Dice Stacking is magic. In the same way that the Three Card Monte is magic.

What are you looking for?

All the best,

Ricky Jay collects dice and he has co-written a book about them, Dice: Deception, Fate and Rotten Luck. Nothing to do with magic but still fascinating.

Hi boywonder/mark

i dont know many tricks with dice, but for dice manipulation try casino di, the are perfectly balanced and look excellent as they have to be seethrough. holding it in between your index finger and thumb blowing it, it will spin fast and cause a great effect. (people will think they can do it but its difficult)

probably useless info :oops: sorry if its of no use whatsoever, just i like dice manipulation.

"The Magic of Milt Kort," by Stephen Minch offers good dice switching techniques and several routines. Of course, the book has a great deal more to offer besides just dice work.
