"I’m Joe Marshall with Expert Village.com and today we are going to look through the eyes of somebody else and talk about remote viewing. This is the explanation for the poker chip under the cup. What you are going to want to do the only set up you need before you start the game is you are going to want to get a piece of really fine visible thread maybe and a piece of tape. You are actually just going to tape it to your side of the table and just leave it there until you are ready to do this trick. You got your chips you are playing with. You are just nonchalantly only going to tape the thread to the back of one of your chips and just set it back down. We are using a really large thread so that you can actually see but you are not going to want to use something not blatantly obvious. You are going to want something really hard to see and you are going to want it shorter. We purpose lengthen it for the explanation and you don’t have to draw attention to it or anything. You are just going to cover up the chip with the cups. You are going to explain it and turn around. They will mix it up and as they mix them around, even if they change cups on you, you are still going to be able to know because the string is going to be sticking out of the cup. Again, this is really obvious. You are going to want to use something like invisible thread. You can still see it if you know what to look for. They are not going to see it because they don’t know what to look for. They are not expecting any visible thread of any kind. So they are just expecting something with the cups and that is good because the cups are just normal. There is nothing with the cups. So you turn around and you grab their arm and you act as if you are going to get inside of their head and replay the past and as you watch, the cups in your mind so just go for it and pick it up. "
