Paul Voodini has some interesting thoughts on Q&A, but I think most current mentalists are going to balk at his methods (since they are rooted in Spiritualist demonstrations of the same). http://readerofminds.co.uk/page_26.html Luke Jermay's video, Jermay's Mind, has a nice Q&A section in it, too. Personal opinion: Q&A is basically doing a reading. So if you've done mentalism for any decently lengthy period of time, you've probably already got a ton of ways to do this already.

If I ever get to perform a Q&A act, this would be the way I'd do it.
I just love the image of a mind reader gazing into a crystal ball and revealing thoughts and answering questions. Great video of Tim Conover, he really was an amazing performer. Unbelievably energetic! |

I do sometimes Q&A with crystal ball as well.
The crystal ball as any powerful and stereotypical prop for us as mystery performers should be studied in the context. Get classic and old gems from Nelson for example and adapt it to your own needs. You can also study more modern methods and apply a crystal ball as part of the dramatic visuals. All the best Click here to view attached image.

Thank you for the couple ideas. I purchased thanks to j100Taylor his suggestion and although I have been busy and have not finished it yet this seems to be exactly what I was searching for. So a huge thank you for pointing that out to me. I think I might have to tweek it to fit me a bit more but that is fine by me. Thank you again.

If this drinki8ng thing had a Chevy Chase in it as well you could have a whole Spies Like Us Q&A act and really take it in different directions.

I have never understood the positive reaction of audience members when my 4" crystal ball comes out of the briefcase. It is like an old friend has just walked into the room. (Is this an old friend from childhood perhaps?)
Stereotyped? Yes. Able to elicit a positive response? I've yet to see people scoff at it. |

Absolutely love Conover's performance. You should check out Florian Severin's What Lies Inside for a neat effect called "Shroompledai" that --while not a Q&A-- has some nice work on spectator-as-mind-reader using a crystal ball. It may, or may not, clue in some to Conover's approach to the serial number divination.
