C.H.I.P.S. by Jasper Blakeley and Alan Wong, Presented by Peter Turner

C.H.I.P.S. is a BRAND NEW method of mind-reading and unbelievably you don't need batteries!

Until now magicians have relied on electronics for this level of hands-off 'chosen-object' routines, but C.H.I.P.S. is a fail-safe entirely mechanical effect that looks impossible - you have the power without needing power!

From the creative mind of Jasper Blakeley, and brought to life by master prop-maker Alan Wong, comes C.H.I.P.S., a versatile set of colorful poker chips that you can carry in your pocket, but at a moment's notice you can perform an incredibly powerful, yet simple, demonstration of intuition and body language.

The Effect:

The performer approaches a table and asks if he can join the group. The performer explains that he's very good at spotting liars and asks if the group would like him to prove it. Five different coloured poker chips are taken out of a small velvet bag and laid in a row on the table, and with the performer's back turned, one at a time the spectators pick up a poker chip and hide it in their fist behind their back. The performer now turns around and says he's only looking for the blue chip and asks each of the five people if they have it but asks them each to reply by saying 'no'. The performer immediately knows who has the blue chip and who is the liar. The performer waits and inevitably he's asked to perform it again and again and again - he never fails.

Originally created by Jasper over a decade ago in various guises, it took the interest of master mentalist Peter Turner to help bring this to life. The video instructions and multiple live performances, along with in-depth new and original ideas from both Jasper and Peter, means that C.H.I.P.S. becomes a springboard for creativity - once you know the method, you'll be coming up with never-before thought of routines for mentalism.

So whether it's casual social performances or even a stand-up cabaret or parlour, C.H.I.P.S. offers, for the first time, a fool-proof fail-safe method of 'chosen object' in hand. C.H.I.P.S.can be performed for one, two, three, four or five people.

Bonus features include an amazing Peter Turner 'one person three poker chip which pocket' routine, plus a jam session with loads of amazing ideas.

The props are custom made and are bright, visual and durable (as well as being clever) but the props are only as good as the routine and C.H.I.P.S. is an incredibly easy to perform instant reset routine that is fun, entertaining, astounding and impossible.

C.H.I.P.S. - no batteries needed!
