FISM 2012 WINNERS
New from Danny Archer:I want to give you a brief
update and overview of the
2012 MINDvention mentalism convention taking place
in Las Vegas from November
11-13th. We are working
hard to make this year’s
MINDvention a fascinating
three days of learning, sharing and exploring the Art
of Mentalism. Mentalism is
really the purest form of
magic that there is, and at
MINDvention, we peel back
the curtain on this fascinating art form.
We have just added three
great presenters to our lineup. Tony Chris, Ross Johnson
and Christopher Taylor.
Congratulations to Magic
Babe Ning who successfully
became the first woman
in the world to perform an
inverted DOUBLE Straight
Jacket Escape from a burning rope high up in the air!
See her article for full details
and behind the scenes interview.
