Poker Chip Poker is a close-up magic trick that simulates a poker game using poker chips. The magician presents a set of poker chips, and through a series of choices made by the spectator, predicts the outcome of a simulated poker game.

What people are saying about Poker Chip Poker

magic-tv says...

This is a perfect example of that this does not require the mark cards at all the mark chips at all and when I came up with this for cheetah chips when I was playing around with the cheetah chips concept and I came up with the idea of doing a 10 card poker deal with poker chips I was so happy with myself and the reason is I just knew that this was going to kill I just knew it made total sense.
