The Con - Deluxe Ltd Ed Version of The Gamble by Steve Cook

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
