Brief Summary: One of the people who make my trips to New York so very pleasant, and so thoroughly enjoyable. Peter is a tremendously warm, helpful guy from the 'nothing is too much trouble' school of New York hospitality. He's also a very keen magician, with special reverence for the work of Harry Lorayne and Derek Dingle.

World Records Held:
Best Oil & Water Routine (based on D. Dingle routine)
Best Job Title Of Anyone I Know
Best Lunch-time Conversation In Manhattan
Safest Lunch-Time Conversation In Manhattan

Other Notable Achievements & Honours: Among other things, Peter suggested and inspired one of the final sections of the third edition of my cold reading book, pertaining to police interrogation methods, and also recommended the best source material for me to work from. This section has been very well-received by my readers.

Best Party Trick: Peter knows some extremely deft sleight of hand close-up magic, and his 'oil and water' routine has comprehensively baffled me every time I've seen it. It looks like real  magic, I've no idea how it's done, and I don't want to know.

Special Powers: Given the nature of his profession, Peter has lots of special powers.

Known Weaknesses: None known.

Catchphrase: "So, when can we get together for lunch?."
