PETER KOUGASIAN

Performing around the NY metropolitan area for over 15 years, Peter has a rare blend of wisdom & wit to share with his audiences. He was a regular performer at the upper east side "magic mansion", The Magic Townehouse for over six years. He then went on to become a regular performer at the Greenwich Village "hot spot", Mostly Magic for almost 10 years.

To quote from a recent review, "Kougasian opened the performance and acted as host. His charming personality and contagious enthusiasm quickly permeated the room and roped the audience in for the start of the show. This was vital, as in a matter of minutes "Uncle Pete" took us from a fidgety crowd on folding chairs to an enraptured and engaged audience prepped for the "miracles" to come. Along the way, he destroyed and restored various items, seemed to learn the name of half of the audience, and doled out some truly unique souvenirs, (I'd tell you about them, but why give away a fun surprise?)"

Throughout his career, Peter has had the opportunity to perform for many celebrities including former Tonight Show host, Johnny Carson and Peter Yarrow of Peter Paul & Mary acclaim. Peter, a student of the late legend, Slydini, is also a published magic inventor. We are proud to call Peter a member of the MNM family.
