What real audiences are saying about a Dan Gaffney “Mind Mysteries” show:

“Mind boggling and a great evening!”, “Fantastic”, “Awesome, a fantastic evening”, “Dan is an amazing mentalist, don’t miss this show”, “How did he do that?"  

Dan is a lifelong performer and host of his own award winning radio show recently voted “Best Radio Personality” by the readers of Delaware Today Magazine. He has amazed crowds while hanging from a crane above a city square duplicating Houdini’s famous straight jacket escape. He has been “frozen alive” in a 5000-pound block of ice for 48 hours. He has also been buried alive, and entombed in concrete. He recently performed as an opening act for “Mr. Las Vegas”, Wayne Newton. He has also maintained a close-up residency inside Bally’s Hotel and Casino in Dover, Delaware. His live “Mind Mysteries” shows attempt feats that cannot be rehearsed or practiced in advance…because…he doesn’t have YOUR mind in front of him…yet! Be a part of the fun and interaction as Dan reveals audience thoughts, cell phone numbers, pin numbers and engages in experiments of influence, lie detecting and mysterious mind maneuvers.
