For the last 15 years Peter's style has been developed by performing all over the world for corporate clients and on television shows such as the BBC's 'Magic' Series, and Channel 5's '50 Greatest Magic Tricks'. More recently, Peter was selected to perform his famous Cups and Balls routine at The Magic Circle's Centenery Celebrations.

Peter is the winner of the Carlton Award for Comedy and of the Magic Close-up Magician of the Year, beating some of the worlds' top professional magicians to win the coveted title.

Peter offers Close-up magic in a number of different formats:

Mix & Mingle. For drinks receptions and finger buffets.
Table Magic. Performed at the table in between courses during dinner.
Beat the Cheat. For drinks receptions or after dinner this is a static performance of cons scams and hustles, peppered with stories of real life crooks.
Close-up show. The very best closeup magic performed in a more formal setting.

If you need after dinner entertainment then Peter's Cabaret Show is ideal for most sizes of audience. It is funny and interactive with moments of genuine amazement.

Shows can last from 20 to 40 minutes and can be tailored to suit your requirements.

Peter is not a "comedy magician", but a World Class Magician with the delivery of a stand-up comedian.
