The Genii Forum

Mentalism is a hot topic and most of the worlds greatest magicians do mentalism or feature mental magic in their shows. But its a subject thats a little bit harder to get good information about. There are almost no open conventions on this fascinating subject until now.

The first ever MINDvention, took place in November, 2004. Over 125 people from around the world gathered in Las Vegas to watch, learn and share exciting mentalism from a well seasoned and knowledgeable group of performers.

It was a smashing success and that means that from November 13th-15th, 2005 the 2nd MINDvention will take place at our new location the Palace Station Hotel and Casino.

We are putting together a panel of experts that will be second to none. Some of the masters of mentalism already taking part are: Banachek, Bruce Bernstein, Lee Earle, Larry Becker, Richard Osterlind (schedule permitting), Barrie Richardson , and some surprise guests!

Three full days of shows, workshops and discussion groups will explore this fascinating subject from all sides. Everyone from working mentalists to interested newcomers will enjoy, learn and profit from this one-of-a-kind convention. Registration is $175 until August 15th.

Hi Danny,

If you remember our conversation way back just before the first mindvention, I lamented how it was not possible for me to travel across the globe for this...?

Well as good fortune and coincidences would have it, it looks like I am going to be in the US during this very time... And if so, I would surely attend it this time round at least!

Will be in touch about this.

Thanks & regards,
