Peter's Magic
Peter has made his mark as a family entertainer, performing for groups where adults and children are expected to be entertained simultaneously. These stand-up shows (see video at right) can be as intimate as a living room or parlor, or as vast as an auditorium or banquet hall.
Using his technical theater background, Peter offers several backdrop and sound system solutions, with the ability to turn nearly any size space into a stage for his magic.
Parlor performances are a nod to the classic magicians from the 19th century, where smaller groups of adults would gather in their homes to enjoy more sophisticated sorcery. Peter Wood continues this tradition by sharing his twist on classic magic routines, blending witty comedy and unbelievable magic into a dazzling show.
