How much does it cost to hire a magician in Los Angeles?

Rates for a professional magician in Los Angeles vary based on the type of event, guest count, and performance format. Walkaround magic for a cocktail hour or dinner typically starts at a different rate than a full show. Contact Jacob Martinez Magic for a custom quote based on your event details.

What is walkaround magic?

Walkaround magic is close-up magic performed right in guests' hands as the magician moves through the room. Instead of a stage show, the magic happens at tables, in groups during cocktail hours, or anywhere guests are gathered. Cards appear under watches, minds get read, impossible things happen inches away.

What is the difference between a magician and a mentalist?

Magic happens with things: a signed card appears inside a sealed bottle, a borrowed coin vanishes and shows up somewhere impossible. Mentalism happens with thoughts: the performer tells you the name of your childhood best friend, guesses a number you only thought of, or describes your first crush. Jacob Martinez performs both.

How far in advance should I book a magician for my event?

For corporate events and weddings, booking 4 to 8 weeks in advance is recommended. Holiday party season (October through December) books up fast, so 2 to 3 months ahead is better for that window. For private parties, 2 to 4 weeks is usually enough.

What types of events does Jacob Martinez perform at?

Jacob performs at corporate events (holiday parties, conferences, team building, product launches, trade shows), private parties (birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties, house parties), weddings (cocktail hour, reception), and galas. He works rooms of 20 to 500 people in Los Angeles and throughout Southern California.
