Watch before you shortlist
16 of the Melbourne magicians have a performance video on their page. A minute of real footage tells you more about how an act sounds and holds a room than any written description. A few to start with:
Events outside Melbourne
19 of the 50 magicians here say how far they will go. 16 cover 200 km or more, some anywhere in the state or the country. 1 go somewhere between 50 and 200 km, and 2 stay within 50 km. For a venue out of town, name it in your enquiry: travel and a night's accommodation usually go on the quote.
Paperwork your venue may ask for

Before you book
Magicians in Melbourne: common questions
Can I see a magician perform before I book?
Yes, for 16 of them. Their pages have a performance video you can play, which tells you more about how they sound and look in a room than any description can.
Will a Melbourne magician travel to a regional venue?
Many will. 19 of the magicians listed here say how far they go, and 16 of those cover 200 km or more. Mention the venue when you enquire, because travel and accommodation usually get added to the quote.
What happens once I send an enquiry?
Each act you picked replies with a written quote for your date. Put them side by side, check what each one includes, then decide. Enquiring costs nothing and you are not committed to anyone.
