"I enjoyed your performance and I find you to be a most exceptional magical performer"- The Great Tomsoni

"I could only hope that others in our art could be as ingenious, innovative and inspiring as 
Patrik Kuffs!"- Richard Osterlind

"Your act is brilliant! Bravo mon ami!"- Teller (Penn & Teller)

"Patrik Kuffs is one of those rare performers that truly knows who he is and that awareness is infused in everything he performs. He is not to be missed!"- Todd Robbins

"Patrik Kuffs is a deep well of magical thought and invention… and funny on top of it!"- David Regal

"If I had to make a list of 10 people to be in a room discuss magic performance, method, and originality, Kuffs is a name that would be one of the first”- Andrew Gerard

What will he teach?

Ruban- A fast and visual opening effect. Be careful! It's quicker than the eyes.

Introduction talk & Audience Warm-up

Impossible Rubik- An impossible proposition with an unexpected result. What may look like a simple gag is, in reality, a subterfuge to introduce an item that will help you read the mind of a spectator.

The Stupid $5 Trick- A very different approach to the venerable Bank Night plot. This time not only does the spectator win some money, but the surprise ending gets a huge applause.

X-Perimental Magic- In this Lie Detector style demonstration, 3 participants draw random images. Two of the participants drawings are determined through psychometry. The action switches to a mind-reading experiment where you will be able to divine the last drawing which you have never seen.

Latex Mystery- Using standard latex balloons and an item already introduce in your show (remember the Rubik's ?). You will be able to present a fun and visual divination of a secretly chosen colour.

Moment of Classical Magic- Your audience will love this twisted visual gag based upon a classic magic prop. Pure comic absurdity done with style.

PenduluMystery- What starts as just another playing cards effect, turn into a full audience participation extravaganza where you will be able to find the perfect match of a mystery card, not with sleight of hand, but with... a strange pendulum. Not only an entertaining and funny routine, but it is a mind baffler. It really does pack small and plays BIG.

The Last Word- A great closer gag disguised as a prediction. The perfect ending for any comedy related show.
