Bob Sheets has taken the Sachs Dice Routine, and cranked it up a serious notch! Magicians are being fooled by the new and deceptive handling. It's just not the same trick anymore. IT'S THE RULES can be performed anywhere, anytime, and without any set-up. You'll love the killer climax!

Prefer it to Saks routine Report this review

Bob Sheets' dice routine includes the same effects as the famous Dr. Saks routine, but has a different ending. Sheets' routine is easier to memorize, including repositioning the dice between phases.

The two moves are easy, although it takes time to learn to do them smoothly. The fingers have to be pretty much in the same position before and after the move, which is important for the illusion that you've merely turned your hand over.

I also prefer Sheets' way of showing the dice directly in front of your body, rather than the common way of doing Dr. Saks' routine, in which you hold the dice off to the side.

I took off a star because it takes some effort to follow Sheets' instructions. He could have done it slower and made it clear which move he was doing at each stage. It helps to write a summary of the routine.

Great illusion, DVD quality could be better Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 29th, 2018
This is the classic Dr Sack's Dice Routine as modified and presented by Bob Sheets. He teaches a sle(i)ghtly different handling that may be easier (I found it a lot easier to use with larger dice, which is great for visibility with large groups). It has a nice "kicker" ending. Bob is one of a kind, but you can easily adapt this to your own presentation style (which I highly recommend). I was dubious about how this would actually play, but I've received great reactions from it and the routine makes a great interlude between your gambling card tricks. Regular dice (not included in my DVD), impromptu, no set-up. Pretty easy to get it down and learn the routine. Bob is affable and a good teacher but I took one star off because of the DVD quality. The sound is variable and the background music during Bob's explanation is too loud and almost drowns him out. The explanation is good, but the moves with the dice can seem complicated and confusing as he sometimes rushes over them. You will have to watch it several times, pause, rewind, etc. and maybe even take notes with dice in hand. Once you get it and practice a dozen or so times it becomes second nature. Recommended with the above caveats.

Great trick... Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 12th, 2016
This is a great trick, and I added it right away to my repertoire. The production is a little flawed; the music is way too loud (and honestly unnecessary). But it didn't stop me from learning the routine.

It's the Rules Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 30th, 2012
This is one of the most poorly made DVDs I have purchased. The "background" music is extremely LOUD and the instructions, which are cursory at best, are inaudible.

One would think that at the price charged, the product would be of much higher quality.

Good closeup Report this review

Bob sheets has taken the sack's dice routine and made it better. The original was a bit of a problem due to awkward twisting. This method is streamlined. The finale is the best part and is a flurry o jumping dots. Sheets teaches this part first because if you can do it, you can do the rest of the routine. This routine will take some work to memorize the steps, but it is well within the grasp of the average magician.
