Is any one doing this at the moment? if so do they have any different presentation methods?
love the trick but want to change the presentation.

What sort of style do you normally perform?

I go for a mind reading type of style.

I'd certainly consider using something more ordinary and everyday than a poker chip.

If the presentation was gambling related I would strong disagree; if the presentation is going to be how being a so called mind reader or Mentalist is advantageous in a card game it could play well.

If you however want to go down the serious mentalism route, perhaps a different revelation would be in order. You could even use it as part of a one ahead style routine, if I am right in the method.

Fair point. If it is still a gambling related routine, then it's fine... I was thinking though that the idea was about changing the presentation...

Either way, it's a very nice piece of magic!

I have had the thought about after showing the five cards i tell the spectator to turn away while i mix the cards round then ask them to put maybe a ring or a personal item of there's on what they think is the 9 of spades then cleaning up whilst asking them to reveal what they chose.
