You show a deck of cards, and then set a prediction face down on the table, before the trick starts.  Next you bring out four different dice, each with a different number of sides (D4, D6, D8 and D10).  The spectator rolls the whole lot of dice, generating four random numbers, and then they choose one of them to place on top of the prediction card.

The same procedure is repeated three more times - each time the spectator rolling the dice, generating random numbers, and then consciously choosing one to place onto a face down prediction card, placed down before the dice were rolled.

The cards are carefully removed from underneath the cards, and flipped over...

ASTONISHINGLY, EACH CARD HAS THE SAME VALUE AS THE DICE THE SPECTATOR CHOSE TO PLACE ONTO IT!

Easy to do, includes the dice, bag and special 'something'.  Just provide your own deck of bicycles.  You also receive video instructions with Liam's teaching, variations and bonus handlings!

235: FISM Italy - Day Four

It may have been a little overcast outside, but the weather and the magic was perfect in the convention center. After viewing the stage competition from 8:30 to 12:30, I got to walk around the dealers a bit more, chat with friends, and attend a couple lectures. And of course, it was Thursday which meant magic and Martinis in the evening with friends at the bar.

After watching Luke Jermay's one man show, was the evening gala featuring:  Cyril Takayama and Eun Gyeol Lee as co-MC's with Mike Chao, Topas, David Kaplan, Tony Frebourg, Alberto Giorgi, Rob Zabrecky, Sos & Victoria and Samuel.
