A PIECE OF MYMIND MICHAEL MURRAY PDF TRIAL
Over the next few months this idea was given a huge amount of thought and with a lot of trial and error on my part this gem was polished into something that Iʼm dearly proud of. It was evident that more work would be needed to transform this idea from an add-on to an existing routine, to a fully-fledged routine that could stand on its own in both a close-up and stage environment. Whilst it did seem to generate a good response of sorts it quickly became evident that this was best suited as part of a larger stage or parlor routine rather than a solo close up performance piece. I could now openly write four numbers, re-arrange them and then have a single spectator announce that it generated their PIN number! This was a huge break through for me and even Pete Turner himself seemed impressed enough to want to include the idea within his working repertoire! In itʼs infantile state I began road testing the idea within a close up environment. The result of this allowed me to complete the puzzle. This discussion reminded me of my previous efforts which I proceeded to share with Peter and my good friend Steve Shaw (Not of Banachek fame) within ten to fifteen minutes of brainstorming with them I had an epiphany. During a discussion with Peter he mentioned a routine that he had published in his book “Bigger Fish” which culminated in a PIN reveal. Moving forward to August 2012 I had all but forgot about this plot until I had the good fortune to meet Peter Turner whom I consider to be one of the greatest thinkers in mentalism to date. This opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me and ultimately brought me one step closer to my goal. Step forward Haim Goldenberg who produced a remarkable revelation system titled "Cryptext". Whilst I loved the premise and rationale of my idea I always wished that I could have the audience verify that I had written some numbers before the final reveal (Iʼm being purposefully vague to protect the original secret). Iʼm happy to report that this method flew by everyone including those who were familiar with the original effect. As a side note I strongly suggest that if you donʼt yet own the three volumes of “Psychological Subtleties” then you should head over to and pick them up! Over the years I enjoyed working my version in both casual close-up performances and even used it as part of my award winning mentalism act for my local Magic Circle. Thankfully Banachek seemed to like my take enough to publish it in “Psychological Subtleties 3” under the title “Your (Redundant) PIN Number” (page 183). Fast forward about eight years and I plucked up the courage to e-mail Banachek with my take on “Subtle Telephone” in which the “Telephone” number was replaced with a “PIN” number. Banachek states that this is his re-working of an idea which he originally saw in “Magick” this is credited to a gentleman by the name of Tony Raven.

Without you there would be no me and as a result this book would not exist! I am so proud to have you as my parents and I want to thank you both for all that you have given me in life, your generosity knows no bounds and I know that you have sacrificed so much to keep me smiling. De!cation: “I dedicate this book to my parents.
