What Does a Magician Actually Do at a Party?
So, you’re planning a party—maybe a birthday, anniversary, or a private house party. You’ve got the food, drinks, and music sorted. But what about entertainment that will truly wow your guests?
That’s where a professional magician comes in!
I’m David Ung, a professional magician based in Sydney, Australia, and I specialize in making events fun, engaging, and unforgettable. Whether you want to create a lively atmosphere, break the ice between guests, or give people something extra to enjoy, magic is the perfect entertainment choice.
But what exactly does a magician do at a party? Let’s break it down.
1. Walkaround Magic – Entertainment That Comes to You
When you're at a party your guests will grab a drink and find a spot to plonk themselves down and begin enjoying their time with as little movement as possible except when they need to for cake cutting, to get food or find the bathroom. Unlike stage performers who stay in one spot, a magician at a private event moves from group to group, performing close-up magic that happens right in the hands of your guests.
From mind-blowing sleight of hand to impossible feats of mind reading, your guests will get a front-row seat to the magic—no matter where they are at the party! Plus your guests can remain where they are, keeping them comfortable and astonished!
2. Breaking the Ice & Bringing People Together
Not all guests know each other, and for some, striking up a conversation can be awkward. That’s where a magician like me comes in.
Magic is a natural icebreaker, helping strangers bond over shared moments of amazement and laughter. When I perform, I engage guests, encourage interaction, and get people talking—even the shy ones, and if they don't want to talk, then they've got something to do in watching me perform.
3. Giving Guests Something Extra to Do
At most parties, guests chat, grab a drink, and wait for food, then eat the food before repeating the cycle. But what if you could give them something more interactive and unforgettable?
With a magician, guests won’t just be standing around—they’ll be fully engaged, reacting, and laughing as they experience impossible magic happening right in front of them.
This makes your event stand out from the usual gatherings and gives guests a unique experience they’ll talk about for weeks or even years!

4. Ensuring Everyone Has an Amazing Time
As a host, you want to make sure everyone at your event is enjoying themselves. But you can’t be everywhere at once, making sure every guest is entertained.
As a magician, I make sure everyone—young and old—is included. Whether they’re in the mood for interactive tricks or prefer to watch from the sidelines, I create a fun, relaxed, and magical atmosphere for all that allows you to focus on other things and enjoy your event.
I'm like a party guest that wants to talk to everyone and make them feel welcomed by sharing magic with them.
5. Creating Lasting Memories
Long after the party ends, what do guests remember most? The experience.
Magic isn’t just about tricks—it’s about creating unforgettable moments that stay with your guests long after the night is over. With jaw-dropping illusions, laughter, and shared amazement, your event won’t be just another party—it’ll be THE party people talk about, until the next party you organise!
