LAS VEGAS, Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of his recent participation as a contestant on NBC's reality series "Phenomenon," mentalist Gerry McCambridge (http://www.mentalist.com/) ends his Las Vegas show each night by successfully predicting the lottery numbers.

"For years, after every performance I am always asked by audience members if I can predict the winning lottery numbers," McCambridge says. "It is something I always wanted to attempt. It took about two years to figure out how I could make it happen successfully night after night at the finale of my Las Vegas show."

"The audience is looking at my predicted numbers during the entire performance," Gerry explains. "The lottery routine ending involves the entire audience. They all take part in the show's grand finale as the showroom goes crazy with excitement. When they see the prediction unfolding right before their eyes, their faces drop with amazement. Many of them write down my predicted numbers and play them back in their home state after leaving Sin City," he chuckles.

"Besides being proud of the lottery routine's success," McCambridge boasts, "my 17-year-old son Scott is now appearing on stage in the show with me every night. He expressed an interest in show business about a year ago. I put him to work backstage when I headlined nightly at the Legendary Stardust. When the Stardust closed for implosion, I was offered a contract at Hooters Casino Hotel and I felt Scott was ready for some stage time. After the show every night he signs autographs and poses for photos with all his glassy-eyed teenage female fans."

"After appearing on NBC's 'Phenomenon' the ticket demand for my performance at Hooters, as well as private appearances nationwide, is now bigger than ever," McCambridge explains.
