"If you see one magician in this decade, it's Hobson." - Herald Sun Melbourne, Australia

"Hobson ended the show with great magic and gales of laughter ...... His performance and comedic timing were excellent!" - Linking Ring Magazine

"...... The audience gave him a huge round of applause at the end." - Variety

"...... It was shocking! So shocking! It's impossible to describe without laughing! This is a funny, entertaining young man who has captured the comedy club way and made it his own. Yes, there's fire eating. Yes, there's magic. Yes, there is comedy. But mostly, there's entertainment!" - The New Tops

" ...... Hobson plays the audience like Menuhin plays the violin ...... You know you're in the hands of a master as he takes you through a series of classic magic effects ...... and his own creations ...... But the first thing you remember is his character and his comedy ...... You realise he is a master of tricks as well as a master of dexterity." - Australian Magic Monthly
