I need help here.
The use of color paint chips instead of cards is featured in my just released "Mental Mashup" eBook. I immediately get questions as to other effects using these in place of ESP Cards, playing cards, etc. I could get excited about a collection of such effects, but don't wish to step on anyone's toes (commercial or creative) If anyone knows of publications of Mentalism Effects using such chips or colored cards instead of symbols or words, please let me know. They can certainly be used in conjuring type effects instead of playing cards, but that would be a separate project. The key is using colors for telepathy, influence, clairvoyance, etc. as a premise rather than just the fact they are cheap and common. Most also have intriguing names like "Midnight Madness" and "Peach Blush" that open up other presentation possibilities.

Christopher Taylor has a routine where his deck of colored cards are described as color paint chips. It uses his special deck rather than real paint chips. I have it on one of his lectures. Think it is called The Recipe.
From the mind of Mik.

Great! I will reference your produce in anything I publish for those desiring that kind of effect, especially as validation of color over words/symbols
For most of the effects I have in mind there is an advantage to the 'no-prop' feel of using actual paint chip cards and only a couple are needed. In 'Mental Mashup' the "Triple influence" Effect uses several sets of five similar but unique sets, so this Iris Deck won't work. But, for any effects needing a large number, few will want to assemble 50 different colors as you have. In any conjuring type eBook where card sleights might be used your deck could have advantages. For my Mentalism plans, less so.
