Roger; all i can say is different mediums do different things. I cannot see myself working a crowd like that. But i can, and have, asked questions during spirit contacts, usually ones clients have asked me to ask.
I don't always get answers, or clear answers, and I wind up second guessing myself as to what exactly was communicated. And I have received answers that were declared to be "wrong".
My quest really is to train folks to do the communicating for themselves,...to dead loved ones, to spirit guides, to Higher Self.
Using hemi-sync and sometimes just meditation I've assisted quite a number of people to ask the questions themselves. Nine times out of ten it works.

He made some very good connections with spirits in the Afterlife, especially when he also worked simultaneously with T.J. Higgs(?), bringing messages to participants in the audience who recognised the spirit body.
He had previously explained how spirits have to lower their vibrational frequency in order to be able to make contact with the medium in various ways.
It was a very enjoyable and interesting performance but the thought crossed my mind as to why communication is seemingly always one way - from them to us.
Surely, if spirit can communicate via the medium why cannot the medium put/ask spirit about events the participant wants answers to? Wouldn`t that be the ultimate test of the validity of contact rather than the medium saying something to the audience member then asking "Does that mean anything to you?", or "Do you recognise that?", etc?
In many other ways, like saying how many brothers, sisters, etc., they had during the contact he was always correct.
Having lost my wife some 5 years ago and having had many ADC`s in the first few months of her passing I have to say that I also totally believe in such medium spirit contact, having had an excellent reading at a spiritualist church during which the medium came out with both my fiancee`s and my name. He didn`t know us from Adam and neither did anyone at the church either so nothing was "rigged". Our visit was purely on the spur of the moment.
Put simply, why cannot mediums connect with spirit in the same way that spirit can connect with them, to ensure two-way communication?
