Michael performed this for me over the phone earlier in the week. This is a fast effect and he nailed my thought of card twice in a row, the eight of clubs. The process was fast, engaging and mysterious. I really enjoyed it
I'm looking forward to its release, Best, Séa
I love post its

Thanks Séa, it is always a pleasure speaking with you!
This is half way written up (sadly the kids school holidays are zapping my time). I hope to have it complete real soon and will then send it to a few close friends for proofing. Best Wishes Michael

The first draught of this is almost complete and I am tempted to produce a DVD to accompany it too. Will keep everyone informed of the progress
Best Wishes Michael

Michael, I am looking forward to the release. If a DVD is made to accompany the book (ebook?), I hope a download option will be available.

Sincere apologies for the lack of updates on this. It has grown into a monster of a routine and at every point I thought it couldn't be pushed further new boundaries were broken.
This will now be released as a hardback book with a DVD (which is scheduled for filming in a week's time). The DVD itself is designed to be a teaching tool to allow you to practice the technique yourself and as such will contain repeated performances where you, the learner of the effect must deduce the card that someone has in mind. I am super excited to get this one released! Best Wishes Michael

When did we move to this era were single effects are now being pushed as hardback books with accompanying DVDs? With the price tag to match no doubt. Bob Cassidy, Barrie Richardson Derren Brown etc managed to release hardback books that were crammed full of brilliant routines for the same price that people are charging for single effects. I was very surprised indeed to see Michael Murray charging people for his thoughts on 'Proteus'. I sincerely hope that wasn't an example of a new approach, as I've always found him to be one of the most trustworthy producers of mentalism material.

Hi Martin, I hope that you are well! I know that you have been absent from the Café for a while so may have missed some info that may shed some light on things that may help in giving you an insight into my thinking
My approach to Proteus was solely designed and written as a completely free bonus for everyone who purchased the Proteus book from my site MindFX. This was designed as a thank you for the support my regular customers have shown and also a slight incentive for those that perhaps hadn't used my site before. After releasing the supplement I received countless requests for access to it. To begin I did start sending it out to others for free but the amount of requests grew considerably. Baring in mind that I run my business on my own I had to take the time to verify that each of these people did indeed own the original book and then had to manually compose and email each person with the relevant file accordingly. To do this I would have had to sacrifice either time with the family or time out of the business and on top of this I would have lost the appeal of any new customer coming direct to me. As such I took the decision to put a small charge on it of £4.99 which after tax covered my time and this, in my opinion a happy compromise. Upon reflection it is very evident that my time would have been better spent on other things than opening this up to others but it was a lesson learned, maybe I would have had Isolation finished if I hadn't done this ha ha As for Isolation, this project has grown massively since it first began. The DVD itself is not being used as a way of increasing the value of the project as it isn't a tutorial DVD as such. Instead this is going to contain countless demonstrations of the main routine and some of its many subsections so that it can be used as a learning tool for owners of the project to test themselves. As such I think this will be a most welcomed addition that has not been added just for the sake of it. Other than the limited edition version of APOMM all of my other publications have been in either e-book or soft bound booklet form. This one I feel is far more unique and should deservedly stand out from the rest of the items that I offer. Isolation is far more than just a prop-less thought of card routine, it is an in-depth study of countless linguistic ploys and techniques which can be used outside of the scope of a mere think a card routine. Each of these has been broken down and explained making it more of a toolbox of principles and techniques rather than just a singular routine publication. In my personal opinion Isolation presents some of my best thinking to date and is something that I am very proud of (and believe me I am more critical of myself than anyone else ever could be) and as such I want to both package and present this in the nicest way possible to frame this. As I am so tired of my material being torrented of late I am also reluctant to let this one go as a download item too. Price wise I haven't yet committed to a value, this certainly won't be something that will break the bank. No matter what your views are of my thoughts I won't loose any respect for anyone over this, they are after all only my thoughts alone and we are all equally entitled to our own opinions even if they do differ at times. Even the greatest of friends never see eye to eye on anything haha Best Wishes and respect to all! Michael

Ha ha, I should really get someone to proof my posts first ha ha
Without critique and questioning we may also never realise that there is another point of view to consider. Understanding the whys are often more valuable than understanding the whats as it is these elements that allow us to see the bigger picture and thus make a more informed choice/opinion on ANY subject matter or topic. If everyone agreed on everything and if everyone liked the same thing there would be little progress and life would quickly become boring. Expressing a difference of opinion can be a healthy, stimulating and mutually beneficial exercise.

Hi Michael, thank you for your reply. Considered and measured as always. As I said -and as I hope you know- I'm a long time fan of both your work and your business approach. However, I think you got it wrong on Proteus. You could have simply posted your ideas in the Proteus Facebook page, as many others have done. I think that would have been the right thing to do. I think we go down a slippery slope if people immediately start charging for their handlings of other people's newly released effects.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with your new release. The idea of an interactive video to 'train" sounds great. Regards, Martin. |

A bigger book & a DVD is a great idea.
Will make it easier to understand & perfect. Pleased that this will be available in the near future & I am pleased you have waited, as the more information & ideas that are contained , the better the project will be. Mike Donoghue |
