Pardon the horrible title of this thread, but you get the idea.

What mentalists would you like to see at Penguin Live that hasn't lectured yet?

For me, the top 3 (in no particular order) would be Barrie Richardson, Bruce Bernstein, and Banachek. All B's!!!

Best,
Matthew

Bruce berstein
robert e. neale (ok, he's not quite a mentalist - but he certainly knows about meaning and metaphor in what we do)
doc shiels
Hellstrom
Harry Lorayne for his memory work and some card techniques
Kreskin

Alain Nu!

Oh wait! That's August 5th at the P3 studio in Columbus, Ohio according to Eventbrite.
Already got my seat reserved.

If you are near the Columbus area on Aug 5th you may want to grab your seat now as these seats are filling up fast and the announcement just came out a couple of hours ago.

My Dream list is kind of long, cause there are many great mentalists that have not lectured for Penguin...and of course many great ones that have, which I am thankful for...

My list in no particular order:


Gerry McCambridge
Banachek
Chuck Hickok
Craig Karges
Christopher Carter
Doug Dyment
Eric Samuels

I would definitely like to see Robert Neale and Harry Lorayne.

I would love a lecture on just the power and magic of metaphors. Possibly a multiple panel discussion with Eugene, Jeff Mccbride, Dr. Larry Hass, and Robert Neale. It would be nice to know their differences and similarities.

Dr. Todd Landman is someone else I would love to see. People who know the power of a good presentation or good story.

I would echo a lot of the names that have already been mentioned. Three that I would like to see that haven't been named yet share the same last name (almost!):

• Michael Weber
  
• Ken Weber
  
• Richard Webster
  

Ross Johnson, The Evasons, Jon Stetson, Uri Geller

Oh, and Lee Earle!

Yeah - another vote for Michael Weber and Ross Johnson...

Rick Maue
Hector Chadwick
Bruce Bernstein
Florian Severin
John Riggs
Banachek
Greg Arce
Rob Domenech
Paul Voodini

Lee Earle would be good, in façt any of the names mentioned above would be great.

Banachek, John Riggs, and I'd love to see people familiar with like two person second sight stuff. Also more Bob Cassidy.

Gil Eagles
Gerry McCambridge
John Riggs
Hector Chadwick
Elliott Bressler...teaching some of his favorite close-up routines from Switchcraft!
Dr. Bill Cushman

E. Raymond Carlyle (aka. Ed Fowler)
Chuck Hickok
Michael Weber

I think it's very interesting that so many "classic mentalists" are being suggested as opposed to the the newer breed that has seem to dominate things around here as well as the Penguin series.

Here's my suggestions..


Michael Weber (mentalism only)
Ross Johnson
Banachek
Jon Riggs
Greg Arce
Craig Karges
Christopher Carter
Eric Samuels
Bruce Bernstein
Jon Stetson
Lee Earle
Christian & Katalina
Ted K. (all new second lecture)

Top 3:
Banachek
Richard Webster
Fraser Parker

And honestly, I would even watch another 16 hour Osterlind lecture..

Also YES. I would love to see him talk and perform some of his more Esoteric material in a Penguin Live lecture.

Another vote for Stephen Long (Hector Chadwick). I watched his presentation on equivoque at Vanishing Inc. Magic and enjoyed it.

Hector Chadwick would be top of my list. Great creative thinker, but also (importantly) a brilliant lecturer.

Rick Maue would also be great. I love his original version of Group Dynamics but gather he's since developed the routine quite a bit. I'd love to hear him talk through the changes. I'd also love him to cover some Haunted Magick.

- Banachek.
- Michael Murray, there is a reason why his book was book of the year
