Poker Chip Magic, is about pretty magic. Introducing some poker chips into an act can add extra color. They go well with cards and utilize some standard coin moves but look a bit different. The three routines presented use colorful chips in productions, transpositions and many color changes. The four chapters present three routines with poker chips. The first chapter is how to make your own chips with a computer and photographic paper. In one of the tricks, two playing cards are twirled about the fingers. With each twirl, a poker chip appears between the cards. The next trick is like a sponge bowl routine but done with poker chips and two cards. The two cards are crossed on the table and the poker chips disappear one at a time to appear under the cards. In the final trick, three chips are carried in a handkerchief. The handkerchief is opened and spread on a table to reveal the chips. The poker chips change color one at a time. Then they change color again. Then they change color again. This would make a great walk around trick for it resets itself and it can be performed while standing beside a table. Fold up the handkerchief and you are ready for the next table. This trick requires skill and intense practice. Note: to see all Al Schneider books; use the following key words in a search, "Al Schneider Magic."
