Poker Chip Mystery: A Mind-Bending Effect
Experience the astonishing Poker Chip Mystery, where six poker chips numbered 0 to 10 are shuffled by a spectator. They arrange the chips on a table without any input from the mentalist. While the performer turns their back, the spectator flips over a few chips, covering three of them with a playing card, business card, or coaster. Upon turning back, the performer confidently reveals the total of the concealed chips—no tricks, no deception. Remarkably, this effect can be repeated instantly with a different outcome.
This effect is perfect for parties, gatherings, and bars, making it easy to perform while waiting for others. It’s always ready to go, requiring no magnets, mirrors, external gimmicks, or palming. You won’t need any assistants or stooges, and once you hand the chips to the spectator, you won’t touch them again throughout the routine.
This revised and expanded edition includes additional insights, illustrations, and bonus content to help you maximize the impact of this incredible effect.
