The “old” methods will definitely remain more secret. And probably also harder to reconstruct, esp. for people who know what can be done with technology nowadays. Which is great for those of us that have spent the time honing those skills. Long live the c***** t***!

Anyone found a suitable case to carry the Dice and Receiver in yet for walk around situations? Don’t really like the idea of keeping them in my pocket

You might put them into a small pouch with several other dice, and then choose them because they are different colors. You could even reach into the bag and palm the gimmick while "choosing" which dice to use for your effect. After you have the gimmick palmed, empty the pouch, letting the other dice fall onto the table. Just a suggestion. |

 Deignan, please check someone’s profile before lecturing him about how to present dice as “ordinary”. Chris is not a newbie...

I am loving Mental Dice. It works flawlessly and the ability to turn both the dice and receiver on and off at will makes this ideal for impromptu and walkaround. For the price (in fact, for ANY price) it is incredible.
The range is amazing - much better than Marc Antoine's dice, which I found unreliable unless very close to the receiver. I also much prefer the more practical and deceptive smaller size. They also work perfectly for a couple of sleight of hand dice routines I perform. Several people have requested a thumper option. This would be very useful when using a single die, but impractical, I think, for two or three. What I would really like, however, is voice notification for use with an invisible earpiece- e.g., "Red Three, White Six, Blue Five". Ideally, this would be a phone app (needing no Internet connection) that runs in the background (allowing another foreground app such as Inject) and which also works when the phone is locked. Hugo Shelley's Insight has exactly this capability. I don't know if the Anverdi dice use Bluetooth technology but, if they do, such an app should be straightforward to develop. As Ustaad has said, this would also allow connectivity to a smartwatch. If the Anverdi dice don't use Bluetooth, it should be technically possible to develop a separate bluetooth adapter that provides the necessary interface between the receiver and the phone. Finally, another (repeated) request - please move this whole topic downstairs! Mike |

I like the immediate response. You can see the numbers changing as the die rolls. I know the number waaay before my guest registers it in mind and utters a word. These dice have incredible creative potential.

Is there anyone who owns these Mental Dice and a large Quiver wallet?
If so, would it comfortably hold 6 of these dice? I thought I might carry the dice in the Quiver and then it would also afford me an easy switch if I felt so inclined. I only own the smaller Quiver and that one is too small. So it would have to be the larger one. |

One of my early brainstorming ideas was to find a way to combine the dice with the Quiver utility. Had not (yet) thought about transporting and introducing the dice from the Quiver. Thanks for the idea.
BTW: I have the small Quiver, and the dice look quite good rolling out of the the pouch and don't appear "special". In this manner, I have introduced both items and will continue imagining the magical possibilities.

I have both size Quivers but I think if I left the dice in either of them,
it would eventually leave a stretched out dent in the leather. |

I was fortunate to have been able to spend time with him at Trade Shows. Interesting he used a lot of electronics and while many knew about it were not only fascinated by it but were fooled and entertained as well. Strangely he was in incredible demand by the biggest companies in the World year after year which speaks well for itself. But he also has the sleight of hand to go along with it. A 50+ year career ain't bad either. So why the story. As magicians we certainly need to try to improve or make a trick our own, but when something works and works well and magicians are having success I think we can do better than be negative. BTW, the gentleman I speak of is the late Del Ray. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ♠️♥️♦️♣️🎲🎲 Steve
