2022 Schedule of Events

18th Annual MINDvention

Virtual Convention

Once again Covid is preventing us from gathering in person. As we did last year, we are conducting MINDvention as a virtual convention. The X in the title stands for extra, as we hope to resume a live convention at the end of 2022.

Last year’s virtual convention received high marks and we have the same goals for this year’s event. Whether you are a full-time mentalist or just beginning your journey, you will learn and grow at MINDvention. Looking forward to seeing you online.

COVID Update

For many years MINDvention was the world’s only open mentalism convention. We would bring together the top performers and presenters working in mentalism with an audience of mentalism pros, semi-pros, and enthusiasts from around the world. For three days, we gathered in Las Vegas to perform, discuss, debate, and share our knowledge about this most fascinating art form.

COVID 19 prohibited the 2020 & 2021 events from taking place. MINDvention founder Danny Archer has joined forces with Marty Martin, Italy’s Luca Volpe, and Renato Cotini to create a Virtual MINDvention Convention.

We will have the same great presenters, shows, lectures, and workshops all taking place in cyberspace. Whether you have been presenting mentalism shows for forty years, or you are just starting to explore this exciting area of performing, you will find old friends and new ones when you join us for MINDvention.
