My Q And A by Scott Creasey

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.

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.

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 time
• No electronics (they always fail when you least expect it)
• No assistants
• No impression devices
• No pre-show work
• No stooges (instant or otherwise)
• No quick peeks inside folded cards
• No memory work
• Instant access to the information
• All 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.
