So few do this now days. I have nearly forgotten memories of seeing guys do this in the pubs in Chicago back in the late 70s but can't recall a single person doing it throughout the 80's or 90's.. .not even at the Castle.

Everything you need to know is in Scarne on Dice.
You may sometimes find the book for less than 2$.
Eddie Fechter's Dice Hold'out for magicians is interesting too.

You might want to take a look at "Kort" - Milt Kort's collection - there are a couple of routines that use his dice switch handling - 'Cups & Dice' and 'Changing Trains/Quick Change c*** (not the best)'. Both are okay for demonstrating dice switch technique in a show context. Milt's switch is pretty straightforward enough to learn too if that helps.
