Dalmation is a new and greatly improved version of the Doctor Sacks dice routine. The new gimmicks
elevate the trick from basically a puzzle, to a very mystifying and magical routine. Everything
necessary is included in the box. The kit also contains a second set of dice in case one or more go
missing.
The routine is easy to do, only requiring basic sleight of hand. Not a great deal
of practice is necessary for mastery. If you like dice tricks, this is a must have in my humble
opinion.

This is a great trick. It is not a card trick and it is not a coin trick and it is a minor miracle
for one or two people. I can imagine showing it to a larger crowd, but it really has the feel of
something more intimate.
The only issue with it is that there is not an instant reset.
Note that the reset is very quick, about 30 seconds, if that, BUT, you will definitely need to go
off into a corner, do the reset, then come back. So it is not ideal for restaurant or banquet work
where you have to go quickly from table to table, but you could of course use it a few times a night
when you take a brief break and reset in a corner. You just can't use it at every table. Or if you
are doing magic on the street, you can do it between times when you gather a crowd. Of course you
could easily use this at a formal close up show.
That said, it might be a trick you hold in
reserve for the host of your party just to do something special for them. This is not somethign they
will have ever seen. With the right delivery, the fact the last die ends completely blank is a real
miracle that ends clean with an unusual object and will leave them contemplating what they just saw.
As for the complaints about the pen not working in the video,I have to say, so what, buy
another dry erase pen. You will need to replace it soon enough anyway. Also, the video only promises
one holder, but two sets of dice, so the person who complained about that was in err.

This trick is real magic. Very cleverly designed. If you are new to magic, you should practice hand
gestures. But for master magicians, real quality is a trick. I like it very much, thanks TCC
I rarely leave reviews (i think it is my first on penguin magic).
But I thinnk it is too
much here.
I say it again Penguin magic did great package arrived very quick.
On
the other hand TCC did not... The trick came with no instructions (penguin had to send me the video
link).
Also in the instruction we can see that there is 2 key chain. I received only one
and it could not be attached to the gimmick...
Also in the video instruction the pen from
the package the guy uses doesn't work and he has to use another one... Why sell a product that
wasn't even working while shooting the video instructions ?
I will keep pushing and maybe
change the rating, but so fare the lack of quality of TCC product is a shame...
Stay away, everything provided is low quality. Most of the TCC affects you by come with a link to
the instructions, but this didn’t even have the instructions included. I had to call separately and
wait to receive the link via email. The props do not work as described.
