The Unfair Advantage





Watch closely… are you paying attention?
Part performance, part tutorial, The Unfair Advantage is an intimate and unique theatrical event.
Banned from casinos worldwide, Harry Milas is a master of deception whose unparalleled skill with a deck of cards has made him both a legend and a thorn in the side of the gambling underworld. Recognised as Australia’s foremost sleight-of-hand specialist, Harry now brings his controversial expertise to the stage in The Unfair Advantage, a show that blurs the line between performance and confession.
This is no ordinary act. With only 35 tickets per performance, audiences are granted exclusive access to the secrets of professional card cheating, techniques so refined they’ve earned Harry a lifetime ban from gaming halls across the globe, and, ironically, made him a trusted advisor to casino security teams tasked with catching fraudsters. The experience begins with a legal confidentiality agreement, a binding reminder that what happens in the room stays in the room. Once signed, Harry guides spectators through a shadowy world of misdirection, stacked decks, and psychological manipulation, revealing tricks that have fooled pit bosses, high rollers, and law enforcement.
From basic scams to high-stakes cons, the show escalates into a breathtaking display of artistry and audacity, leaving audiences questioning every card deal they’ve ever seen. Don’t miss this rare chance to step inside the inner circle.
