The Big Blind by Craig Petty

Now available at www.magiciansmagicshop.com

 Three poker chips. A freely named card. One impossible prediction.

Turn a simple betting game into a powerful piece of magic with Big Blind by Craig Petty.

Three poker chips are on display from the start. A spectator names any playing card, and you propose three bets: you’ll correctly predict its suit, its value, and prove you knew their selection before the game even began.

One by one, the chips go into your spectator’s hand. When the chips are turned over, the name of their chosen card is revealed—printed across the backs of all three chips.

The choice is free. The chips are never switched. And the prediction ends up right in their hands.

With its familiar poker theme and direct reveal, Big Blind gives your audience an easy plot to follow and an ending they won’t see coming.

Features include:

• No forces: Any playing card can be named.

• No switches: The chips are in view from the beginning.

• Perform surrounded: Suitable for walkaround and close-up settings.

• Easy handling: Requires just one basic sleight.

• Compact props: Packs small with a reveal that can play to larger audiences.

• Versatile presentations: Explore routines for close-up, walkaround, parlor, stage, and television.

Big Blind comes complete with high-quality poker chips and the special props needed to perform the effect. The carefully developed design brings everything together in a practical package.

You’ll also receive over two hours of detailed video instruction from Craig Petty, including live performances, handling tips, and dozens of routines and ideas to help you explore the possibilities.

A bonus creative jam session with Lloyd Barnes offers even more presentations and inventive ways to use your Big Blind props.
