Destined to become a classic.

The roulette theme is hugely popular and RISK is one of the best available. Every aspect makes sense, everything is logical and above all else the method is so simple, yet has fooled some of the top names.

What makes RISK so good is that everything is within your control, no magnets, electronics, equivoque or forcing of any kind, no envelopes, no cards, nothing. The staple guns are real, the staples are real, the reactions are real, but the RISK is not.

RISK is so direct in method that all you need to do is work on your presentation. Francesco even gives you his scripted routine that fooled Marc Spelmann so much so that it immediately became part of his act.

Even if you are a close up performer, RISK is that type of effect that packs small but plays BIG and is the ideal effect to show that special booker or client at the end of an event. Francesco has performed RISK on television and in theatres for thousands of astonished people around the world for the last 5 years.

"You simply cannot go wrong with RISK, it is beautiful in its directness, method and impact, I had no idea."
- Peter Nardi- Alakazam Magic / Inner Mind Productions

Running Time Approximately: 1hr 38min

i ve been searching 4ever where to get the staple guns. after 3days and 4 receipt returns i got the right ones. stanley ti 150, 160, or anyone that has a "sliding draw" loader. thats what i call em. if you get the regular push and close rod kind it wont work. $20bucks per. the routine is safe. it took me about 3 days of playing with my stapler to learn to trust them. it is risky if you dont study the dvd.

Great Effect Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 31st, 2015
Effect is so effortless to pull off, it really just comes down to your performance. You can frame it as random, as deduction, as magic... whatever you desire. The only limit is your imagination.

I had to mess with my staple gun choices, but eventually settled on the Arrow JT21 staple gun. It's a bit smaller than I would like, but I found that if you use a female audience member to do it, that many will have a hard time squeezing the heavier staple guns.

Risk, and reward. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 29th, 2016
While looking for something a little different to add to my show, I accidentally stumbled across this trick. I was skeptical at first, but the online praise was far too much, so I bought it. The packaging is nice, and the DVD is very well put together. The Explanations are in depth without being boring, and the method is jaw-dropping. You do have to purchase and "make" the items needed to perform it, but I found that part fun. Once fully armed, you are ready to go at a moments notice, and you will be excited to perform.
Should you get this? That is very hard to answer, and next to impossible to pair with a random personality. On the other hand, if you are already in the market for a roulette style trick/illusion, then this is the only one you should purchase.

I will be performing this one... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 30th, 2015
I have been looking for a good "roullette" routine for a long time. I am not stupid so that means I want a trick like this to be fairly foolproof and safe. I feel this effect fits the bill. Keep in mind you do have to be aware of what your volunteer is doing and such but you are about as safe as you can get without having to force the right one. Anyway get this one if you need a roulette.

Method good, name of trick terrible Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 10th, 2023
I love the method and the potential for presentation. Easy to do, reasonably safe if handled correctly. And should it ever go wrong: it would of course hurt, but should not be a show stopper.

What I hate about the trick is the name/title. This lends to so many presentations hinging around the word "risk", which you cannot use because the word makes it one of the easiest googleable thing.
