Pete is recognized as the U.K’s leading comedian/magician. He first burst onto our television screens as cheeky Northerner 'Tufty' in FIVE's hit show 'Monkey Magic'. Since then he has travelled the world meeting his magic heroes and performing his own brand of anarchic magic in Sky One's ‘The Secret World Of Magic’ and amazed viewers with his ability to perform disgusting tricks with animals, cigarettes and big spiky things in Channel 4's ‘Dirty Tricks’. Guest television appearances include BBC2’s ‘The Culture Show’, ITV1’s ‘Saturday Live Again!’ with Ben Elton, helping Justin Lee Collins become a conjuror on Channel 4’s ‘The Convention Crasher’ and also performing alongside Rihanna in ITV1’s ‘For One Night Only’.
