Press coverage and selected client feedback
‘Landman is an example of how the performance of “magic” has been transformed in the last decade…far removed from circus-style trickery of sawing women in half.’
Laura Marsh, Prospect Magazine, May 2012, p. 79.
‘To call him a conjuror is to liken President Obama to a parish Councillor ……’ ‘ A marriage of top end conjuring and stock-room science with psychology and philosophy as bridesmaids and comedy as its pageboy.’
Martin Newell, East Anglia Daily Times
‘…the future of magic…’
Neil Darcy-Jones, Essex County Standard
‘Professor Landman is a unique magician who held our audience in the palm of his hand as he read minds and introduced Eastern esoteric arts none of us could fathom. The high point of our major fund raising event, his set immediately became legendary. Not so much ‘sleight of hand’ as ‘sleight of mind’. A deeply mystifying and cerebral experience. Todd redefines the meaning of magic. Without his generous gesture to waive the usual fee, the event would have been ‘good’ – but not ‘great’.
Charles Malcolm-Brown, The Mountain Trust
‘Dr Todd performed at our wedding reception and was a hit with both young and old. As well as a varied and original cabaret, which included some amazingly accurate predictions about the week’s news, made well in advance of the day, he performed some brilliant closeup magic at each of the tables. He is a uniquely gifted and engaging performer.’
Ian and Hilary Wigston
‘It was a great evening at Clifftown. I went with my daughters stepson, who is 13, we sat on the front row so that we could ‘see’ the tricks, it was impossible……… The whole evening was amazing.’
Carol Johnson, after the performance of An Evening of Enchantment at the Clifftown Theatre
‘Thank you so much for a very entertaining evening which was greatly enjoyed by everyone. Your presentation was brilliantly projected and it made the best use of all our facilities. Very rewarding! We have made just over £500 profit which is a most welcome contribution to the work we have done, but above all the event itself was the most successful part. Many thanks‘
Sue Wigglesworth. Polstead.
‘Just a brief note to say thanks for providing such excellent magic on Friday and Saturday night at our Café. It proved an excellent evening and I know that our customers loved it.’
Esther and Richard Brunning, Mistley Café
‘Just a brief note to say how much your performance was enjoyed by myself and the other people at the Harvest Supper! I’ve had lots of folk commenting on what an entertaining and impressive conclusion to the evening it was. It certainly ensured the success of the event.
Mrs. J. Budge, Colchester
‘Just a note to thank you so much for your contribution to the PTA’s ‘Magic and Music Night’. It was a fantastic evening enjoyed by everyone who came along.’
Brooklands Primary School PTA
‘Many thanks Todd for your entertainment, guests are still talking about it and all have their theories on how the “magic” works…and thank you for the fun you gave to us all!’
Liz Binns
‘Just a short note to say thank you for entertaining us last Saturday evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed your show and many of our friends are still trying to work out just how you manage to do all those ‘mind bending’ tricks. It was excellent.’
Zena Dakeyne
‘Just wanted to thank you so much for yesterday – it was fantastic. We all loved it, especially Mum ! We had a lovely weekend together and your appearance was certainly the icing on the cake !!’
Sarah Short on the occasion of her mother’s 80th birthday
‘Thank you so much for all your hard work on Saturday night making the party swing and ice breaking!’
Jo Charles, Business Manager Butley Priory
‘I wanted to thank you for an absolutely brilliant afternoon. Everybody thought that you were truly amazing. I especially want to thank you for the professional and smooth way that you have handled the last few weeks, and I have been made to feel confident with every single aspect of your work. Thank you Todd. You made my party really memorable and special.’
Francesca Carpos. Kensington
‘You had the hardest sceptics in the palm of your hand. What a mysterious, warm, and friendly package!’
Alexa and Justin Hall
‘Thank you so much for entertaining everyone at my mum’s birthday on Saturday, you were excellent and people have been talking about you all weekend! I will hopefully see you sometime in the near future’.
Amy-Rose Line. Events Manager. Spice Outside Ltd
‘ Quite a show! As my first ever magic show (other than a guy who also made balloon animals on a ferry when I was eight) I enjoyed it immensely! The Shop’s ambience certainly suits intimate gigs like that … endless booze also helps’ Marty Jarvy. Commentary on a show at The Shop,
Selly Oak, Birmingham
