There's no need to make it so complicating. Keep it simple - focus on your presentation and apply a simple 'one ahead'. Always focus on the setting, plot and outcome of the entire presentation. Chris, This is excellent advice for Q&A group presentation but I think he is doing it for only one spectator as I read it, and one-ahead would not apply. Why not? There are many one-on-one billet effects that use multiple billets and that very method. Annemann wrote up a few (A Day in the Life was referred to earlier), and Bert Reese built a reputation with that approach. I use and still using 'one ahead' for my 1 to 1 Q&A effect. It works just fine and infact I am very comfortable with it because it is easy, efficient and direct. I love clever method But I don't usually add those in my performances. Because I believe mentalism should be easy to follow and direct to perform.

I assumed a single question requiring an answer unknown to the spectator requiring a cold read. Note to self: remember what they say about making assumptions!

Both are simple, direct, practical and very deceptive. One of these is featured in Elliott Bressler's Switchcraft. It's great to see the routine explained on DVD. The instruction is outstanding: clear, step-by-step instructions with high quality video. The Roy DVD is now on my short list of favorite mentalism purchases of 2014.
