I really love the difference between how the dealer uses items and how the player does. You smash the magnifying glass and check the chamber; the dealer smashes it and looks through it, somehow seeing through the gun. The dealer cuffs you to the table; you hand the cuffs to the dealer for it to cuff itself. You turn on the mysterious device that turns a blank into a live round; the dealer simply smashes it.

It really sells that you’re dealing with some other-worldly entity that isn’t overly concerned about getting shot with a shotgun.
