The highlight for me was a story that literally had me laughing so hard that tears were rolling down my face. The story involved predicting that a participant vacationed in the Adirondacks and a not-so invisible Docc Hilford nonchalantly wheeling a tray on to the stage.

The image in my mind created from that story was worth the flight to Sin City in my opinion.

Hilarious!

Mate, to be fair, it was a pretty awesome card trick! Definitely in my top three. Its up there with other two you do.

Col :-D

Paul,

That story was totally hilarious...never forgetting that one!!

Thanks, Duane,

That was the first time Jamie and I had presented the lecture on the business of seances. I mentioned the idea last year to Danny Archer of having seances as a theme. He liked the idea and I hoped to have our book ready by this convention. Alas, that was not to be though we are close and will have it available at next year's convention. In the meantime, we pulled a few ideas from the book and put them in the limited and numbered editions of the MINDvention 2010 Lecture Notes.

We had a great time and deepened our relationships with so many of you. Indeed it was great spending time with everyone. I tried to get around to chat with many of those who were involved with the MINDvention and uploaded my interviews for Dodd Vickers' podcast on http://www.magicnewswire.com You can listen to nearly two hours of fun chats at: http://bit.ly/9meROE

I join the happy throng in echoing "congratulations and thank you Danny and Robert for organizing such a great convention!"

See you next year!

Scott, you're a total legend! Nic and I loved spending time with you. Lots of great laughs and just hope we can all do it again sometime soon!

Danny and Robert are incredible! The effort they've put in to make the convention what it is, is phenomenal. Absolute respect to both of them! Thank you very much again guys!

Best wishes,
Col.

I immediately added some new touches to my seances that Scott and I have already presented that I learned from Mindvention. Docc H., Thanks for the inspiration to think BIGGER. I am already working on a show called "The Paranormal Experience, An Interactive Haunted Event". This show will debut at a 120 seat theater in the near future!

Colin, I'm just rereading your lecture notes. It is again a true pleasure Jan

That truly means a lot Jan! It was an absolute pleasure getting to meet you!

We European guys should be bringing our heads together and putting on our own Convention in Europe somewhere...

Col

Colin, I think that's a great idea. As a member of the GEM I will talk to my friends about it... although I would prefer doing it in the UK Jan

A reason to go to Europe, hope you won't mind if USA Folks stop buy.

Sounds like great Idea..

Many thanks for all the praise coming our way...

I am already starting to work on next years talent line-up, panels, shows and themes...

As I have said before... there is no MINDvention without the great people who come and share their thoughts and talents wheter they are the booked talent or hanging at the bar...

Matthew, then I will look out for new victims... Jan
P.S.: Do you know my new version of the Sharpie dot on the table?

Danny, could you keep us up to date on when the pictures of 2010 will be on the Website?

Thanks...
I hope I can be there in 2011...it was great.

Hey Christoph,

We are in the process of doing an overhaul of the website... in the meantime we are posting pix on MINDvention on Facebook

Two highlights for me Bob Cassidy who was fantastic and of course Paul Stockman who was simply brilliant.

But most of all thank you to Danny and Robert. Good Job guys once again .

Thanks for the reminder, Scott. I have been meaning to make the time to listen to your excellent podcasts. Nice meeting you at Mindvention. Great lecture you did, too!

Thank you Gregg, for your kind words and thoughts. It was indeed my pleasure meeting you. That's part of what I think MINDvention is all about...bringing together riends and making new ones while learning new ideas from the wealth of global intelligence. It truly is a summit meeting of the minds.
