Biography
“The real star of the night was Pete Heat”
Vogue
Luxury event magician for unforgettable private and corporate occasions
Pete creates original, funny and impossible live entertainment for luxury events, corporate celebrations, brand launches, awards nights and private dinners.
His magic is designed for occasions where every detail matters: elegant settings, important guests, precise timings and events where the entertainment needs to feel exceptional, never intrusive.
Whether performing close-up during a drinks reception, between courses at dinner, or on stage for the entire room, Pete brings guests together through astonishing magic, sharp comedy and a relaxed, sophisticated style.
Close-up magic for receptions, dinners and private events
Close-up magic is the perfect way to entertain guests while allowing the event itself to remain the focus.
Pete can mingle during a drinks reception, move between tables during dinner, perform for small groups at private parties, or create memorable moments for VIP guests. The magic happens just inches away, often using borrowed objects, making each performance feel personal, spontaneous and completely unique.
It’s a natural way to elevate the atmosphere, encourage conversation and create the kind of moments guests remember long after the event — without the need for a stage, spotlight or formal show.
Stage magic, after-dinner entertainment and awards hosting
For larger audiences, Pete performs high-impact stage magic and mind-reading for corporate events, awards nights, gala dinners, conferences and private celebrations.
Combining stand-up comedy, impossible magic and audience interaction, his show gives the entire room a shared experience full of surprise and laughter. It can be tailored as after-dinner entertainment, a cabaret performance, a conference energiser, or a bespoke moment within a wider event programme.
Pete is also available as an awards host and event MC, bringing energy, humour and professionalism while keeping the evening flowing with memorable moments throughout.
Bespoke magic for brands and launches
For brand events, product launches and campaigns, Pete can create bespoke experiences built around a message, product, reveal or theme.
This could include a live product reveal, a magical moment incorporated into a presentation, close-up magic tailored around a brand, or content designed for guests to capture and share. The aim is not simply to add magic, but to create a distinctive experience that feels made specifically for the occasion.

“Having heard about Pete from Iain Lee on his radio show, I booked the Online magic show for my husbands lockdown birthday, and Pete was awesome! The whole show was very well thought out and it didn’t matter that it was online. All of the tricks were amazing and we will be wondering how on Earth he did it for years! Especially as he involved more than one person for some of the tricks. And the denouement was the icing on the birthday cake! I was inundated with messages of thanks and amazement from everyone who was able to join. Totally recommended- worth every penny! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ !!!”
