Saturn Magic - The Big Blind (Gimmicks and Online Instruction) by Craig Petty

Saturn Magic presents a review and demonstration of Craig Petty's "The Big Blind," a unique card revelation trick utilizing gimmicked poker chips. The effect involves a spectator freely selecting a card, and then revealing that card printed on the reverse of three poker chips they seemingly held from the beginning. The video showcases the deceptive nature of the trick, highlighting how the chips appear to be genuinely in the spectator's possession throughout. While the method itself isn't revealed, the creator emphasizes the gimmick involves specially printed chips and the importance of misdirection and presentation. He suggests various handling options, including a 'self-working' version, and praises the trick's reliability and versatility, calling it a 'perfect opener' and an 'everyday carry' trick.
