The premier mentalism convention, Mindvention, is closer than a stinky guy on
a bus, and more exciting than being the stinky guy and sitting next to someone
like you.
Robert Allen and Danny Archer reminds us — as if we needed a reminder — the
convention will take place November 13th through 15th (we’re flying in Saturday
the 12th and leaving the 16th) at the local’s favorite, Palace Station Hotel
& Casino.
That’s in Las Vegas.
For more information on this exciting convention featuring Banachek and
Barrie Richardson. We think the world of Barrie
Richardson’s Theater of the Mind.
Banachek is one of the few people about whom we worry — not in a
overly-paranoid way — but just a little more than Kreskin and a little less
than most carnival dunk-tank clowns.
He may just want us to believe he is pretending to be a psychic but maybe he
really is and the doctors in Indiana were right. We fear sometimes he can really
read our thoughts.
With Kreskin, we didn’t worry so much about mind-reading. We figured if he
could, he was too old and near-sighted to do anything about it. Plus he always
wore suits about three sizes too small so we could run up a flight of stairs and
he’d be half-naked in a freshly torn, brown suit.
Carny dunk-tank clowns probably can read our minds but even if they couldn’t,
the still have to know how much we loathe them and their cigarette/bourbon
intoned taunts attacking our manhood or Mother’s fidelity to Father, the U.S.
Army, or even our species.
It doesn’t matter what he thinks we think of him.
He’s right and if it costs us $24.50 in bacteria-laden baseballs, we’re going to
hit the target and sink “Bozo” right in the midst of his attack on our date’s
facial hair.
“Guess you couldn’t predict that, huh?!”
Anyway, Banachek wrote a ton of stuff but one of his best is 2002 Psychophysiological
Thought Reading: Muscle Reading and the Ideometer Response Revealed . It’s really a two-fer. You get his work plus How to Read
People’s Minds by H.J. Burlingame.
We like Banachek and Barrie
Richardson.
So we’ll be there hanging on their every word, buying them…
