Great Entertainment

Russ performed at our company Christmas party. He strolled around and did up-close magic and then did a short routine on stage and was extremely funny. Everyone thought he did an exceptional job. We would gladly hire him again and again.

Great Entertainer - Routine very well thought out

Russ has my employees involved from the beginning. Performing close up magic before dinner and then involving them in his entire routine after dinner. I would have him back and would also recommend him for any Corporate Event.

About

Russ Peak is a master of mystery with a professional background as unique as his performance. With over 25 years of experience, Russ is an award-winning magician and a premiere mentalist who has performed for corporate audiences across the country.

​What truly sets Russ apart is his professional pedigree. He is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), the highest earned designation from the National Speakers Association—a distinction held by less than 12% of professional speakers worldwide. Furthermore, Russ holds a Master of Science in Human Resource Management and Global Management. This academic and professional background means he speaks the language of business and provides a level of reliability and HR-appropriate content that is rare in the entertainment industry.

​His client list reads like a "Who's Who" of the Fortune 500, including:
​Microsoft, Compaq, IBM, Philips, AT&T, Kaiser, PeopleSoft, BNSF, Duraflame, Well Fargo Bank ​...and hundreds of other major corporations, national associations, and industry leaders.

​Now based in the Midland/Odessa area, Russ combines this world-class resume with the executive-level professionalism and local reliability that West Texas businesses expect.

Additional booking notes

To ensure the highest quality experience for your guests, Russ’s technical needs are minimal and "planner-friendly":
​Audio: One (1) high-quality Handheld Wireless Microphone. This is essential for audience participation, allowing Russ to move freely and ensuring that guests’ responses are heard clearly by everyone in the room.
​Staging: For groups larger than 50 people, a raised platform or stage is highly recommended to ensure clear sightlines for all attendees.
​Lighting: Basic stage lighting or "house lights up" is preferred. Since the show is highly interactive, Russ needs to be able to see the audience as much as they see him.
​Setup: A small side table (bistro height preferred, but not required) and access to the performance area 30 minutes prior to guest arrival for a quick sound check.

Influences and inspiration

​Russ Peak’s performance style is a unique intersection of technical mastery and psychological intrigue. His work is deeply influenced by:

​The Legends of Sleight-of-Hand: His award-winning foundation in magic is rooted in the precision and classic deceptive arts of masters like Dai Vernon and Ricky Jay, ensuring that every "miracle" is executed with world-class skill.

​The Pioneers of Mentalism: His approach to thought-reading and psychological influence draws inspiration from the storytelling and mystery of Max Maven and the theatricality of the early 20th-century "mentalists" who turned the human mind into a stage.

​Platform Excellence: As a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), Russ is influenced by the great communicators and keynote speakers of the National Speakers Association. He views the stage not just as a place for "tricks," but as a platform for connection, utilizing the "Art of the Impossible" to shift perspectives and inspire curiosity.

​The Corporate Landscape: With a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management, Russ’s greatest influence is the professional world itself. He is driven by the challenge of creating sophisticated, intellectual entertainment that respects the intelligence and culture of a Fortune 500 audience.
