So thrilled to be able to announce the return of one of my all time favorite presenters, the one and only Docc Hilford. In addition to performing and lecturing, Docc will also be offering a workshop (details to be posted to the website). A great addition to an already strong line-up. I for one can't wait to see Docc live and in person at MINDvention.

Docc Hilford is the King of the Underground with a cold reader's heart and the tongue of an itinerant preacher.
His effects are bold, relaxed, simple, complex, serious and fun - and always professional.
In 2015 and 2016 he received the David Lederman P.E.A. award for Creativity in Mentalism, The Annemann Award, and the highly prized, Melbourne Christopher Foundation Award in Mentalism (one of only ten ever presented).
He was among the first American bizarrists in the 1980's and edited the flagship newsletter of the strange, The New Invocation. He hosted the infamous, Weerd! Weekend (TM) for nine years. Back in 2000, he was named The Children's Performer of the Year,* and has since donated over 1000 shows to charity.

Docc's produced seances, side shows, floating casinos, voodoo temples, and UFO cults. He's written 30 books and has almost 200 items for sale. He a consultant for David Blaine, Criss Angel, Penn & Teller and Derren Brown. He's been Alice Cooper's stage manager and performed for the Smithsonian Institute. Docc has been engaged in 23 different countries, and even performed while there. Docc says he refuses to lower his fees and self worth by performing for free on competition TV or among the internet experts.

Notice: Docc's friends specifically asked to please not be named in this bio, sighting to legal reasons. Thank you.
