Effect
From a shuffled pack, a number of playing cards are removed, and placed face down in a row.The spectator is then handed a poker chip, which he or she places onto any one of the playing cards. they may change their minds if they so wish.
The poker chip is now flipped over, to show a white sticker, on which is written the name of a playing card. their choice is flipped to reveal that it matches exactly. all the other cards are shown to be different.

Comments
This effect comes from the fertile brain of Dee Christopher, and he has put together a nice, clean, direct effect that should have the lays puzzling for a long time.
the instructional dvd is clean, clear and consise, and you will have no problems picking up the few rudimentary sleights needed to perform Gambit.
as well as the dvd, you recieve all the gaffs, along with a small supply of white stickers, and the ungaffed poker chip.
Its a good price, for an effect that i am sure many will get good use from.
The only disadvantage, if there is one, is that you need a bit of table space to perform it, so in a hopping enviroment, you might not always be able to use it.
