Hi All,
It's time for MINDvention to happen again! This year's convention will take place from Nov. 17-19th in Philadelphia! https://mindvention.net/

We are still in the process of booking some of the finest mentalists in the world and the line-up so far includes (more details on the website);

Rick Maue - Throughout the past five and a half decades, he has created more than two thousand magic and mentalism performance pieces. He has written over four dozen books and manuscripts. He has appeared in front of audiences in forty different states, directed numerous theatrical productions, and worked with magicians, mentalists, performers, and creators from around the world.

Eric Samuels - Eric Samuels has made an impact on the world of Mentalism for well over a decade. He is a performer, author, product developer, and performance consultant. As a performer, he has established himself as an in-demand corporate entertainer and keynote speaker. As an author, his book Setting the Stage: Content & Character for the Stage Mentalist, has been hailed as a contemporary classic of Mentalism. His product line - Mentalism Tools, has developed some of the most original and coveted products in the game, including TableVision, BOX-X, and The Black Box.

Jon Tai - Jon Tai is a celebrated magician and storyteller, whose mission is to foster connections between people through shared moments of astonishment. He performs across the country and around the world, in person and virtually, and has called the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust's Liberty Magic Theater his home base since its grand opening in early 2019. He is best known for having co-created and starred in Missed Connections Off-Broadway at Theaters in New York City, following its premiere at Chicagos MacArthur Award-winning A Red Orchid Theatre. A graduate of Cornell University with a degree in Psychology, he lives in the Troy Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh where he can often be found drinking far too much coffee at Scratch & Co., his favorite neighborhood cafe.

Joshua Quinn - Joshua is a full-time musician and an occasional semi-pro mentalist. In the mid-2000s, he started releasing a few things to the mentalism community, including his book ParaLies, which became a pretty remarkable success, apparently because the stuff he comes up with is quite a bit different than the stuff other people come up with. After it came out, David Blaine cold-called him and asked Joshua to come to New York to coach him on parts of it, which he did, and he ended up using that material in various TV specials. His new book Immaculate Misconceptions (due out this summer) will the basis for his presentation.

Garrett Thomas - Garrett Thomas is one of the most accomplished sleight-of-hand magicians in the world, but what does he know about mentalism? Plenty! Garrett's work in front of the camera and behind (consulting for years for David Blaine) has allowed him to create a wide-ranging number of effects, techniques, and subtleties that have uses in the world of mentalism. In addition, he is also one of the deepest thinkers about Magic and the mystery arts. We are fortunate that Garrett will be able to present and share his knowledge and and his participation at MINDvention will benefit all of us.

There will be shows, lectures, interviews, panel discussions,dealers and more, all with the same quality you expect from the producers of MINDvention. We are looking forward to an incredible three days exploring this most fascination topic and we hope you will be able to join us in November.
