"Gerry McCambridge is one of the world's most successful mystery performers. His uniqueQ&Aeminently qualifies him to author a definitive guide." - Ross Johnson
Most professional mentalists agree, the strongest routine you can perform in a mentalism show is the Question and Answer (the Q&A) act. You seemingly use your abilities not only to read an audience member's mind and figure out what their questions are, but you also answer the question for them.
Gerry McCambridge has been performing his unique blindfolded Q&A act for over 31 years. He has performed it over 6,000 times on the largest stages in the world, making him by far one of the most experienced mentalists to teach a master class on the topic.
If you always wanted to add the Q&A act to your show, this book teaches you everything you need to know. It starts at the beginning, first teaching you the technique to properly blindfold yourself. Next it gives you the step-by-step practice routines Gerry used to master his act. The practice routines teach you audience management skills and the ability to feed back the secretly acquired information to the audience, making it seem as if you are figuring things out that were never written down.
You will learn:
How to acquire the information
Make leap of faith guesses
Dilute your misses
Use the dual reality
Use canceling methods
Changing the act according to the venue
Perform the Q&A on TV
How to blindfold yourself
Perform the Omni Glance
