Scott Creasey – My Q and A
PDF
A full 30 minute act that you can carry in your pocket and perform in almost any standup situation, My Q & A the ultimate mentalism routine.
"It doesn't 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 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.
