Chinese Sting by Eddie Gibson
(c. 1996) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)This is a wonderful item from Eddie Gibson that is easy to do and easy to understand for the audience. It is basically the same method as Sam Dalal’s Super Psychic Chips with a different routine.
(Notice: use your own bills!)
Effect: You ask your audience how they would like a gamble which they cannot possibly lose. You show six Chinese brass discs, each with a colored disc set in the recess on the reverse side. There are three pairs of colors, say two red, two green and two yellow. One of each of the pairs of discs is turned over (dragon side up). These three discs are shuffled around by your audience, so that no one could possibly know which of the discs is a match for the face-up colours.
You now explain the gamble: and as you do so you place three bills behind the face-up colors.
The audience win if they now choose a disc which DOES NOT match up with the face-up colors, in other words they win on a MISMATCH. You ask them to make their first choice. As each choice is made you place the selected disc (color side down) on top of the face-up colors, as your audience directs. They have a perfectly free choice as to which disc is placed on to which color.
After explaining that the odds of winning are greatly in favor of the audience, YOU TURN OVER THE THREE TOP DISCS AND IT IS SEEN THAT ALL COLORS MATCH, and needless to say the audience DO NOT win.

You can’t go wrong with Eddie Gibson!
Eddie Gibson makes some very fine coins and this item is no exception. It is a very simple idea that works very well indeed and the coins are beautifully made.
Basiclly the effect is you show 3 pairs of chinese coins with red, black, and yellow chips on one side. You show both sides of the coins then turn over 3 for the spectator and mix them up. You leave your 3 face up as a prediction. The spectator then chooses each coin (no force) and you place it on top of their chosen prediction chip. This is repeated for each coin. When they are turned over it is seen that they colors match perfectly.
This effect is available in sets of 6, 8, and 10 coins and is very easy to do.
