The Homing Chip

By Jerry Mentzer

Entertaining, easily carried, can be performed at a moment's notice. An adaptation of the famous "Homing Card" plot, the effect is easy to do and requires only simple handling. No difficult sleight-of-hand is required.

Basic Effect: Four white and one red plastic chips like those pictured are shown. The performer explains that he cannot perform the trick with the red chip. The red chip is removed and openly placed in the performer's pocket. When the remaining chips are counted, the red chip has returned. The red chip is removed again and again and placed in the pocket. Yet each time it returns to the performer's hand! Even when only a single chip remains in the hand, it turns out to be the red chip!

The colors used on the durable plastic chips are part of the chip itself, with no paint to wear off or chip. Detailed instructions tell you how to perform the trick. The props make it easy and fun!
