Thanks Jason I appreciate the feedback from you.  Perhaps a Speed 2
would make sense, although I do not see it as that powerful of a Hex, as
the Huckster must get at least get 2 pair to get back the action he is
spending on the Hex, needs 3 of a kind to get an extra action.

Also not only is there the chance of the Backlash, but I was proposing
that cards are drawn from the action deck for each of the additional
actions he gets, and if a black joker comes up, he loses all actions and
suffers lag, or being stunned!
