Michael Murray - Springboard
PDF
To read someone's mind creates a mystery. To empower them to read yours creates a MIRACLE!
"Mike Murray has devised what is possibly the most important new playing card mentalism concept of the last decade. It's a truly devious idea, one which allows you to empower the spectator in a way that seems completely unfathomable. He has found a holy grail that we didn't even know we were looking for..."
- Mark Elsdon
"Springboard is an excellent read. I enjoyed Michaels unusual approach and application of a simple principle that together I am confident can create astonishing reactions for everyone!" - Luke Jermay
The mentalism world is currently abuzz with rumour and excitement.
Apparently, someone has made an incredible leap forward in the field. Someone has developed a method for the most convincing demonstration of 'spectator as mind reader' EVER. That someone is Michael Murray and that method is 'Springboard'.
We realise that, in the world of magic and mentalism, there's a lot of 'hype'. This is not hype. 'Springboard' looks and FEELS like THE REAL THING!
How can a spectator accurately divine your thoughts Here's one possible scenario:
You have a spectator think of a card from the deck. You explain that you are also thinking of a card and that you will teach the spectator how to actually read your mind! Your spectator, using their own thoughts as a 'springboard', mentally develops an image of the card that YOU have in mind. You remove a card from the deck and place it face down on the table. The spectator announces which card they think YOU are thinking of - this is the very first time they have said ANYTHING about your card - let's say they've envisaged the Seven of Spades. They turn over the card on the table and it is indeed the Seven of Spades.
That's just ONE example! This technique is LIMITLESS in its applications!
10 Key 'Springboard' facts to consider:
1. Springboard DOES NOT involve equivoque.
2. At NO POINT during the Springboard procedure does the spectator say out loud either a colour, a suit or a value - there appears to be NOTHING to give you any clue of the card they are forming a picture of.
3. NOTHING is written down during Springboard.
4. The Springboard concept is NOT exclusively for use with playing cards.
5. Springboard does NOT rely on 'dual reality'.
6. Springboard is practically impromptu - do it anytime, anywhere. (Some of the included routines don't even use the deck!)
7. Springboard is EASY TO LEARN. There is NO complicated procedure, memorisation or system to learn.
8. Springboard IS a genuine METHOD. This is not muscle reading, NLP, or interpretive guesswork.
9. Springboard does NOT rely on ambiguity or double speak.
10. And of course, Springboard does not use a stooge/instant stooge - they'll genuinely feel like they read your mind - IT'S REALLY THAT GOOD!
In addition to learning the incredible new technique that is Springboard, you’ll also learn how to expand on the concept with these show stopping routines:
1. Knowing – The original Springboard routine that started it all.
2. The Killer – A version of Kenton Kneppers seminal ‘Kollosal Killer’ routine using the principal.
3. Duplopia – Paul Vigil’s excellent ‘Diplopia’ gets the Springboard treatment.
4. McLeod’s Invisible Deck idea – Colin McCleod chips in with a BRILLIANT idea.
5. 5. Watch This – The technique is taken beyond cards - they actually tell you what TIME you’re thinking of.
