Who Is Peter?
Since his first toy as an infant was a stuffed bunny, you could say Peter’s destiny was determined from an very early age. Then a magic kit for his seventh Christmas made it official – being a magician became a way of life. All through school, he was always looking for a way to be ‘on-stage’, whether at assemblies, at his desk or in between classes. He eventually found his path through theatre arts and television. Graduating in the mid 1980′s from both the University of Western Ontario and Fanshawe College with degrees in Theatre, Business and Television Broadcasting, he’s been on the road and on-stage full-time ever since.
Some career highlights:
- Eight TV specials, two television series and Co-Host of Rogers Daytime talk show;
- Wrote, Designed & Built, Produced, Directed and Starred in the largest magic show of its time in London, Ontario;
- A private performance for the family and guests of a Russian multi-millionaire on his yacht in the middle of the Caribbean – flew in from Canada (direct) just for that one show;
- 3 years on tour as Producer, Technical Director and Opening Act for Vincent Anthony, The Man with the Million Dollar Mind Hypnosis Show;
- Co-founder, Technical Director and Theatre Manager of the Original Kids Theatre – Alumni include Rachel McAdams and Amber Marshall;
- Grand Marshall of London’s Annual Santa Claus Parade - the first and ONLY magician to be so honoured!
- House magician for 15 years at Deerhurst Resort;
- London’s Original Restaurant Magician – continuously since 1981;
- Married to his No.1 fan for 27 years – and she deserves all the credit!
