Description

A full 30 minute act that you can carry in your pocket and perform in almost any standup situation,My Q \ & Athe ultimate mentalism routine.

“It does not matter how you obtain the information, it is how you answer the questions that is important. “

The statement above is one I have read again and again in published works on the Q \ & A from some of the best in the business.

I am afraid however that after nearly twenty years studying the systems of others and working on my own Q \ & A methods and routines, I have to disagree. To me as a full time mentalist and psychic entertainer, how you obtain the information is of paramount importance. So let me re-write the above statement.

“Your ability to answer the audiences questions can make or break a Q \ & A routine, but how you obtain the information to answer those questions in the first place is of paramount importance. “

It has always seemed to me that a sterile method for obtaining access to the audience’s questions is where you should start when building a solid foundation for any Q \ & A routine. With that in mind I set myself the following criteria when devising my own system.

Real timeNo electronics (they always fail when you least expect it)No assistantsNo impression devicesNo pre-show workNo stooges (instant or otherwise)No quick peeks inside folded cardsNo memory workInstant access to the informationAll props used, innocent in appearance and common place.

It has taken a number of years and a lot of trial and error but for the last few years I have been using a system that fits all of the above criteria.

Welcome toMy Q \ & A.
