Quinto Extreme is a close-up magic trick involving poker chips where the magician presents five different poker chips, has a spectator mix them up and choose one freely, and then reveals a prediction that matches the chosen chip perfectly. This trick is part of the Cheetah Chips project, offering a direct and strong mentalism effect suitable for opening routines in close-up or mentalism performances.
In this 5x5 special, Craig Petty highlights five close-up magic performances by his son, Ryland Petty. The tricks include 'Quinto Extreme' from the Cheetah Chips project, a self-working poker chip routine that matches a prediction; 'Level Up', a switch cartridge trick that Ryland loves due to his passion for Nintendo; Nicholas Lawrence's Vanishing Card Case, a visual opener that establishes credibility; 'Poker Chip Poker', another Cheetah Chips routine that simulates a poker game; and 'Big Blind', a card trick without cards that Ryland performs uniquely. Each trick is praised for its directness, visual appeal, and suitability for Ryland's style. The video also mentions the availability of these tricks through magic dealers and promotes Craig's online streaming platform, The Netrix.
