Steve Cook's 'The Gamble' is a brilliant, self working mentalism trick. 

What's THE GAMBLE? - Your spectator places a prediction poker chip in their pocket without looking at it. Then, four completely regular poker chips are shown, each a different colour.  They are examined, dropped into the empty wallet, and the spectator mixes them freely... Despite this, you control their actions, Jedi Mind Control style, and they are ALWAYS drawn to the chip that matches the one in their pocket!

The Con is a new Limited Edition Deluxe version, and it's really something special. Created by Dead Rebel Productions it features a STUNNING presentation box, new larger wallet, four GORGEOUS custom printed poker chips, and a replica bullet (which, like the presentation box, is for dressing, rather than any part of the effect or method).

It's the same self working, powerful, bulletproof (ahem!) mentalism routine... but now with gorgeous, eye catching props. 

NB The Bullet can ONLY be supplied to UK customers. We can't ship that bit overseas. However, for most overseas customers (especially in the US), it should be super easy to nab a replica bullet on ebay!

You also receive Simon's explanation via video, and the original 'The Gamble' video tutorial.

The Con

The Con is A typical of all Dead Rebel effects. Really strong and always theatrical. Very easy to perform, very strong effect and a whole lotta Finn to do.

Magic to set the mood!

Beautiful and spell-binding props to set the mood for a mentalism classic cleverly designed as a 3-phase mental effect! Another Dead Rebel gem!

Good Needs More

This trick is a good concept. As always, Dead Rebel provides nice packaging, and the look is great. The chips are unique, and I have not been able to find chips like this elsewhere. There are a few things that I would like to be changed or added. The wallet is a purchased item and not constructed for this trick. Therefore, the prediction card will not fit well in the small side zipper compartment. Also, the prediction card is in regular card stock - it looks nice but would be better if it were on thick card stock so that it would not get bent. Otherwise, it might need to be placed somewhere else other than the wallet. As far as the chips, it would be nice to have one other duplicate prediction chip so that for a repeat performance, it is not the same chip. Also, it might be nice to have five different chips so that one could incorporate the equivocate principles that are used by Max Maven.

Excellent trick

I play an old West gambler / con artist. I saw The Con and thought it looked great. The poker chips included are fantastic. They look and feel great. The packaging is really nifty, although I'll never use it. UK purchasers get a 'bullet' (a cartridge, really) in the package. I was going to make a round to go into the box, but again, I'll never use it.

I'm going to replace the prediction card with a blank of what I use with the prediction hand written, which will make the trick more personal to me. The wallet is of excellent quality. I wish it was more 'period correct' for the poker chips (and my character), but I'm happy with it.

The two tutorials included are great. It is an easy trick to do, but the nuances presented in the tutorials are important and clear.

I performed the trick 10 times or more this weekend. It was very well received.

I'm glad I bought it.

Excellent Con

A stunning trick from the genius Steve Cook.

I already had the first version, but I bought this one because of the quality and beauty of the props
