Description & Effect
Revolutionizing the 'Thought of Card' Plot
Step into the future of mentalism with Michael Murray's Polarity, his most ingenious and streamlined work on the classic 'think a card' plot to date. For years, mentalists have sought the perfect, hands-off method for divining a freely thought-of playing card. Building upon the foundational principles of his acclaimed 2017 release, Polarity emerges as the elegant, simplified answer, meticulously crafted to eliminate the heavy memory work often associated with such powerful effects. This digital download grants you access to a groundbreaking method that allows you to read minds with unprecedented ease and impact.
An Unforgettable, Hands-Off Experience
The demonstration begins with you handing two specially designed, credit card-sized plastic cards to your participant. They are invited to freely flip and turn these cards, completely sight unseen by you, before locking a singular playing card firmly in their mind. The magic truly unfolds as you, the performer, already possess the precise knowledge of their thought. You never need to touch the cards again, nor do you ever need to see their final configuration. Polarity is a truly hands-off miracle where the participant makes seemingly free choices, yet their mental selection is always an open book to you. Better yet, this ingenious system allows for stunning revelations for up to three different participants in a single, captivating performance.
Engineered for Effortless Mastery
Polarity's custom plastic cards are not just props; they are a sophisticated mechanism designed to take on almost all the heavy lifting, leaving you with virtually no memory work to perform. This means you can master the entire effect in mere minutes, focusing entirely on your presentation. The compact size of the cards ensures they slip effortlessly into any wallet or business card case, making Polarity an ideal everyday carry. Experience the thrill of performing a super direct, no-logic-puzzle, thought-of-card reveal that feels utterly impossible to your audience. Even though not explicitly designed for virtual shows, its inherent design allows for incredibly strong online performances, as demonstrated by Michael himself.
Original Specs
Way back in 2017 Michael Murray released what many now refer to as the bible of the 'thought of card' plot. Owing to the work involved in memorising that system, many customers begged for a simpler alternative. Fast forward to 2024 and Michael is very proud to release his most streamlined work on the 'think a card' plot to date.
The magician/mentalist opens the demonstration by showing how the two plastic cards supplied can be used to generate any one of the 52 possible playing cards. Handing the two cards to the participant they flip and turn the cards sight unseen by the performer before locking one singular playing card in mind.
Without ever needing to take the cards back and without ever needing to see them, the magician/mentalist already knows the exact thoughts that are in the participants mind and is all set to reveal their thought of card. Better still, this can be done with multiple participants allowing the performer to reveal up to three different playing cards in any one performance.
The custom plastic cards supplied are designed to elevate almost all of the work leaving the performer with little to no memory work. The cards themselves are credit card size allowing them to fit into a single credit card slot of your wallet or business card case.
The participant has genuine free choices over which cards to flip and how the cards are turned yet you will always know the outcome before you even hand the cards to them. Whilst this effect wasn’t designed to be performed via a virtual medium, you can witness Michael do just that on his video performance for Craig Petty (see video below).
