I'm the creator of CubeSum and I did not appreciate the judgment of Chris who does not own the object in question and he has expressed opinions that damage my reputation.
Really shameful! |

This is a fantastic piece to intro mathematical speed skills. I do it as described above. I don't have spectators roll, just configure so that I can associate numbers with colors quickly at a glance. I only do the actual addition part twice in my routine. There is a build up to the 6 dice. I actually use it before I do cube roots quickly. It's an excellent set up piece, it's easy to do with professionally made dice, and I use it, which is more than I can say about a lot of other more expensive effects I've bought.

In this way you will give a personal touch to the effect". Also, as always specified in the instructions: "Although these dice were conceived to be used close up with a table, with a few adjustments, they could also be used in parlor or stage situations: Invite six spectators to come up to help you, and show them the six dice (perhaps placed in a transparent bowl) and six markers (or small discs or balls) each with a different color (the colors must be the same ones of the faces of the dice). Also show your prediction, and keep it in full sight. While you have your back turned, ask the spectators to each choose a die and a marker. Then tell them to name the number that is on the face of the die with the color of the marker they chose (a seventh spectator could write down each number named on a large block notice or drawing board). The six numbers are added up and the total will match your prediction. The effect can be repeated... In this second phase, you could count to three, and at your three, the six spectators could announce all together the number (on the face matching the color of their marker) of their die. The audience will hear the voices of the six spectators confused and overlapping and will hardly be able to distinguish any of the numbers named! However, after a moments concentration, needed, you say “to mentally isolate each voice”, you will be able to announce the total (or write it on a large sheet of paper or drawing board). Finally, ask the spectators to add up the six numbers, and show that the two totals are once again matching. You will be sure to receive applause!" |

This is one of the possible presentation of CubeSum realized with some prototypes of the dice. In this case I have to perform the effect and I am not the person in the official video:

I am considering purchasing but I don't understand why the dice have to all be turned over to have a color of each. To me eliminated the roll would make more sense. Just speaking opinion but that is the first thing I noticed.

I received this last week... I love it. You can easily do the presentation I mentioned earlier where you have them arrange the dice as they like without a throw.

I always loved mental logs as a kid. I will buy this for the fun of telling the story. Anyone thought of comparing speed of calc/smartphone/magician as in mental logs?
I love this |

I do mostly Rubik's cube tricks so this caught my eye as something I can add to my repertoire that kind of sticks with the theme but Im struggling with the patter to go from one to the other seamlessly. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

How many different totals can you get using this set of dice?

Funny today I was perusing the international magic website and saw this trick. I searched the Café and sure enough I saw I posted here in 2014.
Well it does still look good and they are in stock. I will be getting one. https://www.internationalmagic.com/product-cube-sum.html |

Just because a mental book test demo doesn't outline the method does this mean the demo is misleading? This is magic man it's all misleading! Haha Seriously, what you see in the demo is what you will be able to do. If you want to do this then get the trick. Of course there is always something "left out" it's magic. Or is it? Thank you for allowing me to intervene, |

I just received this and like it a lot. The dice are quality and I would be happy to carry them and perform this effect.
It's a very straight up demo. |
