You'd have to check with Danny to be sure but I believe they have in the past.

Yes we do have single day passes... we usually limit the dealers to ten which seems to be a good ratio to attendees...

I agree that the courtyard rooms are cheaper (and a bit further) but dollar for dollar it's a great value and all the rooms in the Palace have been remodeled (just fixed remolded to remodeled) in the past few years...

When you say "Palace" are you referring to the Courtyard or the Tower?

I've attended every MindVention since the beginning, it has become a true classic. Sad to think this will be the first one I have to miss (I'm performing and lecturing in Australia). Best of luck Danny, I'll see you next year!

Is Ted K. still scheduled for Mindvention this year? Not much has been said lately which I find odd.

The bad news: The wonderfulness that is Rick Maue has decided that he will end his performing career (performing lectures and at conventions for magicians and mentalists). This is a sad day for all of us involved in the world of mentalism.

The good news: Rick will give his final lecture at the 2011 MINDvention
Rick has decided that he does not want to perform at MINDvention and we have embraced his wishes and scheduled his lecture for 10/18 as the final event of the day.

Rick has been a champion, an inspiration and just an all around great pal to so many of us in this business. I am both thrilled and saddened that Rick has chosen to end his lecturing career.
We hope that you will be able to join us in Las Vegas to give a great send-off to a most deserving and wonderful creator and performer.

PS Our schedule is now up on our web site.

There always seems to be about a dozen or so, but I am always surprised there isn't more dealer turnout. I remember my first year I went with a ton of money looking items by John Riggs, Bruce Bernstein, the MOAB, the Conversation With MRs that was hot at the time, some often talked about wallets (SUC, PJ, Shaxon's Confab, etc.), Osterlind and Banacheck products (other than dvds), and so on and none of these were available there. Larry Becker and Lee Earle seem to be there every other year or so, but twice I went there specifically to buy their hot products they weren't there those years.

I would think this is the premier mentalist event and it was a no-brainer that they all would be there but I was wrong. While there are some great dealers in the dealers room, it just may not be all that you would expect. It's not a superstore of everything for the working mentalist that I had hoped or was expecting. It seems like it always just the latest releases and not much of the classic materials.

You must also remember that most attendees spend decent money on lecture notes as nearly every guest performer or lecturer has their lecture notes and some products for for sale. This year Ted K will probably have his materials there as well as the other guest performers. I do hope there will be more action in the dealers room this year.




I'm excited to be attending MINDvention this year.

The PsycheFX team (me, Sean Taylor & Dave Everett) will have six to ten new releases (all non-electronic Smile ).
Plus new card sets for PROBE: Rhinesense.
And I'll be performing & lecturing the Knight's Tour.

Come & say G'day.

I have been added to the line up and my lecture will include a new version of Blindsight and version of Four Told using tarot cards. According to the schedule I'm the first lecture at 2:30 pm on Sunday.

Look forward to meeting many of you again.

At the Palace Station Hotel and Casino the Luxury Tower rooms are fully occupied or close to it. You can still get rooms in the Courtyard. They might also have a linen closet that isn't being used. http://www.palacestation.com/ I reserved a Luxury room because it was only $40 per night for attendees. I feel like a bit of a rube. Who needs luxury? Should've stayed in a Courtyard room and used the extra cash for lecture notes. I also reserved some hotel soap from a guy named Smith. He claims one of the bars will have a hundred dollar bill inside...
The secret of deception is in making the truth seem ridiculous.

I'll also be there and am looking forward to hanging with friends like Steve and adding more knowledge to my continuing education on the art of how to win at slot machines just like you were doing at Magic Live Steve. Remember how you kept winning and I kept losing? Oh please teach me the fine art of winning in Vegas!

As magicians we create what onlookers call magic. If they truly believe in what we have created for them to witness then magic is real!!!

I'll tell you how to win in Vegas Tony... don't play! I rarely gamble anymore... the house has such as advantage so I keep my wallet in my pocket...

In the last week we have received registrations from; Australia, Argentina, and Spain... if you build it, they will come...

MINDvention is 30 days out...

Ya know Danny, I think you have a great point brother. It is so tempting to play the slots when in Vegas but indeed, I have never won!

I don't know how some guys seem to have all the luck with these games.

Looking soooooooooo forward to Mindvention as it will be my first ever!

At the FISM in Stockholm, we had a game of Texas Hold'em going (actually two games)... I thought about starting one at MINDvention but playing cards with mentalists seems crazy to me...
