The Executive Clip is the ONLY way to switch a bill, playing card, or other small object. No other gimmick is more flexible, clean, and reliable than the Executive Clip.
Professionals need a gimmick that looks innocent and is guaranteed to work. Chris Funk has performed countless variations of the “bill to impossible location” effect. Over the years, he has perfected his method and performance for maximum impact. The Executive Clip is the direct result of this long quest. It is the most reliable and deceptive method; after thousands of performances, here is finally the perfect method.
The Executive Clip

“It is very rare that I see a magic prop and immediately know that it has a place in my arsenal without question. The only thing I don’t like about the executive clip is that it makes the rest of my mentalism look bad by comparison.” -Spidey
“I am upset that I didn’t think of it. This really is clever, and a step forward in my humble opinion. The fact that the item (billet, bill, etc) can be shown freely before clipping it in the clip is truly something special. I am a big fan of the executive clip; you will be too.” -Sean Fields
“It never fails to get a tremendous response.” -Bill Abbott
“This was my best purchase at MAGIC Live this year and I have already thrown out all of my old Ostin Clips. Add this device to your arsenal. You won’t regret it.” -Master Payne, MUM Magazine review
“I’ve used it in over 1,000 shows and it has NEVER failed.” -Chris Funk
History of the Executive Clip
The history of magic is very important, which is why we feel the need to add a few more key names who contributed to this effect.
Chris has created a great idea that differs from other popular switching devices, but it is important to mention the others who created and popularized the original idea.
The idea of using a bulldog clip to switch a billet or bill is not new. This gimmick was invented by Bob Ostin in 1953 and marketed by Davenports as “Bob Ostin’s Dice Prediction,”
The original idea of hanging the clip in a large jar was created by Bob Fillman and popularized by Ed Fowler with his 200 to 1 routine.
Others who have worked on the original Ostin clip idea include John Riggs, David Harkey, Steve Dusheck, and many more.
