Book Peter

His ability to entertain a modern audience relies on a combination of superb sleight of hand, a quick wit, and an understanding of what makes people tick. These are skills that Peter developed while working as a street magician in London’s Covent Garden, and at festivals around the world. Since focusing on the corporate marketplace his unique performing style has earned him bookings from many major corporate and private clients. Peter is also one of the countries leading trade show performers.

Earlier this month Peter won the Magic Circle Stage Magician of the Year, making him the only magician in history to have won both Stage Magician and Close-up Magician of the Year titles.

Acts Available Include:

Close Up Magic:
This is probably the most popular application of magic in the corporate hospitality market and the perfect “ice-breaker”. Peter will entertain your guests during your drinks reception or in between the courses of a meal. This allows your guests to enjoy some excellent sleight of hand magic right before their eyes. Each small group of guests will experience 5 – 10 minutes of superb, interactive entertainment before the magician moves on to the next group. This type of performance can include reading minds, picking pockets and general magic.

Peter is confident, polite and highly experienced in this type of performance and is careful not to impose himself on a group that may not be ready to enjoy some magic, so you can rest assured that your guests will not be rudely interrupted.

Parlour Magic:
So called because of it’s popularity in the parlours of Victorian high society, this form of presentation bridges the gap between close-up and cabaret magic. Effectively parlour magic is cabaret for a small number of guests, usually between 20 and 50, and is similar to a close-up show but is performed “stand-up”.

Parlour is ideal as an after dinner performance when space is limited and sight lines may be a problem. The performance is still intimate enough to allow spectators to feel involved and is more relaxed in style than a full blown cabaret.

Presentations last from 20 to 45 minutes depending on your requirements, and can be broken up and performed in between courses if you prefer.

Cabaret Magic:
If you are looking for a sensational end to an evening then a Cabaret performance may be what you need.

Pickpocket Magic:
As one of the countries leading exponents of sleight of hand magic Peter has developed the skills that allow him to steal watches, wallets and other personal items in the context of great entertainment. Volunteers are treated with courtesy and respect while being “dipped” and of course all items are returned during the performance. Pickpocketing can be introduced as part of either a close-up or cabaret performance.

Hustle Magic:
Often called “beat the cheat” this is a fascinating insight into the world of scams, cons and cheats. A table or “bunco booth” is set-up and Peter will demonstrates how you could be relieved of your hard earned cash by devilishly clever, but totally dishonest means.

You will see games such as “Find the Lady” and “Shell and Pea”, as well as learning some “prop bets” for yourself and hearing stories of real life con men from the past.

Trade Show Promotion:
Capturing the attention of your target audience at a Trade Show is difficult at the best of times and finding new and exciting ways of delivering your message is becoming more important.

In an era of high-tech solutions the key can often be the human touch, and making a connection at a very human level. Bespoke presentations will increase the leads you generate at any trade show or exhibition and maximise your ROI. Peter can also pre-qualify audience members leaving your sales team free to focus on the most promising prospects.

He will appeal to an audiences sense of curiosity and their desire to be entertained, while at the same time creating a unique experience that is built around your themes and messages. They will remember the experience and more importantly remember you.

Peter is also available for inspiring key note speeches.
