Guerilla Q&A by Jerome Finley

Jerome Finley – Guerilla Q&A

PDF

It is with great pleasure that I write this review of Jerome Finley's work, 'Guerrilla Q&A'.

I will try to cover as much of the outstanding content as I possibly can, but beware what you find may only start you drooling for more. As much as I would like to accomadate you, I will forever remain "tight lipped" about the hardcore content within. And ohhhh, what a great work it is.

I will try to be as organized as possible with the review. Here are the items covered:

1. Book quality/layout/Buying information

2. Content by section

3. My personal thoughts

4. Conclusion/Rating

1. Book Quality, Layout, Buying Info

The manuscript is pretty well put together, spiral bound, 8 1/2 x 11 (ditto page size), and has a nice plastic cover sheet protecting the "cogs" and "mechanisms" photo used as a background for the title. It has a nice large font for ease of reading, perhaps 14 or 16, and is word processed on heavy bond paper. It contains 156 pages of text, and on the inside cover is Jerome's signature and the year 08'. This page total includes the Sources/References, as well as the "Thanks" and "Credits" pages at the end. The only problem I have with this layout is that there are NO PAGE NUMBERS, which I did not like.

The manuscript can be purchased directly through Jerome's web site. Navigate to the Inner Thoughts section of this forum, and Jerome's Ad Banner can be found on the top right of the page. If you are at all serious about obtaining this material, please know that entering this section requires 50 plus posts, and a $399.00 payment for the manuscript. It is a limited edition item, 50 physical units total. Note also, that the site is password protected.

2. Content By Section

Introduction, Opening Words from the Author

The manuscipt opens with seven pages devoted to an Introduction by John Riggs (he sounds familiar!), and opening words from the Author.

The Methods

Three methods (main sections of the book) are discussed in depth.

'Method 1' deals with having questions written down, collected, and then openly read by the Psychic. He then goes on to produce entertaining answers.

'Method 2' deals with having people raise their hands, psychic taking his/her pick of questions (not written), and has the spectator ask his/her question. He goes on to answer with mindblowing answers.

'Method 3' deals with Jerome's 'Free Range Q&A'. Audience members only THINK of their questions, and psychic receives these thoughts, and goes on to give detailed answers! WOW!

You may already be thinking of something that Jerome has already (just before this section) addressed based on the above "Method Sections". What about the part where you secretly glimpse/peek/steal/switch/etc. to get what is written down? The simple answer, in Jerome's experience, is YOU DON'T NEED TO!!! That's right, over hundreds of performances, he has found no further impact than if you just ask the spectator's their questions outright! Spectators want ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS, they don't care how you got the questions, PERIOD!

'Method 1' Written Messages: Open Faced Q&A

With index cards, Pencils, and a collection basket/bowl/etc you are off to the races. Each person is instructed to provide certain items on the card, and hand it in. (If you want the specifics, buy this!)

Devious Ploys Section (following 'Method 1')

There are some oustanding pieces of kit here. a number of brilliant techniques, systems, ploys, fakes, etc. are offered to enhance the 'Method 1' act. Included here are example uses of each ploy/technique with sample scripts! Great stuff! Multiple systems, one ahead, blinfold, marked cards, and business cards are covered.

'Method 2' Direct Questions & Answers

Ultra direct method getting the same results as the written question act, but forgoes the pencils/papers, saves time, and allows performer time to answer more questions. Here Jerome covers using this method of Q&A adding numerology, and the zodiac signs.
