Effect

The Hopping Chips trick presents a visually engaging routine where poker chips appear to defy logic. The magician shows two chips—one yellow and one green—and places one into a wallet or pocket. With a snap of the fingers, the chip instantly returns to the hand. The routine builds in phases, culminating in a surprising vanish where both chips disappear into the wallet. The contrasting colors enhance the visual appeal, making the effect clear and striking for spectators.

Full Details

This trick is an upgraded version of the classic hopping coin effect, using high-quality metal poker chips for a more professional look and feel. The routine consists of three distinct phases:

  • First Phase: The green chip is placed into the wallet but instantly reappears in the hand.
  • Second Phase: The yellow chip is placed into a pocket, only to return with a snap.
  • Final Phase: The yellow chip is placed into the pocket again, but this time, both chips vanish into the wallet.

    • The method relies on clever misdirection and a concealed mechanism, allowing for smooth, deceptive handling. The chips are designed for durability and a realistic weight, ensuring a convincing performance.
