"Patrik Kuffs is really one of a kind! I love his personality and he is diabolically clever with his magic. With so many magicians these days who seem to come from the same mold, not only did they break the mold that Patrik came out of, but he was the first one made! I could only hope that others in our art could be as ingenious, innovative and inspiring as Patrik Kuffs!" - Richard Osterlind

“It’s hard enough to develop a degree of proficiency in any one branch of magic, but to become adept (truly adept) at several specialties is exceedingly rare. This, however, is the least amazing thing about Patrik Kuffs. With much of his waking life spent creating devious effects, he has developed wholly original acts for both close-up and stage, comprised of material that fools magicians, mentalists, laymen, and quite possibly some computers.” - David Acer

“Behind the irresistibly goofy stage persona and a self-effacing modesty off-stage, Patrik Kuffs hides one of the least predictable and most knowledgeable minds of our craft. Many of the world’s leading performers rely on techniques he pioneered, often keeping very quiet about it. Throughout all his work, decades of full-pro comedy performance shine through in the robust, ridiculously simple but oh so deceptive methods. For the jaded and spoiled seen-it-alls among us, Kuffs is the mandatory antidote, a mind-opener, rebel statement and mastery display all in one.” - Jan Bardi

“Patrik really thinks a lot about the performance of magic. Very clever methods are applied to very commercial effects.” - Jon Allen

“Kuffs is the zaniest, craziest mentalist I've ever seen. His fast-paced performances charm his audiences, which means his bold methods fly under the radar.” - Ken Dyne

“Kuffs has the sort of mind that oozes creative ideas and original mentalism. He is as unique as they come and his material is as brilliant as it can get.” - Chris Cox

"Patrik Kuffs is one of my favourite mentalists and performers. He's a full-time pro, so he knows what works in the real world. He comes up with great ideas, he performs well and teaches clearly. What's more, he knows how to make mentalism FUN, which is a fairly rare ability. What more could you want?" - Ian Rowland

"Kuffs has produced some truly amazing material, his metal bending from many years ago greatly inspired my fascination. His mentalism is always streamlined, direct and workable." - Marc Spelmann

"I know Patrik Kuffs to be clever, innovative, and generous with his ideas. He is well on his way toward establishing himself as a major figure in our business." -Lee Earle
