Rainbow Die Box (Post-It Notes) by Mel Babcock

Mel’s rainbow version of the Die Box, is based on an old Thayer design as referenced in Dr Albo Book II as a Thayer Rainbow or Multicolor Die Box.  This style of Rainbow Die box was popularized by Richard Himber’s Rainbow Die Box c. 1955 including an entry in Bart Whaley’s Who’s Who in Magic and many ads in Genii, Hugard’s Magic Monthly.

This is surely the best Die Box Mel has ever made. As with his standard Die Box, the weight and feel of the box is perfect. You have to hold it to really appreciate how well it sits and works in your hands. All the actions are incredibly smooth.

Now for the extra features – the doors and ends of the box have inlayed wood panels which truly look beautiful. In addition you are supplied with two brightly colored and superbly painted dice, which during the course of the routine change places and finally change into two dice of totally different color.

I tried to think of a routine that made sense and I based my Speed Demo on the routine created by Larry Wilfong c. 2006.  I changed a few things and I really like the use of the colored post-it notes.  But the basic routine is all Larry Wilfong.  Thanks Larry!

For the money Mel Babcock probably makes the best die boxes anywhere.

Notice: in the last photo you can see how the center piece has had a small sliver removed.  It is not a big deal and does not impact the performance at all, but if you were looking for a pristine model this is not the one.  It still looks great, and functions perfectly. This  would be perfect for performing.

Includes:

• Rainbow Die Box.
• Four brightly colored Post-It notes pads (bonus).
• Hat NOT included

Use your own hat.

Effect: You begin by showing the red and yellow die and they change places audibly, then visually, and finally they disappear, change color and return back to the top hat!
