Want entertainment for an event where people are mingling and drinking? Peter’s strolling sleight of hand magic happens without stage lights, smoke machines or camera tricks. It’s magic close up enough that you can reach out and touch it.
Close Up Magic happens in the hands of the magician or in YOUR hands! Objects appear, disappear or ‘morph’ from only inches away.

About Close Up and Strolling Magician Peter Gross
Although Peter travels internationally, he’s always excited to perform in his own backyard. His award-winning magic show, MAGIC AND OTHER SUSPECT ACTIVITIES, has been seen all around over the North East including Portland, Nashua, Manchester, Hartford, New Haven, New York City and at every venue around Boston.

He’s been invited to the White House, performed at the Kennedy Center, Canada’s National Theater and has made numerous TV appearances. He has been invited to perform in Germany, Spain, Scotland, and Japan. He also won two silver medals at the Oranjeboom International Variety Performer’s Competition in Rotterdam, Holland.
Vancouver International Comedy Festival called Peter “Hip sophisticated and very, very funny. A first class performer,” and the Actor’s Theatre of Nantucket raved “You were spectacular! Our audiences raved. Our staff raved. And I was raving mad that I missed it. “
Peter’s extensive cruise ship contracts for companies including Royal Caribbean, Princess, Carnival, and Celebrity Cruise lines have taken him to far flung ports including Tierra Del Fuego, Tahiti and Vladivostok, on the far east coast of the former Soviet Union.
Peter has performed at universities including Harvard, Brown and Yale and for Fortune 500 companies including McDonald’s, Microsoft, Intel, Bain Financial, AstraZenica, Ecco Footware, Prudential Bache and General Dynamics.
