Unforgettable Memories: Brice Harney Dazzled at ACE 2025

Mentalist Brice Harney Presented "Extraordinary by Design" at Viva Las ACES

Accomplished Dallas-based performer reveals how mentalism concepts can transform professional interactions.


We hope you didn’t miss the fun, the awards, and the mesmerizing show by Brice Harney. His presentation was nothing short of magical and breathtaking, filled with surprises that left everyone in awe.

In his fascinating talk, Brice translated the compelling concepts of influence and perception from the world of mentalism into powerful tools for professional growth. Attendees discovered how to apply these principles to forge stronger connections and create "amazing moments"—those pivotal interactions that can change the trajectory of a relationship, career, or project.

Brice’s high-energy delivery combined gripping storytelling with world-class mentalism and incredible sleight of hand, drawing everyone into an interactive experience as he demonstrated the same impossible feats that have astonished his distinguished clients.

We hope you enjoyed this unique opportunity and walked away inspired by Brice Harney’s transformative presentation at ACE’s Saturday morning Awards Breakfast.
