Auckland Magician Mick Peck
Awards, Honours and Rave Reviews
Thanks for visiting my website. I'm a full-time professional magician based in Auckland, New Zealand.
I presented my first public magic show in 1994 when I was still at school. I'm now fortunate to be a full-time professional entertainer and make my living performing at corporate events, parties and family functions throughout New Zealand.
I have been named New Zealand Variety Entertainer of the Year by the Variety Artists Club of New Zealand.
I'm also a member of The Magic Circle of London, the world’s most exclusive magic club - admission is reserved for top professionals.
You may have seen me on the cover of The New Zealand Herald Canvas magazine or profiled in The Sunday Star Times Sunday magazine, Driven Magazine or Metro.
In 2020 I was included in David Hartnell MNZM’s Best Dressed Men in New Zealand Showbusiness list.
I have twice served as convention chairman for the New Zealand International Magicians' Convention and was presented with a special award from Magic New Zealand which reads, "Presented to Mick Peck in recognition of his long term service and outstanding contribution to the magic fraternity of this country."
With more than a decade as a full-time professional entertainer, most of my bookings are repeat clients and word-of-mouth.
In an industry overloaded with style over substance and inexperienced entertainers, it’s this combination of professionalism, flexibility and personality along with my highly skilled magic that sets me apart in my field.
I also pride myself on being flexible and easy to work with.
It was this attention for detail that lead to me being presented with the Auckland Chamber of Commerce Awesome Service Award for providing inspirational customer service. This award is supported by NewstalkZB and the Sunday Star Times; nominations are made by happy customers and winners judged by Auckland Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Michael Barnett ONZM.
My goal is to make you look good by presenting a show your guests will love and talk about for a long time to come.
Any other questions? I'd love to help out. Drop me a line and I'll get back to you ASAP.

"Outstanding wedding entertainment! We had Mick at our wedding to perform close up magic to our guests while we were having our photos taken.

I would highly recommend Mick for any corporate, birthday or wedding event you are planning." - Robert Taylor, Castor Bay

A big thank you once again and I wholeheartedly recommend you as a top notch performer." - Jeannelle Menezes, Auckland
“We recently had Mick perform at a function at our home. We had 150 guests (both adults and children) and he was an absolute hit. We’ve had so much positive feedback about his magic with people still trying to work out what happened! Mick is very professional and has a great personality and worked with both adults and kids. We hope to have him back next year for another function that we are planning. Thanks Mick for helping to make our night so memorable.” - Sharlene Rowling, Tauranga
"I employed Mick Peck to entertain adults at a dinner party. I say unequivocally, that he is an outstanding, professional entertainer. His sense of humour, and incredible talent kept my guests thoroughly entertained and provided motivation for great ‘table talk’ discussion. His tricks were fresh, appealing and without doubt, frustratingly thought provoking. I have no hesitation in recommending Mick as a skilled entertainer with special talent." - Jill Eggleton, Parnell
"Mick entertained twenty ladies in my home with his magic. Mick arrived smack on time, set up and was entertaining us in no time. He grabbed our attention immediately and produced some mind boggling magic right in my own living room. Mick's show was so enjoyable as it also included our participation. After his show he then took time to spend with smaller groups to perform some close up magic. I would recommend Mick over and over again." - Jo Fish, Hillcrest
"Mick performed for our guests at our outdoor wedding ceremony in February. We were conscious of the down-time after the ceremony had taken place and pictures were being taken and thought that the presence of a magician at that point would be a novel way to entertain the guests. As Mick had assured us prior, he was very professional and good at getting in amongst the groups of people to perform some close-up tricks. The roaming technique worked very well and people were pleased and amazed to see a few tricks and then be left wondering just how such illusions were possible at such close proximity. During reflection on our wedding day, lots of things about the day stood out to our guests but there have been a lot of conversations and comments about 'that magician' and 'those tricks'. Mick, thank you, you were brilliant and a nice touch to our special day." - Jennifer and Stephen Buck, Auckland
"Hi Mick, just wanted to say thanks again for your performance at our wedding. Everyone has raved about how brilliant and funny you were - and people are still trying to figure out how you do the things you do! I'll be honest and say my wife was hesitant at first about hiring a magician for entertainment (as opposed to a musician) - but she was blown away with the positive response from everyone! People said you engaged the groups really well and encouraged participation - but didn't force yourself into any groups. I also liked the way you dressed quite formally and you looked like you were just a normal guest until you started performing which was an even better surprise for all of our guests. I would highly recommend you for future events of any description given your diverse range of tricks and ability to converse with a wide range of people. Thanks again for assisting in making our wedding a huge success and kicking off the day in an entertaining way." - Ben and Sally Francis, Kohimarama
"Just a quick note to thank you so much for providing an outstanding performance at our party on Saturday night. I have received so much positive feedback from staff who attended the function. We were simply amazed and thoroughly enjoyed your magical tricks. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your magical act to anyone!" - Nalini Elia, Executive Assistant, Pharmaco Ltd
"Thanks so much for the awesome show you put on for us on Friday. It was perfect, catering for all ages. The feedback has been overwhelming and we will definitely keep you in mind for another occasion to use you again." - Marie Heapy, Scion (Crown Research Institute), Rotorua
"Mick showed up before his set time and did his act when people were seated at their tables and ready. I had only booked him for an hour, but he stayed for two hours to ensure he got to all the tables. He was very professional and his performance was very fun and engaging, definitely appropriate for corporate events. I thoroughly enjoyed his performance and would definitely recommend." - Sarah Kelly, Calibre Consulting Ltd
