"This book is your future, a textbook that could give you a successful lifetime career in mentalism." -Banachek

"Gerry McCambridge is one of the world's most successful mystery performers. His unique Q&A eminently qualifies him to author a definitive guide." -Ross Johnson

What will he teach?

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 to not only read an audience members mind and figure out what their questions are, you also answer the question for them.

Gerry McCambridge has been performing his unique blindfolded Q&A act for over 30 years. He has performed it over 5,000 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 act 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 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 Cancelling Methods
  • How to Blindfold Yourself
  • And Much More!

Who is he?

Gerry has been a Las Vegas headliner for over 13 years. He was voted the "Best Magic Show" in Las Vegas by the Las Vegas Review Journal readers poll. Gerry is a recipient of the Psychic Entertainers Association "Dunninger Memorial Award" for Excellence in the Performance of Mentalism, as well as the "Dan Blackwood Award" for Outstanding Contributions to the Art of Mentalism. Gerry was also awarded "Mentalist of the Year" in 2008 by the International Magicians Society, as well as "Mentalist of the Decade" in 1999.

Eeek- Awful Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 16th, 2018
Wow, being insulting and mean to your audience is not how an "entertainer" should treat people paying to see a performer. Jokes that aren't funny, and in fact mean, is just awful. Very upsetting.

Disappointed Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 19th, 2018
The trailer included teasers not in the instructions. It implied it was his whole act, not just the Q&A portion. The video also made many referrals and plus for his book. It may be a great book but I purchased something claiming to be his "complete" act. Why would I need the book?

If the trailer and promo email had managed my expectations better I might have felt it was worth it. I did not enjoy the interview format. I love and highly regard Dan Harlan, and he did an excellent job, even so I did not feel I got my money's worth here.

a lot of filler Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 15th, 2018
His act is old-school Vegas, with plenty of not-funny, not-respectful humor.

Beyond that, there's perhaps five minutes of actual performance and another 15 minutes of warm up and non-magic that's hardly worth learning because, as I said, he's a bit of a jerk.

Then, the explanation begins with tons of biography and other non-useful filler. It turns out that in real life he's not a jerk, which is nice to see, but more filler.

And finally, the actual effect he accomplishes after all of this isn't nearly as amazing as the preview video would imply.

Disappointing.

Gerry McCambridge Live Act Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 14th, 2018
I absolutely LOVED Gerry McCambridge LIVE ACT! The first 23 minutes are a full performance of Gerry performing his Q&A act in Las Vegas. The next 2 hours or so are Gerry discussing with Dan Harlan how he does it.

Gerry explains and demonstrates how he puts on his duct tape blind & blind fold, how he gets the information, how he answers questions, what types of slips he does not use, how he makes leap of faith guesses (and what to do when they miss), how he cancels methods, how he provides answers in a way that lift people up, give them encouragement, and so much more.

This is a WONDERFUL video course on Gerry's approach to the blindfold Q&A and an outstanding companion to his book, Performing the Q&A.

Highly recommended.

Great Lecture Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 16th, 2018
Thanks so much for sharing this lecture with us, Gerry. I've seen your show twice already and love it. A full performance of his Q and A act in his vegas show, followed by a lot of great info and tips, not just methods, but other very important things, like how to control your audience, what to do in certain difficult situations, etc. Great stuff. Thanks.

Absolutely Brilliant Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 15th, 2018
The amount of tips, advice and teachings in this one download are spellbinding. No other Mentalist alive today has more real world experience in performing Q&A for REAL PEOPLE. If you, like me, have always wanted to perform Q&A but never felt comfortable, Gerry takes you through all of it. Best purchase I've made.

A must have for professional mentalists Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 15th, 2018
Gerry has very generously shared the meat of his Q & A Act, including how to get the information, how to feed it back to the audience, and most importantly: how to make it meaningful. This is the ONLY Q & A Act I've seen on a stage that has actually felt meaningful.
Learn from this man, he knows how to create an experience people will remember for the rest of their lives.

Just not complete Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 23rd, 2018
I can't quite understand why in explaining a routine that so heavily relies on billets and a box - we don't get a look at the billets he uses (paper type, size etc) or what happens inside the box during performance. I imagine the book goes through these points, but I purchased the explanation of the Act and am left wanting.

Not bad but why is he so arrogant ? Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 3rd, 2020
The performance itself is not bad. But why is he so arrogant and cynical with his spectators ? This is exactly the opposite of the true spirt of a Q&A act... Some kindness would be welcome, Gerry !

Gerry McCambridge Live Act Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 23rd, 2018

I can’t imagain anyone not coming alway from this not learning valuable information from a true professional.

I have seen Gerry perform this in New York & Las Vegas.
He’s a master of the Q&A.

The blindfold work alone is worth the price of admission.

Bravo Gerry !
