This book is a tribute to the clever tricksters who take delight in persuading audiences that they possess extraordinary psychic powers.

The Q&A format is the oldest mentalism routine, tracing back thousands of years. Within these pages, you’ll discover the roots of what we now recognize as mind reading, psychometry, and prediction.

Having practiced mentalism for four decades, I have refined my craft over the last twenty years, focusing primarily on the Q&A and its variations.

The current methods I employ require only a pen or two, some un-gaffed business cards or blank cards, and possibly envelopes. Most importantly, these techniques can be performed solo. I’ve included all the methods I’ve utilized, some of which are previously published, while many are new.

The psychology behind the Q&A is crucial; it encompasses my beliefs about credibility, how to respond to inquiries, what to avoid, and the ethics of answering questions. These elements are essential for a successful Q&A performance.

The first section of this book delves into psychological strategies and my insights on delivering a convincing Q&A performance. The second section focuses on practical techniques, providing you with a variety of methods suitable for any performance setting, from intimate gatherings to stage shows.

Welcome to Multidimensional Q&A, a masterclass designed for the contemporary solo performer.

“Wow! Wow! Wow! What an incredible book. I’ve been performing various types of Q&A for more than fifty years, and thought I knew it all. I was wrong. Multi-Dimensional Q&A is the most comprehensive and erudite book ever written on this important subject. I knew this book would be exciting and well worth reading, but you’ve surpassed yourself, and I learned a great deal from it. The information in Chapter One, especially the sections on ethics, the Tarot and Q&A, and first-person visualization, are worth the price of the book on their own, and that’s only a few pages out of the 400! The sensational answer you gave on page 148 is the best I’ve ever come across, and I’ll be using it regularly from now on. I’ll be amazed if this book doesn’t become the mentalism book of the year. Congratulations! You’ve written what will become one of the classic books on mentalism.”
