Chip Reader is a custom designed set of 5 professional grade ceramic poker chips that will allow you to directly read minds.
Here’s what happens:
You tip out 5 completely different poker chips from a small velvet bag. With your back turned, your participant freely chooses one – no procedure, no force – then holds the chip tightly in their hand. They keep the bag – you never touch it. Now you turn around and, while they think of their chosen chip, begin to identify details of the chip before correctly announcing the exact chip they are looking at.
Chip Reader is easy to do but it looks and feels like real mind reading.
- No peeks
- No forces
- No switches
- No apps
- Nothing written down
- Only 5 chips are used
- You need never touch the chips at all

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
This strong mentalism effect certainly delivers as advertised. Though I think Dave could have gone much farther with this in terms of the design (versatility: casino chip looking more realistic), the approach to this classic method certainly accomplishes the goals of eschewing that “fishing” expedition to deliver a fair priced and powerful mental effect.
