Peter Hinrichs has spent the last forty-five years performing, teaching, and educating. While he has taught people from age five to eighty-five, he is happiest when working with young people. Peter has worked as a youth program coordinator, family counselor, substance abuse counselor, runaway house manager, and life skills trainer.
Peter's teaching credentials include such diverse subjects as English, communications, algebra, drama, magic, and puppetry. Peter's performing background includes acting, directing, and working backstage on over 200 productions. He has been a professional magician for 30 years known as 'Peter the Adequate', winning several awards and heading up numerous magic organizations. He is also the co-founder of The Magic Camp in Austin, Texas. As creative director of the camp, he taught magic and life skills to thousands of children and young adults.
Peter's goal at every presentation is to make the students forget that they are there to learn until the production is over, at which point they discover that they have learned far more than they expected. For this reason, Peter has earned the title of "Stealth Motivator".
