Auckland Magician Mick Peck
Three decades of creating unforgettable experiences
Thanks for visiting my website.
For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of creating laughter, amazement and unforgettable moments for audiences throughout New Zealand.
I presented my first public magic show in 1994 while I was still at school. Today, I'm fortunate to be a full-time professional magician, performing at corporate events, private celebrations, weddings and special occasions throughout New Zealand.
Over the years I've learned that great entertainment is about much more than simply knowing amazing tricks. It's about understanding people, reading the room, creating genuine connections and making sure every guest feels included in the experience.
That's why so many of my bookings come from repeat clients and word-of-mouth recommendations.
People don't just remember the magic - they remember how the experience made them feel.
A Career Among Great Company
My client list reads like a who's who of New Zealand business, from major corporations and household names to government organisations and leading brands.
Over the years, I've entertained some very well-known guests at private events and industry functions, including Prime Ministers, Hollywood stars and members of the legendary rock group Queen.
I've had the opportunity to work alongside many of New Zealand's most recognised entertainers and personalities, including Richard O'Brien, creator and star of The Rocky Horror Show, Mark Hadlow, Frankie Stevens, Jason Kerrison, Jeremy Corbett, The Topp Twins, Hilary Barry and Jon Toogood of Shihad.
Awards & Recognition
I’ve been fortunate to receive a number of honours and awards.
In 2015 I was invited to join The Magic Circle of London, the world’s most respected magic organisation. Membership recognises magicians who have demonstrated a high level of skill, knowledge and commitment to the art of magic.
I was voted New Zealand Variety Entertainer of the Year by the Variety Artists Club of New Zealand in recognition of excellence in entertainment.
In 2020, David Hartnell MNZM included me in his Best Dressed Men in New Zealand Showbusiness list.
I was honoured to receive the Variety Artists Club Scroll of Honour in 2024, recognising my contribution to the New Zealand entertainment industry and artistic support of many charitable organisations.
I've also been honoured with an Auckland Chamber of Commerce Awesome Service Award, following a nomination from a satisfied customer. The award recognises businesses that provide inspirational customer service and was supported by the Sunday Star-Times and Newstalk ZB, with winners chosen by Chief Executive Michael Barnett MNZM.
From the first enquiry through to the final bow, I want every booking to be straightforward, professional and enjoyable.
My goal is simple: to make you look good by creating entertainment your guests will love and talk about long after the event has finished.

We all particularly enjoyed the interaction, you slotted in with the groups very well and we were all amazed by your skilled performances. It was an ideal way to surprise and delight our team before dinner and I highly recommend the experience to others.”
— Craig van Asch, Managing Director, Exeloo
“The show Mick did for our annual awards really was spectacular! I had people coming up to me after the show saying they still couldn’t believe what they saw. Mick was highly professional, funny and a natural on stage. The strolling magic was equally impressive and we all found ourselves moving to the different tables with Mick just so we could see more magic! If you want some high quality entertainment and to be gobsmacked at how he does it, then I would 10/10 highly recommend!!”
— Ingeborg Pfeiffer, Milk Test New Zealand Limited
"We had Mick Peck at our Christmas function and he was amazing! His showmanship was wonderful and the magic unbelievable ... just so clever! He engaged the audience and got us all involved. Everyone loved it! His show will be talked about for a long time. Mick's rave reviews and accolades are so well deserved."
- Andrew and Kay Durrans, Directors of Auckland Plumbers Group
“Hi Mick thank you for making our event so memorable, I have had lots of feedback from our staff to say how much they enjoyed it. Your communication was excellent with quick responses to my questions which made organising so much easier... Overall you helped to make our event special and a big success, THANK YOU!”
— Leslee Mennie, Life Health Foods Ltd
“We hired Mick for our mid year staff function... We were ALL very wowed with Mick's performance. His tricks are amazing and we certainly could not work out how he did them. We absolutely loved the entertainment and almost a week later we are all still talking about the show.”
— Maree Keane, FoodCo New Zealand Limited
"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 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
