Product detailed description

This booklet collects nine of Michael Murray’s new and previously published ideas. They can be applied to close-up and stage settings.

• Thirteen Steps to Creativity - An essay detailing tried and tested techniques to unlock your true creative potential.
• Selling the Reaction - ****A solid method for increasing the perceived reaction to countless effects.
• Wordsmith Effects - Three effects requiring nothing more than the use of words.
• The Collective Conscious - Connect with your audience and generate a standing ovation to the conclusion of your show.
• Directional Intuition - A method that seemingly allows you to both identify and resolve an unsolved problem that is exclusively locked within the mind of your spectator.
• Crowd Control - A method that allows you to implant thoughts and control the actions of a spectator (opens up a whole new approach to some of the more popular mentalism plots).
  • Note: This has been slightly updated from the original handling published in the limited edition of A Piece Of My Mind.
• One in Ten Thousand - A method in which your spectator is seemingly able to intuit your PIN or Mobile Unlock Code (uses a borrowed iPhone).
• Perfect Opener - A nice follow-up effect to "One in Ten Thousand," where the spectators correctly intuited the number is clearly shown to be the exact unlock code for your mobile.
• The Svengali Forcing Pad - This includes a full examination of both the introduction and subsequent use of this amazing tool.
• What is in a Name? In this routine, you are seemingly able to reveal both a spectator's name and star sign, and better still, you can teach your spectator how to do it, too!
• The Ringer - This is a method for ringing in a preshow volunteer into your show, allowing you to capitalize upon previously forced information via a Sven Pad.
