Excerpt from an article by Sandy Alexander
"Shazam Magic - made up of Peter Wood, 19, and his accomplice, Matt Wood, 13 - is back for its fourth year at the Howard County Fair.
"Peter Wood started doing magic tricks when he was age 5 and began performing in public when he was 10.
"He added his younger brother to the act at their first Howard fair in 2000.
" 'I'm definitely more of the magician, he's more of the comedian,' Peter Wood said.
"The Wood brothers pride themselves on updating their act each year with new tricks and audience participation. This year's theme will be 'Shazam Labs,' with moving parts and blinking lights in their props, a bubble machine and well-timed fog.
"Peter Wood said, 'I want to keep having new tricks. ... That's what keeps it interesting for me.' "
