If you want to learn how to do a message reading, mentalism Q&A Act and want clear instructions for what to do and how to do it, this is not where I would start. This recorded teleseminar is more of a rambling history lesson than a how to do Q&A program.

Bob Cassidy quickly talks about lots and lots of different methods, what they are called and who invented them and when they were invented, but your left on your own for how to put them together. I guess if you want a history lesson in the Q&A act or are already experienced in doing a Q&A routine you may find this CD useful.

But if you have no experience with Q&A and are looking for a ready to perform routine and method with step-by-step instructions there are much better places to start, like Richard Osterlind's Thought Scan (on his Mind Mysteries DVDs), or Osterlind's Final Answer Q&A routine, or his Vinyl Folder Q&A on the Sapphire Collection DVD.

I am very happy with this purchase. I am working on a Q&A and a long-term project and this really clarified options for the mechanics, definitions, resources to pursue, and more. A lot of the things I've been wondering for a long time were asked by Michael Weber, who did an outstanding job asking Bob Cassidy to describe so many ideas of value. If you are serious about learning to perform a solid Q&A, this is remarkably helpful.

The titling of this product is confusing. It is billed as a "teleseminar", a CD and a DVD. Actually it is none of the above. It is a disc, but it cannot be used on a CD player because it's an MP3 format. It isn't a DVD because there is nothing to see, only audio. And it shouldn't be termed "TELE...anything" because there's no video.

In short: Penguin has done a through job of misleading its customers.
