If you want something much better explore “positive negative” by Max Maven on Video Mind. Throw in some extra bits from Multiplicity and you will have a miracle with a business card! Multiplicity also has “a small fortune” a version of mental choice, which is also better. The effect Killer Elite is a version of mental choice but I never liked the premise (or some of the outs) and so I made my own Bat Man version. Custom card guards (poker chips) are available on the web.
I love how the ad copy reads something like, “many of the working pros used a previous version..” Hogwash! My point is, with a decent video and book library, you would not need to spend $50 on some colored dice! |

As a gift to to all of you, here is my effect "MaxAbolical" (I hope it doesn't sound that bad )
You need 5 colored dice; 1 is loaded. 1. Show dice, ask spec to pick one. If he takes loaded, ask him to check the points to see all different. Ask to take another one and check. Ask to take another and throw several times, showing that each throw is different (i.e., they are not loaded). 2. If he takes another one (i.e. not loaded) ask him to check dice and throw several times. 3. Do the equivoque procedure from Max Maven's booklet to force the loaded die out of 5. Move three forward, pick two, etc. 4. Ask him to hold die in hands as in casino, blow in hands for good luck and throw die on table. This is a small build up to make clear that the throw is going to be THE throw - there are no second chances with a loaded die 5. Recapitulate that he made several choices to choose color and he used "luck" to throw a number 6. Show prediction, where you predicted both the color and number of the die PREDICTION REVEAL 1. You can use a "giant" dice, displaying the forcing number on top 2. You can use Steve Cook's reveal of several dice of same color (not his original idea though) 3. You can have another loaded die, have other spec shake cup covering with hand (without looking) and turn over cup, then rise cup at the end to show number on top (and color) 4. You can have many mini-dice all showing the same 5. You can use the Tenyo item, where you place several dice in a small box, cover it, shake it, and when you open all face the same number 6. Draw in a paper the face of die and color it with markers 7. On a deck of cards, count from the face of deck to number of loaded die, show the card has a color back that matches color of loaded die and all others are different color Have a nice weekend Maxi

I love DieAbolical V.5. It is a miracle when shown to a lay person. 5 stars.

Die-abolical I feel is over priced for what you get!
Although the props supplied are nice! I have searched around and not found dice as nice as the ones supplied. OK 19mm precision cut casino dice would be good I supose, although I prefer the ones supplied. I have had a lot of use of this effect and always had very good reaction. |

The previous version of Die-abolical came with a plastic hinged ring type box and six dice, two of each colour red, blue and green.

For this kind of dice prediction effect, I still like Elduco Necklace Prediction. Much more simple and direct !!!

Old Thread,i know but I just love this sort of routine and the outs have never bothered me and always had great reactions when I have the not so much favored outcome, written on the underside of a fag box and only using 4 bottle tops.
I have found 2 sets of 6 different coloured Dice ,a little Cuff link box and a little bag and some colured Stickers,now I have messed about and I have come up with a different approach about going about it.The now weakest outcome has now become a MORE believable, that I did indeed predict the outcome of their coloured Dice.Yet to try this approach out,but I know it will work same as my FREE WILL with a pen and piece of paper and the 3 objects picked by THEM,simple age old principles,imagination sometimes just beats ALL hands down electronic gimmicks,so glad I came across this the other day,please don't dismiss this,as it can be very powerful in the right hands,just my thoughts on it. Good Magic to all |
