MARK STONE

Tuesday April 12, 2011 7:00 pm Grand Ballroom

Open Seating $10.00 Per Person Mark Stone’s MENTALMANIA is

the funniest mindreading and E.S.P. show in America today.

Mark never fails to astound audience members with his ability to read minds, make

predictions, and “see” with his fingertips while blindfolded. He leaves audiences shaking their

heads in disbelief when he demonstrates super memory, clairvoyance, and

telekinesis. Not only does Mark amaze everyone with his uncanny abilities, he also keeps the audience

laughing throughout the show. It’s a fun and thought-provoking entertainment experience.
