Peter Wood: Collector of the Impossible
Overview
Peter Wood, the Collector of the Impossible, presents incredible, magical objects with unparalleled showmanship.
He has appeared twice on national television, where Penn & Teller said his act was “beautiful, subtle.” Baltimore Magazine described Peter as “charming, witty, and amazing,” and Washington Business Journal said that he “will blow your mind.”
His interactive show feels like stepping into a cabinet of curiosities, and your attendees are the stars of the show! With intelligence and humor, Peter shares one-of-a-kind impossibilia: supernatural paintings, mysterious elixirs, mind-reading devices, and more.

June 27, 2025Exceptional Master of Magic!
Peter was an absolute BLAST to work with and watch. Hiring him for my event was a unique experience that turned out extremely well, and the Executive guests that attended are “still” talking about the positive experience TO THIS DAY. Peter’s stage presence and charisma was undeniably pleasant, lighthearted, and FUN, and he “delivered the laughs” consistently and every step of the way! His connection with the audience (which was a very smart and TOUGH group of executives) was enjoyable to watch, and he "masterfully" broke down their skeptical walls and got them “involved” in the show. That alone was absolutely MAGICAL to watch...
Seeing their serious faces turn into plastered smiles within minutes... WOW.
EVERYONE in the room enjoyed his magic show "and" personality. He is a true MASTER of his craft, and I look forward to hiring him again and again for future events. Thank you sooooooo much, Peter!!!
Keep up the great work.

Peter was great! It was a large crowd of 8 year olds and he managed to keep them entertained and attentive. The tricks were a success for all ages, and many kept talking about the show after it was over.
I highly recommend this show.

What to expect
The real magic is not in his exceptional sleight-of-hand, but in Peter's ability to make adults feel like children again. Imagine an audience removed from the troubles of the world, laughing and clapping as unexplained events unfold and clever humor flies.
Wood's performances engage even the most jaded and well-traveled, entertaining not with cheesy puzzles and goofy one-liners, but with dazzling eye candy and astonishing mind mysteries.

Influences and inspiration
Contrary to many of his peers, Peter is inspired by the elegant, intimate performances of magic during the turn of the twentieth century. Far from the glitz of Vegas showgirls or the bawdy buskers of street fairs, parlor magicians delighted high society with theatrical presentations at small gatherings.
