Perform magic for friends, family, and colleagues - Do Some Magic shows you how!
The "Do Some Magic" Philosophy:
By avoiding difficult sleight of hand or expensive apparatus, magicians Matt and Peter Wood have set out to teach magic that is fun, high-impact, and useful in many situations. They've selected ideas, methods, and tricks from the huge world of magic that will fast-track you to what magic is supposed to be about: entertaining and amazing your audiences.
The "Do Some Magic" series aims to get you a good start into magic, but you're also encouraged to explore and learn from other sources. If you hope to one day become a full-fledged magician, it's best to spend time with books, DVDs, and other magicians. These are the fundamental building blocks of magic that will help you to become better and better.
About the Wood Brothers:
Peter Wood (right) first became interested in magic at the age of five, when he received a magic set as a birthday present. He practiced his tricks, learned new ones, and watched as many magic shows as possible. He started performing magic professionally in his tenth year, and began his magic company, Shazam Magic. Since then, he has been entertaining audiences throughout Maryland and the surrounding states, performing at birthday parties and family gatherings, as well as corporate functions and grand openings. Peter has a Technical Theatre degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and when not performing magic, provides magical and themed attraction consultation.
Matt Wood (left) joined the Shazam Magic team around the turn of the millennia, assisting his brother both onstage with magic routines and hijinks, as well as off-stage with the research and development of new tricks and show elements. He's currently a student at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, studying engineering and performing with his brother as his schedule permits.
