The Big Blind by Craig Petty

Let a spectator name any playing card, then reveal it with three poker chips that have been in view from the start. In The Big Blind, by Craig Petty, each chip represents a bet—and together, their backs spell out the exact card they thought of.

Bring this direct card revelation to walkaround sets, parlor shows, or the stage. It packs small, so you can carry it when you want a focused moment of mentalism in your set.

• Any named card The spectator can think of any playing card; no force is used.
• Chips in view The three poker chips are out from the beginning, with no switches.
• Practical handling The routine is easy to do and uses one basic sleight.
• Props included You receive high-quality poker chips and the special props needed for the effect.
• In-depth instruction Craig Petty teaches the routine in over two hours of instruction and live performances, with additional routines and a bonus jam session with Lloyd Barnes.

The reveal gives you a clear, memorable finish: the spectator’s freely named card appears across the backs of the chips. It’s a compact piece to add to a set when you want a playing-card revelation that can play beyond close-up.
