DESCRIPTION:
Audiences from all over observe in amazement as Peter Pitchford performs profound perplexities of powerful prestidigitation. His superb skill stuns seated spectators in an amalgamation of amazing amusements. Folks from afar flock to be fascinated by his famous "fabulous feats of finger flicking." With digital dexterity on display, you don't want to miss the chance to experience exceptional expertise that is electrifying enough to ensure your enthusiastic enjoyment.Stage manipulation - Have you ever seen magic on stage before? When you see most stage acts, does this thought ever penetrate your mind, "If I had a $20,000 box with stars painted on it and several scantily clad assistants, I could probably saw myself in half also"? Mr. Pitchford's philosophy of stage magic supersedes gratuitous pointing, shiny costumes, meaningless dancing around, and characterless egos. Peter is … Peter when he is on stage. All of his magic happens inside his own ten fingers. There are no suspicious props, gaudy, sequined outfits, or glittery explosions. The unexplainable is truly unexplainable. Peter's award winning stage manipulation acts are perfect for gala shows, fund raisers, community events, and other stage engagements. Mingle Magic - There is a little-known genre of magic referred to here as mingle magic. When most people think "magician" they either think of a baby-sitter for their children who comes to work in a top hat carrying a bunny rabbit or a guy on stage with expensive props and lighting. However, mingle magic is a sophisticated genre of the art that allows the miraculous to be done in a more intimate setting. Here, the magician is a part of the party. He mingles with the guests as a guest. As he mingles, he entertains. He entertains various groups often allowing the party attendees to participate, hands on, in the magical experience. This is often considered the most amazing genre of magic because the magic happens so close to the guests, and often in their hands. No stage, no special lighting, no props being wheeled in by assistants, only a deck of cards, only a few coins, only a Bic pen, only amazing skill. Peter's award winning close up magic is ideal for private parties, wedding receptions, corporate events, company picnics, hospitality suites, or any rendezvous. Stand Up Show - This 45-minute show is geared toward a group of adults. Peter takes the audience through his own magical biography from the very first trick he ever saw, to his own unique magical creations today. The audience experiences, with Peter, his infatuation with magic as a child, how he mischievously used the art to escape calamity as a teenager, and how he uses it today to entertain and delight audiences. Each routine is captivating, amazing, motivating, and entertaining. Peter's love for the art, creativity, and perspective really come to the forefront of this show. Children's Show - When you see a children's magician have you ever heard the children scream, "Oh, I've seen that one before!" Sometimes it's because the children want to impress their peers, but other times it's because they really have seen that one before. Children's entertainers are notorious for using the same material. It has been said, "If you have seen one kids' show, you've seen them all." If this is your sentiment toward children's performers you are about to take a breath of fresh air. Peter's kids' show is entertaining for both children and adults – AND it is not a carbon copy of the others. It is fresh, creative, powerful, and entertaining. Throughout the 45-minute show, the children are able to participate in (and at times actually do) the magic themselves. This show is fitting for family get-togethers, birthday parties, community events, block parties, and other special days. Along with the performance, Peter offers packages that include balloon animals, face-painting, and magic workshops.

Peter was excellent! He entertained both the kids and adults at my daughter's 8th birthday party. Everyone was raving about Peter and how they want to hire him for future events! We are very pleased! Great job Peter!!

Peter Pitchford was excellent at communicating with us about our event. He was punctual and professional the day of the party. We had about 50 people - a mix of children and adults. Peter was able to appeal to the children - since it was a party for our 4 year old - while keeping the adults laughing and entertained. He was so good that many people at the party asked for his business card at the end of the show. We really enjoyed the event as much as our daughter did and would def. hire Peter again for a future event!
