Michael Murray’s ‘Experimental’ Lecture Notes

In May 2023, Michael Murray showcased his ‘Experimental’ lecture at the annual ‘May Day of Magic’ mini-convention in Darlington. Due to popular demand, he has made a limited number of his lecture notes available worldwide for those who couldn’t attend.

These notes come with several props to enhance the concepts discussed within.

Michael emphasizes that this lecture is experimental in both title and execution, featuring ideas that were previewed for the first time. Some concepts are still in development and will be refined for future releases.
