The performer displays three different coloured metal washers or “tokens”, which are identical in all respects except for the colours. The tokens are mixed and handed over to the performer behind his back. The performer can immediately hand back the three tokens identifying their colours.

An alternate presentation may involve the tokens being handed to you singly one at a time and you immediately identify their respective colours.The tokens may be examined and there seems to be no clue as to how they can be identified without seeing the colours. All the props are made from non-rusting Aluminium, for long life.
