His modern style and magic schemes will intrigue any audience and open anyone’s mind to new and unbelievable possibilities.

He kept them on the edge of their seats — captivated — throughout the entire assembly! Furthermore, I received such an outstanding review from everyone who attended the assembly that I can’t wait to bring him back to our school!”
“Our whole campus had the chance to hear and see your magic with a message! It was a great blend of fun, fascination and motivation.The kids were really engaged. They will certainly remember you for life! My ASB students appreciated the extra time you spent with them during ASB class too. Our staff enjoyed the assembly and thought your acronym MIND was appropriate for middle school kids. Thanks again for coming to our school. It was a great experience for all of us!”
“Some might assume that Russ Peak’s presentation as merely being tricks, but quite the contrary. Russ Peak can captivate an audience and engage them in an experience that can best be described as truly magical as he weaves into his presentation a powerful and motivational message that leaves the audience recharged, ready, and eager to take on their challenges.”
I always enjoy working with Russ. He’s one of my favorite people to bring to my conference providing a positive vibe to any environment. His contagious smile and sincere message is an experience for everyone. Plus, he spends time researching his audience so he is well prepared and ready to make a life impact.
“I have been impressed with how our students as well as the students from our Leadership Conference still talk about your presentation. Not only were they amazed at the ‘tricks of the mind’ you performed, but they were honestly moved by your personal stories and challenges to them to be the best that they can be. In fourteen years of doing activities, I can tell you that I have never had an assembly that has had such a lasting, positive impact on our student body.”
“Thank you for the amazing keynote. We were totally entertained and we all thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. The students definitely benefitted from your message, and the entire conference was carried by the momentum and tone you set.”
“Russ Peak’s performance was a hit! From the start, he had the students’ attention and enthusiasm. His humorous approach ket the audience involved and entertained. We were pleased with his terrific performance and we were fortunate that he came to Modesto High School. We really are looking forward to more amazing performances by Russ!”
“3 thumbs up! Although I had seen your demo videos and talked with people from schools that had used you in the past, you greatly exceeded my expectations. Everybody who met you and talked with you echoes my thought that you are not only very talented and entertaining, you are also a terrific, genuinely nice caring human being. We hope to bring you back next year and, again, thank you for a memorable evening.”
“Thank you Russ for yet another outstanding performance at our annual state-wide DECA conference. After four years of coming to our event, I have still heard nothing but positive feedback from the advisors of the many other schools that attend each year. Your presentation is always engaging and appropriate for our student population. These kids can be a hard audience but you always hook them. I know we can always count on you to put on a good show. See you next year!”
“The IASC has been working with Russ Peak for years dating back to 2010. Russ brings high energy, fantastic and fun student involvement, and most important, quality entertainment to the high school students throughout the State of Idaho. His professionalism and understanding of his audience means you never have to worry about safety or the moral integrity of your students. Russ has not only performed as a hypnotist and magician for us but his unique skill set has allowed him to help us as a keynote speaker and breakout presenter as well. If you are looking for quality entertainment at a great value you will find both in Russ Peak!”
“Thank you for providing your outstanding keynote for our leadership camps at U.C. Santa Barbara and Stanford University. You educated and entertained over one thousand students from 146 schools this past July. We feel that you filled a definite, and important, niche in our program. Russ has presented at our camps four different years. I would not hesitate to recommend you to schools in California, or any other state that would like to provide a unique presentation for their students”
“Russ Peak was the keynote speaker at a retreat for our leadership program. He spoke to the students about the importance of leadership and goal setting. The students loved his presentation. Russ has the ability to relate to high school students and they really listen to what he has to say. The students did not want his performance to end. Whether Russ is strictly entertaining a group or providing a message, he is a dynamic presenter. I would highly recommend Russ for any school.”
“BRILLIANT! ENTERTAINING!!!! COOL GUY!!! AMAZING! GREAT MESSAGE!!!!! LOVED HIM!MESMERIZING!!!! FUN, FUN, FUN!!! HE IS A HOOT!!!! SO GENUINE!! HE SPOKE TO US…NOT AT US! CHARISMATIC! YOU CAN TELL THAT HE LOVES WHAT HE DOES! SMOOTH!!!!!!! GET HIM BACK!!!!
Russ….these are a just a few of the many glowing comments that both our student leaders and advisors shared with me regarding your keynote presentation.
You certainly gave a PEAK performance on Sunday morning.
THANK YOU…..THANK YOU….THANK YOU for dazzling our Louisiana Association of Student Councils State Convention participants in such a grand manner. Take care of your good and noble self. Keep doing great things for kids!!!!!!”
“Just dropping you a quick note to thank you for the awesome job you did at our Leadership Training session. The kids were mesmerized by your performance, and I appreciated how you wove the leadership message into your act. It was both informative and entertaining! I am looking forward to having you back!”
“I have enjoyed Russ Peak’s performances for more than a decade. His work as an illusionist is beyond compare. Your students and advisors will be amazed! However, Russ’s real growth is as a youth speaker. Russ uses his skills as an illusionist to bring home a strong message of leadership. I have had Russ speak to our high school, our advisors, our state convention, and our honor society. His conference evaluations are excellent.”
“Russ Peak’s message was amazing. We had 900 student council kids in attendance and not one of them was doing anything but listening to Russ talk. I wish I could hold the attention of my classroom like he held the attention of that group of kids. His presentation is a mixture of motivation and magic. The students still talk about his performance and lessons they learned. If you are searching for that perfect speaker look at Russ Peak!”
“You were the highlight of the conference. I want to thank you for your professionalism prior to, during, and after the show. I have had many occasions in my 15 years of teaching and advising to contract with entertainers and speakers. You were the easiest to book, showed up 2 hours before the show, and didn’t leave until you made sure all questions were answered and that we were thoroughly satisfied. It was very refreshing to deal with someone with such integrity, not to mention talent!”
“To those of us who plan events for a living are always searching for those speakers and facilitators who make us look good at what we do. Russ Peak is just such a person, and I am delighted to recommend him to others. Russ has become one of our “go-to” speakers. I know I can count on him to do quality work, and that I can use him in a variety of situations. I really recommend you give him a try for your next event!”
“Every interaction with Russ was a pleasure. On the evening of the performance, he arrived early, setup his equipment, and delivered a spectacular performance tailored to our particular needs. We enjoyed his act and learned from the experience. His message- that with the power of the mind, anything is possible, resonated with the audience!”
“The students and staff enjoyed Russ Peak’s magic presentation for Red Ribbon Week. We were very fortunate that he could work us into his schedule at that time because his magic combined with an anti-drug and alcohol message fit right in with what we were wanting to accomplish during the week. We have been won over. I am hoping that Russ will be able to return in the future to help us promote an alcohol and other drug free lifestyle.”
“It has been our privilege to host Russ Peak for assemblies. Not only has he been extremely captivating for the students, but he has conducted himself in a professional manner which earns him the support of our administration. His school appropriate material has the students clamoring for more, and makes my job planning successful assemblies easy. Russ Peak has been doing quality assemblies here at Casa Roble H.S. For over 12 years, and I give him my highest recommendation.”
“Russ not only delivers one heck of a speech, but he does it with the students and audience in mind. I don’t write letters for many keynote speakers but I do this one without reservation. Russ is in a class by himself. His product is pure and his integrity is strong”
“Russ performed at my school and his presentation left our students with a fun awe striking experience. His program is the one assembly that my students have consistently remembered throughout the year. I highly recommend Russ Peak and his assembly to any middle or junior high school to help motivate your students to achieve at a higher level.”
“The students were left in wonderment and laughter as Russ mixed innovative ‘magic’ with well-played humor. More importantly, he did a fantastic job of blending his performance with a great message. Students were reminded that they are in control of what their future might hold.”
“I have been an activity director for 31 years and I was always fearful of what might happen with a hypnotist and a gym full of high school students. My fears were put to rest watching your fun and entertaining interactions with our students (and teachers!) who were ‘under your spell’. Two assemblies in a row — what incredible energy! ”
“I appreciate that you allowed so many students to participate and that the things you had them do while under hypnosis were all tasteful and appropriate. You were always aware of what was happening with both the spectators in the crowd and the participants on the floor; it is this kind of attention that makes you such a great presenter.”
“It has been over a week since your performance at our school and everyone is still talking about it. I have seen hypnotists before but your hypnosis skits are the funniest I’ve ever seen!”
“Russ Peak’s performance was well received by our students. He was sensitive and did not place them in any situation that was harmful or demeaning. His presentation was in good taste and the students enjoyed the experience of being hypnotized and feeling good about themselves after the show.”
“As we were looking for a hypnotist, we were referred to Russ Peak from another school who had used him previously this year. They assured us that he would put on an outstanding assembly so we decided to use him. Russ Peak not only lived up to his reputation, but he surpassed all expectations that we had of him. Captivating the audience with his humor and talent, the assembly was a huge success. We would highly recommend Russ Peak to anyone.”
“We found the assembly provided by Russ Peak to be an overwhelming success. He had EVERYONE’S attention, and kept our students spellbound. The show was funny, informative and a terrific diversity from the routine school day. Russ is an excellent hypnotist and showman. He is a true professional in every sense of the word. The students made sure it was known, we want him back again!”
“Russ Peak’s show was funny, exciting, and captivating. He had the whole audience involved, and rolling on the ground with laughter. The students never got bored, and they didn’t want the show to end. The day after the show, everyone was talking about what a great hypnotist Mr. Peak was, and how entertaining his show was. If you are ever in need of an entertaining show, I highly recommend Russ Peak.”
