roblane Special user Say 'toast' five times, toast toast..... 844 Posts |
I know this has been on the market for many years now and I've come close to purchasing one on several occasions but something put me off. Having now watched Peter and Dave's handling of it on the Alakazam vlog I've not only bought one, I absolutely love it! I didn't like the original idea of showing the die first, the specs may not know how or be able to duplicate your action but they'll know you did something. The Alakazam handling does away with that issue nicely and has actually inspired a bit of creativity in myself to construct a routine based on their premise. Thanks guys!

I love the idea of using a bill!

Thanks for this idea! I've owned the prop for years and have just never felt the basic act was right for me. I really appreciate this creative routine!

I just purchased this and have been playing around with different presentations. I've also watched the Alakazam vlog and like their presentation. I have just one question.. What happens if the die ends on the one and he sticks with the one? Without revealing too much that would be a problem.

Personally not had the problem as yet, because when performing I usually say (when they have thrown the dice a few times) "Pick any number you like but I wouldn't choose the number one as that was Badlands Bob unlucky number and I wouldn't want you to have any bad luck to". |

Even though I had an idea of the method, but not the performance; I still bought this item.
And was not disappointed. The product is first class. This in itself, misdirects from any ideas as to "how it happened". Because when you see it ... "it can't happen". So sneaky ... so easy ... oh my, play on it! Wulfie |
