No, not silly at all actually, and no one said anything about proving the dice are normal. You just immediately jumped to that conclusion in your haste to post how silly you think it is.
Fact is, I’ve been asked a handful of times if they could keep the dice, not often, but it happens. Of course I can just tell them no and I have, but I would prefer not to have to. I’ve also had occasions where there are kids in the group who were fascinated with the dice and I would have loved to let the kids keep them as a little souvenir. Not NEED to give them away, but WANT to. That's a big difference you’re overlooking. That’s totally fine with me if you disagree. But before you're so quick to label it silly just think it through a bit more and perhaps you may discover that if you weren’t so close-minded about it you may find that it is actually quite fun to give them away when the RIGHT situation presents itself. At least I enjoy it. But yeah, not at the price Saturn Magic charges.😁 |

WOW Bill, how susceptible you are! Don't be so aggressive, I wasn't even referring to you, but to the "average magician" in general, in response to Mark's post! I didn't even notice it was your idea! (Was it?)
In your case, well, I can easily agree it might improve your act, I have no problem at all to believe that. So we finally have an agreement, you see? Breathe man, breathe... And by the way we all know Ustaad is everything but closed-minded, so please stop trowing him personal insults. R. |

I was saying this company has found a way to 'recharge' the dice. This is a good thing, as a next generation of Mental Dice could possibly have rechargeable features. I then mentioned that if there are games out there that can read rolled dice, then it wouldn't be hard for people to think it's possible with other dice. |

Gotcha... wasn't what the point of the post was at all. My main point was the ability to charge the dice.

Well, maybe it's time to stop being concerned about whether my older set of Antoine Mental Dice has a compatible Easy Box (on/off box) for them... There's a new Mental Dice set in town:

He was performing for a drunk guy who basically threw the die into the water saying something like what number is that now then? I'm sure I read that the drunk man in question felt bad for his actions and gave the performer $10 to buy some new dice. I would add LOL but I don't think it is a LOL moment! |

Marc Antoine has posted in the DodyMagic Facebook Group that, in addition to the new vibrate/thumper receiver, there are other new features (coming in January) for his Mental Dice. PK ring detection of dice and, apparently, notification to smartphone and smartwatch. I'm not 100% clear on the details because he posted his message in French and I'm relying on Facebook's translate feature.

Good point. But in my fantasy scenario it was satisfying:)

Well, apparently Marc Antoine kicked me out of his DodyMagic Owners Facebook Group. I presume because I posted favorable comments in a thread someone started in the group about the Anverdi Mental Dice. Some of his supporters seemed a little unhappy that I wasn't "outraged" about Murphy's releasing a competing product.
Oh well. Mark

I call you (Magic Mark) a legitimate member since you own Marc Antoine's Mental Dice and you have all rights to be a part of the specific Facebook group created specially for the purpose. Marc Antoine must understand that such action can be considered to be nothing other than being mean and unjust by trying to curtail member(s) opinions on another competing product. IMO the newly released competing product is far superior to Marc Antoine Mental Dice in terms of design, size, price, and ease of operation; and most importantly the wireless recharging feature of the Dice. I have, over the years, been requesting and suggesting that Marc Antoine look into the need of a rechargeable dice but no action has been taken till date. And now with the release of the new competing product I can foresee that Marc Antoine’s Mental Dice has no future within our magic community.

It was started by one of his loyal supporters and that person expressed his outrage, saying that Murphy's Magic "copied" Marc Antoine's product. In my comments, I simply pointed out that Murphy's is the actual rights holder for Anverdi's designs. Maybe Marc read my comments in this thread and that made him unhappy too? You out there Marc? Oh well, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. My set of superior featured Anverdi Mental Dice will be here by Saturday. I'm sure I'll eventually sell the Antoine Mental Dice to someone at a firesafe price. Mark

This post and comments has been going on too long. I have Marc's product and I am very happy with it. I also have extra nice looking dice from Marc, so am I going to abandon it for this. Highly doubtful! The way I feel and will always feel. I hear a lot about copywrite infringement on this post, but I really love Marc's dice and the way the look, packaged and the feel. I just love Marc's dice! They are the perfect size, perfect complement to any trick. He did a perfect job! Marc has always treated me great and I personally love the feel of the red, black and white die. I personally think he outdone himself.

Yes, on Anverdi new dice, I have not been around the forum to be smart enough, but would I get the new dice, no, but I am particular to Marc and I like his style and dice. Basically, I just like simply, the color of the dice more and the handle ability of the product. The one Marc produces in my opinion, now this is just my opinion, is a better product because of the color of the dice. I really don't think that this is going to do out Marc's that he produced, I really don't, because,as I say, my opinion here s the boil down to the dice, I personally enjoy mine. I really enjoy the feel, the magic and the color of the dice compared to this new version. That is just me though.

It may say I am a newbie, but I have been around for years. Let me introduce myself, I am Jon and I don't hide from things. I work for a major internet provider in the midwest.

Let me introduce Marc Antione for you. One of the greatest magic creators around!
