Swank moved to Las Vegas to further pursue his magic career in 2004. The same year Swank was one of two magicians honored with the opportunity to represent The United States in The World Magic Seminar’s, International Stage Competition. The then 20- year-old is still the youngest performer to receive an invitation to compete in the competition held by “Las Vegas’ longest running and most famous magic convention.”

Pushing his talents further, in 2005 Swank created a television series entitled, “Landon Swank’s Alaska”. The series would feature several original illusions, including Swank’s walk across the water of King’s Lake. 1

Landon originally auditioned for Season 5, where he made it through the auditions but did not compete in Vegas. His audition was not televised.
