Peter Kenneth Wood is a Baltimore-based corporate magician who has appeared at the Maryland Zoo, FBI Headquarters, and for companies like Toys R Us and Frito-Lay. Peter stars with his brother Matthew Wood in the Do Some Magic[1] instructional DVD series, available in libraries nationwide.
In 2003, his work with Immersion Active (an interactive design and marketing company in Frederick, Maryland) gained the attention of local media[2][3], and won him a Silver Addy Award[4] from the Greater Frederick American Advertising Federation[5].
Peter and his brother were profiled in a 2009 Frederick News-Post article[6], where Peter discusses his interest in magic as well as special effects. "'When I would play as a kid, it would usually involve setting up special effects in the backyard with a sprinkler and strobe light, or putting on a show in the basement with sound effects and lighting.'"[6] Peter's childhood interest in special effects has led to his involvement behind the scenes of several films[7].
Peter resides in Towson, Maryland with his wife Christie.
