I'll PM you and I was thinking of Diceman and am waiting for Mike to get one in for me.

Recieved this today and must say I am not disappointed. A great dvd that comes with this shows how the simplest premise can become magical. And Sol shows how even the easiest of moves can be so effortless as to become invisible.
Excellent! thanks Dat for bringing this to my attention through TM.

Couldn't agree more. I've had my set for almost a week now and I practice with it every day. Its almost ready to slip into the close up routine at the restaurant this Sunday (with a few little variations of my own)
I now see what dat means about using similar moves with different props.

However a word of warning, and I know this can apply to almost every trick one buys, but to make this look good, and it can be a jaw dropper) practice is definitely required. When I first showed my good lady after about 30 mins practice, she saw through it straight away, but now after a week even she has to admit it is an excellent effect.

What I like about this is at the end of the routine you can give the die out to be examined.

By the way, I don't have Diceman, if you guys can recommend this as an sequel or prequel to this effect Please let me know, here or pm.

This effect will definitely work directly after Diceman although I am actually wondering whether this dice routine may give the spectator the false impression that the dice for diceman was rigged. Saying that though the dice can be thoroughly examined before diceman and after before going striaght into the radical die routine. Doing this though means it would be far more dodgy having (got be careful about not exposing here so bear with me) not to hide what Sol in the dvd says there is no point trying to hide....hope that makes sense to owners of this.

This is something I am going to try out once I have this radical dice down smooth.

Glad that you like it guys - I've used it for the first time with a dice chop cup from Magic Box and it worked sweet.

I just came up with the idea of finishing off with Daryl's Dicey Dots . Its ideal as all the spots on the die now disappear. Tried it last Sunday at the restaurant and got some excellent responses.
I like the idea of the dice chop cup as well though!

I looked at the Dice Chop cup at Magic Box, but it seems to me that the Die is a different shape(more rounded) to the Sol Stone Dice ?
The Dice with Dicey Dots are identical in Shape, colour and size.

Thanks for that!

I've got Dicey dots and hadn't thought of this.

The dice in the chop cup are different. They are larger but I've found that the larger dice actually help the move in my opinion.

Anyway, I've found a supplier that will make some radical dice for me that are the same size as the chop cup ones although they can't do magnetic dice.

I'm waiting for a quote but should have 50 pairs soon if the price is right. If anyone is interested, I will ONLY sell as a spare set to people that can prove they have bought the DVD.

Would they also do the appropriate die for the end of Dicey Dots?

yes but again, there would have to be an order of 50 units

Please pm me when you get a price.

Perhaps an extra one of these dice could be converted into the die from Dicey dots, with a bit of chemistry or maybe brute force?

I'm negotiating with the company as they are after £6 per die for the custom face one

All hinges on the price that they will come down to but I'll let you know.

Hello, I hope you are well.

Do you happen to have some of those Radical Dice dice left? I've been performing this for aeons and the spots are looking scruff. It's possible to repaint them but I'd rather buy a few pairs of dice...

I have this and love it. Though I was wandering if anyone recommends any other effects using a die or dice?
