Since the age of 5, Peter Wood has enjoyed performing magic shows for friends and family. After some coaxing from his mother, he began Shazam Magic, and started doing shows professionally in 1994. Since Shazam's beginning, it has been Peter's personal goal to use original routines, as well as putting his own spin on classic ones, and blending it with family-friendly comedy, whether in the board room or the backyard.

In 1995, Peter's middle school buddy Greg began helping him as the Shazam "rabbit wrangler." Greg's deep-voiced and straight-laced nature complimented Peter's animated and zany attitude perfectly. Ken Wood, Peter's dad, would kindly chauffeur the teens all over Maryland in the family's 1988 GMC Suburban, nicknamed "The Shazamobile," (bearing MAGIMAN vanity plates).

During the mid-90's, Shazam clients began to ask about balloon creations, so Peter studied and practiced until he had a fun variety of balloon sculptures that he could produced for audiences of all ages. Additionally, his younger brother Matt now has a hand in the creation and upkeep of Shazam, accompanying Peter to magic shows, and providing technical assistance behind the scenes.

In addition to magic shows and balloon creations, Shazam Magic offers corporate magic, strolling entertainment, and magic consulting for the theater. Peter is booked numerous times each month for everything from private birthday parties and public openings, to fairs and school events.
