Hello, long time lurker here. I'm sure there have been posts on this in the past but I'd like to get some feedback. I've been doing magic and mentalism for about 7 years, and I often pick magicians to study their work as best as I can for periods of time to figure out what styles best suit me, and I've been doing a lot of work lately on Q&A routines and I have it pretty well down but I can't find what way suits me best to begin the Q&A before I make the first s***** or p***. I was playing with "clear choice" from thinking paradox but I don't necessarily like the post it note aspect. When performing for smaller groups I try to go with a variation of AOK but I'm trying to put something together for bigger groups, I like how Bob Cassidy started name and place, but more often than not I feel handling folded billets feels fishy, (strictly from a presentation standpoint) something I'm willing to work past that. so I was wondering, without giving away any methods if you had any ideas to improve a q&a from the start before you really get into the moves. If that makes any sense? Thanks in advance

A pretty standard q&a with billets, randomly picking them up and revealing what is inside, Im trying to ask how to make it a better presentation before the meat of the routine really starts.

What would you think would be the best presentation? What would impress you?

I think the biggest issue I have with Q&A routines that I've seen is that they're boring. Don't let it become just a round of saying words. I think Derren Brown's Q&A (Which he calls The Oracle Act) was done very well. I think it was in Mind Reader and Evening of Wonders.
