Good evening everyone.I was just hoping I could have a question answered. On the DVD Magic you can make at home with Marty Grams and Rudy Hunter, what is the name of the trick where you lay out six cards and a dice is rolled an the rolled number is the odd card?
I have ordered the DVD, its not here yet, and I just wanted to the name of the trick. Thanks, Bj |

Never heard of it, but I'm guessing from a quick Google search that it's called Hot Rod Card.
Performing magic unprofessionally since 2008!

Disclaimer - I haven't seen the description of the effect, but it sounds like it shares a lot with Dai's Die, published by the Elders of Magic. The story is that Vernon thought of the trick and the presentation on his way to lecture in the Dallas area. He gave the elders permission to sell the effect, which was marketed with a clear lucite die and some very specific wording for the prediction. It's a clever effect, and it's one of those "presentation makes it" kind of effects.
Hope that was of some help. Again, I'm going just on the description that you gave of how the effect looks. YMMV |

Greetings BJ;
The trick you are referring to on our DVD is called Hot Rod cards. It is a very simplified version of Dai Vernon's Crystal Cube. Years back I used to make a lot of products for Fran and Jay at Magic Inc. I especially liked the effect Crystal Cube, but did not want to duplicate their item. So I came up with a very simplified version of the effect for the DVD. If you contact Magic Inc. they may still have some of the old ones Dai Vernon's Crystal Cube in stock, it is worth getting as it really will allow you a whole different presentation and handling. Hope that helps All the best Marty |

Crystal Cube was one of the marketed names for what is, indeed, Dai's Die.
Thanks for a bit of the history. |
