few "moves" which my oh loved and decided to book him for 2 hours. He's only charging us £100 cash and apparently he's really quite good!
