Question and Answer

From the personal repertoire of New York mentalist Eli Bosnick, “Question and Answer” is a way to leave lasting magic with your audience long after your performance is over. Originally published in the Jerx's members only magazine, this is the first public release of the effect. In a reversal of roles, your spectator ends up reading YOUR mind in this commercial, worker routine.
Vanishing Inc does it again! Their free downloads are better than some paid effects from other magic sites. This particular video gives some great advice on how to make your mentalism particularly impactful and personal to your spectator. You have them write down a question and you write an answer for them to read after they get home. I really love this idea and think it should keep you in the spectator's mind for a long time!
I was pleasantly surprised at the great content I got from this. It was all explained clearly from start to finish and I have learned a ton in a short time. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is a beginner at magic.
Short, sweet, to the point. I like it.
Question and answer by Eli Bosnick is such a clever presentation of something that should already be in every beginner mentalists repertoire. Considering this is a free download you should absolutely get this and add it to your set! Great job Eli!
Very good content. Especially explains in great deal about peeks and the wallet and its uses to make conversations to engage an audience in a magical way. The concept of realizing mentalism beyond the moment does really leave a good impact.
Great advice on application of peek wallet
Very good idea on justification for peeks!
Love this principle! What a great way to really connect with an audience member & create a meaningful moment that they will remember!
A useful resource, but it had to be free. Essentially, you need to own a very particular wallet to perform this effect as shown. Of course, other wallets can be used, but somewhat less powerfully. This is a collection of good advice, all of which I have heard elsewhere. It serves as a good reminder though.
I have followed Eli's work on other mediums and already knew he was a genius! This piece is so insightful, it truly is his Lee Bennett Hopkins moment! Silliness aside, I truly appreciate this being made free. It's important to push magic beyond "look at me I can do some cool shit".
Brilliant idea! Can't wait to use it!! More from Eli please!!! I'm out of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved it!
This is one of the best free downloads you can get. The trick in this download is a mentalism effect by eli bosnick. The magic happens when the spectator gets home and is a private moment of magic. This is a great mentalism effect and you will perform this frequently.
Great idea here. This is a worker, for sure. As other people have discussed, it's nothing new... But this is a great application and a good idea that you can actually use. For free...... Who beside Vanishing Inc is giving out things like this? No one... VI does it again.
Excellent
Interesting presentation. Good stuff to think about.
I have seen this 2 many years ago got great reactions then I now plan to put in my act find best peek wallet I have fry some minds
Old school effect with a good, thinking-out-of-the-box performance. And it's free. What a deal!
Simply wonderful! Will give your audience a special moment they will cherish, can’t believe this was free!
I found "Question and Answer" highly enjoyable, easy to perform such a simple misdirection and yet thrilling to see the expression on your participants reaction , brilliant!
Simple and pure. Great effect.
Wonderful!
Eli’s enthusiasm and love for performing shine through in everything he does. So interesting!
Another excellent piece by one of my favorite performers.
Love the concept of the delayed effect, extending the magic beyond the moment, and having the experience follow the participant home. The impact of demonstrations of this nature can be hugely amplified and much more genuine when the person experiences a private revelation like this alone. Fantastic presentational framing and very clever justification that overcomes a common issue for a classic magician/mentalist tool. Thank you for sharing what is sure to be a reputation-maker for many!
This is the greatest magic trick ever. However I was distracted by how handsome the guy teaching it was. He should be the third partner in vanishing inc based on his handsomeness alone
Really Love this! Much better than the last mentalism download I PAID for...
Really cool idea to create a moment of genuine astonishment.
i cant say anything but WOW! This simple routine is definitely not a new method, but it surely is such a powerful way to do mentalism! what a brilliant release ! i like freebies but some of them arent that good but Vinc release such an amazing freebie once again! next to magic in mind this is a short but sweet routine! Good job!
Fabulous presentation of any method to get the info - very well done!
So crazy that you have given this away for free. Thanks!!!!!
amazing justification, I like the performance and the routine it just doesn't help too much if you want a mentalism routine that you can put into your walk around set because all the reactions happen at home. Still I loved this and as a stanch anti mentalism guy I'm starting to think about mentalism.
The method itself wasn't something new to be honest though the twist in the magic was a good idea. I think it gives insight to what makes a magic trick feel genuine and engaging. I personally don't have a peek wallet which is not necessary, but I would say is much better with it.
