Hey guys,
I got this booklet a few days ago and think that it is really good. I have seen a few Q & A routines before and ALL use the standard methods. But in this routine you can forget about those other methods. Talk about a bold way to do a Q & A routine! It made me smile when I read the booklet. I never would have thought of doing it this way. I really can't go into detail what the book said without tipping the method, but I will tell you that this is some good thinking. Best Ray |

My copy of Super Simple Q & A arrived today and I am quite pleased with the ideas/presentation and methodology.
An added plus is that it is a reasonable price for a good performance piece. This is definitely a series of ideas/tools/presentations I will keep and use when needed. It is workable and easy. 100% true add copy. I would have added the following to the advertising copy. That it could be done impromptu almost at a moments notice. Literally an act that one could put together and perform with borrowed items. An act that can be done at a banquet or theater show. Yep an act that if you needed to could be done with borrowed objects. And that you could be paid over a thousand dollars for. (If you put the work into scripting and rehearsal). Yep if a wrote the advertising copy things like that would be included. Also I might raise the price about five to ten bucks. But I have great admiration for clever and well considered things such as this. Now to answer the questions I know may be coming via PM let me answer publicly. It is something I would have immediately placed into my shows maybe five years ago. Why is that you may ask? Why not now? Let me explain in the interest of full disclosure. It was a purchase made to confirm that it was not similar to a methodology/presentation from my own work. This is something I think all creators do. It is especially nice when checking unearths a good idea that is not like a presentation/methodology of your own. (And one you find to be of value and will be used in the future). That is just the case in this instance. I am pleased on both counts. (This is often the case for me when purchasing things that interest me from Leaping Lizards). Side note: If you do not have it, definitely purchase Hidden Numerical Forces when you go to pick this current offering up. It is great and loaded with killer ideas and tools. Now back to S.S. Q & A. It is the type of thing that moves me. Everything Sean posted in his review I agree with.. Good deal for anyone looking for a simple Q&A in fact there are two presentations. And I like both. Heck why would anyone want a hard Q&A presentation. Thanks, Jim

I agree with everything said here. Such a simple method... and that's what makes it a good one.

Shhh ... don't tell anyone about this. It's a bargain for $15, even $20, even $45 ... but PLEASE don't buy this unless you have experience doing mentalism. Q&A is not a beginner's "trick". It is a miracle in the correct hands. This is really good stuff.
I love Q&A and have purchased just about everything I could find, with the exception of Jerome Finley's GUERILLA Q&A... I just couldn't afford it, as I don't perform for a living ... although as of January 6th, I became a casualy of the economy (read, I was laid off from my day job as a software engineer after almost 12 years with the company). Super Simple Q&A is a welcome addition to my library of Q&A methods, ideas and routines. Dave Birtwell |

Hey David! Sorry about you being laid off work I bought the e-book a couple of days ago and completely agree with you and rest of the lads! It could easily be used for theatre show too which is also great!
I would use a hidden in plain sight assistant who would do the work for me Simple but killer |

I have posted elsewhere that I thought this was an amazing idea and routine. It is very "minimal" and I am sure this idea will appeal to many.

Nice. Very similar to methods that already exists decades ago, but a quite good update has been done. I think this method will suit a lot better for Q&A and psychics that for a data-type act.
It is usable for differents audience sizes and that's great. |

I'm a corporate entertainer, I do mentalism for living and I read and study a lot.
And I'm sorry to say that I don't like it. Let me explain why. The underlying method is old (Burling Hull's), "explored" before by Cassidy and Osterlind, and I was aware of it. So, nothing new under the sun. There's a difference in handling (we'll call it "the move") that makes the presentation weak and questionable by a normal member of a normal audience (in my Country, at least). The alternative presentation, where the spectators do not reveal their names, is an old ruse that I found before in other publications, but it cannot stand alone and is not above suspicion. IMHO, of course, and in a constructive way (I hope!). Please, forgive my english, I'm from Italy... andrea

It's not a one-to-one presentation, if I understand the question.

No, on E books it is USUALLY only 48 hours, tops... Though we have our fair share of lost e mails etc over the years. In fact... at this moment you should already have yours.
