"I was completely fooled." -Derren Brown
"It's a killer. You know those tricks you have in the back of a drawer? This is the opposite." -David Regal
Andy Nyman has done it again! DiceMan is Andy's newest addition to his small number of terrific trick releases for the magic community and is launched just in time for his third lecture at The Magic Castle.
The performer explains that - just like the protagonist of Luke Rhinehart's disturbing cult novel, The Dice Man - they have given up making decisions and that all their decisions are now made by the roll of a dice. A stack of laminated cards, each numbered from one to six, are displayed. The performer explains that on the other side of each card is an instruction which they must follow today if that number is rolled. The spectator rolls the ungimmicked dice to select a number. The six cards are laid out and the spectator turns over the card bearing the rolled number to reveal the instruction BE NICE. 'It'll be tough, but I'll try,' says the performer. Of course, everyone is wondering what's written on the backs of the other cards...when they're turned over each and every other card says "KILL!" across the back! 'I'm so relieved, I couldn't go through last night again!'
Like Andy's 1997 release 'Killer Elite' this has a wonderfully appealing plot and is a real baffler for a lay audience. DiceMan is a real fooler for fellow magicians too. There are no multiple outs. The above description is what occurs every single time the trick is performed whatever number is rolled.
We like to think that we're pretty knowledgeable about magic methods but we were completely fooled. This trick is wonderfully deceptive and yet devilishly simple to perform. We might even say it's 'sleight-free', but hopefully we've convinced you to buy it before we got to that.
The trick comes with the six laminated colour printed cards, a dice, a very smart printed aluminium business card holder for the cards and the 'special something'. The 4 page instruction booklet with illustrations from Danny Buckler.
