    This effect was invented by Marvillo and you can see his original one here.

    It sounds like a great effect and I would love to see this performed over the counter such that you would instantly purchase it 🙂

    I think the routine is a little weak. As written you are expected to show clearly only two dice and not the third (gimmicked one) because in the instructions it says:

    “The spectator has seen the first two dice and will not expect anything different of the third gimmicked die.”

    Maybe this would be true if you allowed the spectator to examine all three dice at the beginning.  But if you don’t and instead show the first two dice clearly and partially hide the third one, all the spectator is going to think – what the heck is going on with that die?

    So you need to start with the three normal die, switch out for the gimmicked one, then switch it back again at the end.  None of this is the end of the world, but it does make performing this in a convincing way quite a bit harder.  In addition the locking of the dice with the pins is not very clean and I’d like to see that done smoothly.

    All in all I am not impressed with the routine.  But as the advert says the prop itself is beautifully crafted and that is true and they were made by the close-up master manufacturer himself: Per Clausen 🙂
