Peter began performing professionally in 1994.[6] In 2003, his work with Immersion Active (an interactive design and marketing company in Frederick, Maryland) gained the attention of local media,[7][8] and won him a Silver Addy Award[9] from the Greater Frederick American Advertising Federation.[10]

Peter, then assisted by his brother Matt, was profiled in a 2009 Frederick News-Post article,[11] where Peter discusses his interest in magic as well as special effects. "'When I would play as a kid, it would usually involve setting up special effects in the backyard with a sprinkler and strobe light, or putting on a show in the basement with sound effects and lighting.'"[11] Peter's childhood interest in special effects has led to his involvement behind the scenes of several films.[12]

In 2010, Peter worked with the education department of the International Spy Museum to create an exclusive spy-themed magic show, "The Magic of Spying: Tradecraft Trickery."[13] It premiered in April, 2011.[14] Peter also appears in an interactive video exhibit, which premiered when the International Spy Museum moved to L'Enfant Plaza on May 12, 2019.[15]

Peter Wood partnered with Technica.ly in 2014 for Baltimore Innovation Week.[16] In October 2020, he was profiled in the Washington Business Journal for his virtual shows.[17]

Since 2015, Peter has presented Willard & Wood[18] with his colleague Willard. It's been named one of the four best performing arts spots in Baltimore.[19]

On January 29, 2021, Peter Wood appeared on Season 7, Episode 8 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us on The CW Network. His performance featured a painting which appeared to give host Alyson Hannigan x-ray vision. Penn Jillette said "I don’t think we’ve ever said this before on the show: it was really, really enjoyable to do your thinking along with you.”[20]

When not performing, Peter's specific skillset has led him to design and consult for film projects, theatrical productions, and his fellow performers.[21] His work has appeared in several film festivals,[22] and on stages in Sweden, Brunei, Las Vegas, New York, and at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.[23]

Peter resides in Mount Airy, Maryland[24] with his wife and daughter.
