James Harrington and Marina Liani, the mind-reading duo known as MIND2MIND, are sticking around the Las Vegas Strip a while longer. The pair has extended their exclusive engagement at Fontainebleau Las Vegas due to popular demand, continuing their residency at Azul Lounge rather than wrapping up as originally planned.

The extension was confirmed by Fontainebleau Las Vegas, which describes MIND2MIND performing at Azul, the resort's signature lounge, with a show built around mind reading, thought revelation, prediction and the duo's famed second sight. Harrington and Liani are billed as the World Champions of Mentalism, a title that comes with real hardware behind it: the venue notes the duo has received the Mentalist Award along with the 2025 FISM World Champions of Mentalism honor.

That FISM recognition traces back to the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques, which according to a press release distributed via sropr.com awarded the duo its Gold Medal in 2025. The same release noted the pair's Las Vegas debut performance was set to begin Thursday, June 4, marking the start of what has become a longer-than-expected engagement inside Azul at 2777 S. Las Vegas Blvd.

A Career Built on Television and Championship Titles

MIND2MIND's résumé extends well beyond the Strip. The duo has appeared on America's Got Talent, Britain's Got Talent and Masters of Illusion, giving them a built-in audience of fans who recognize their act from national television before ever walking into Azul. KTNV reported that the show blends psychology, intuition, prediction, influence and audience participation, and noted the duo entered the residency as the reigning 2025 FISM World Champions of Mentalism, according to ktnv.com.

The show's pedigree runs deeper still. As the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Neon section reported, MIND2MIND comes from the same producers behind The Magician's Study, a secret parlor show that had already been running on the Strip for a decade before this residency launched. That same reporting described the 75-minute performance as an intimate affair, staged in a club with roughly 80 seats.

Schedule and Ticket Details Still Shifting

Exactly when audiences can catch MIND2MIND has evolved since the residency's launch. Fontainebleau Las Vegas' official listing currently has the duo taking the stage Friday through Tuesday at 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7:30 p.m., a schedule distinct from the Tuesday-through-Sunday format described in the original launch materials, which also mentioned Friday and Saturday shows expanding to two nightly performances at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. beginning June 12. Tickets for MIND2MIND start at $79 and are available through fontainebleaulasvegas.com.

Reporting from Neon, part of the Review-Journal, had previously described the show as a limited-run residency closing Sept. 27, underscoring just how far the extension moves the goalposts from the original plan. There's also a discrepancy on who exactly should be in the room: Fontainebleau's own venue page recommends attendees be ages 12 and older to enjoy the experience, while a Visit Las Vegas guide to the city's magic scene states the show is intended for guests 21 and older.

What Fontainebleau Is Saying About the Extension

Per Fox5, Fedor Banuchi, senior vice president of entertainment at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, said MIND2MIND's run at Azul is being extended and that Harrington and Liani's intimate, interactive style is a natural fit for the lounge. That framing lines up with how the show has been marketed from the start: a close-up, conversational brand of mentalism rather than a big-stage illusion spectacle, built for a room where the performers and the audience share the same air.

For now, MIND2MIND remains one of several mentalism, magic and hypnotism acts keeping a foothold on the Strip, a category Neon's Review-Journal coverage has tracked as continuing to cast a spell on Las Vegas audiences. Whether the extended run at Azul settles into a new fixed schedule or keeps shifting, Harrington and Liani are, for now, staying put.
