Madonna, Cher, Sting and now Mindpro

I am looking forward to being part of this years Mindvention lineup. It seems there has been much interest in offering some insight and information on the business side of performing and being a mentalist. I'm honored that I've been asked to participate as I think it is shaping up to be a great lineup with Ted K., John Archer, Rick Maue, Menny Lindenfeld, Bill Gladwell, William Rader and so many others.

I have been receiving a lot of PMs and emails and am glad to hear of the excitement. I truly believe that whether you are just starting out and want to perform for pay, are currently a working and gigging mentalist or our looking to take your performing to the next level, that success is created in the business side of what we do and I think everyone interested in the business side of entertainment will find this to be an exciting and valuable presentation.

Also I be be presenting a half day "The Entertainment Business Intensive Workshop" as well for those that want to delve even more deeply into the business side of entertaining. I regularly receive so many questions about different performance markets, agents and agencies, professionalism, contracts, forms and proposals, marketing, press and media and so much more and look forward get into all of these. I will also include Q&A and use some of your actual questions, concerns, interests and individual situations as part of the workshop.

So I hope to see many Café friends there as well as meet some new friends all with the common interest in setting your performing business up for success.
