"After years of buying products and being disappointed, your Die-Cipher II is an exception." Norman Barlow

"A true gem that you will be proud to own for many years." -Acar Altinsel, Penguin Magic

Magic's favorite pocket trick just got better!

A brass canister, lid & die are examined. As you look away, a spectator puts the die in the canister, remembers the number on top, & covers with the lid. You turn around, concentrate, then write a number on a piece of paper. The lid is lifted, revealing the number on the die...it matches the prediction!

No questions.

No fishing.

This clever device gives you all the information. Thanks to Chuck Leach's improvement in the design, you no longer need to turn the box over to discern the number. In fact, you don't even need to touch it! Don't confuse Die-Cipher II with the various versions of Mental Die. This is much better! Die-Cipher II tells you the exact number selected!

Ok, there are certain effects that if you don't practice the heck out of them, you will give the secret away in your attempt to divine whatever it is (the value of a card, the value of a die placed in a brass container, etc.)

Without giving anything more away, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EFFECTS.

I am certain that the people who are complaining that their audience burns them on this are displaying a "tell" that is easy to spot. You MUST practice this until the method for divination is not visible to the audience. Once you do this, no one will "get it" and it elevates itself to the miraculous.

I've had my Die-Cipher II for close to 20 years . Other than a nice change in color from the brass...it's exactly as it was the day I bought it.

It's a clever and devious secret and I've never had a spectator figure it out. It works exactly as described.

If I have any reason for not giving it 5 stars, it's for one reason. It's like a "box trick" in stage magic: the object itself is so unnatural (a brass die and a specialized brass cylinder) that it's obvious that the "magic" is being done by the object itself....not the magician.

I'm sure there are mentalists who have found a way around this. I've tried various plots and stories (previously owned by a dead gambler, found in my grandfather's attic, etc.)....but, personally, I've never found a good plot that I was satisfied with.

But, other than that, it is a GREAT effect. It's very well-made and a joy to use.

Plus, it's gorgeous....and will look even more gorgeous in 20 years. It's a piece of magic that will last MORE than a lifetime...

Very nice Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 7th, 2011
Sure you can tell someone what number they picked, but you can do so much more! It's a lot of fun to incorporate mind reading tactics with this effect to really get in their heads. My favorite reaction is when you have your audience consequently come to the conclusion that you 'saw' more than just the image of a die.

The only reason I gave four stars and not five is because of a tiny wear and tear inconvenience that, while not usually endangering the secret, sometimes misleads onlookers to believe the selected number was (for example) a five instead of a four...and that can be a little bit of a set back.

I read in an earlier review that you can polish the set to take care of that problem.

Overall, very nice. I like it. If you have the money to spend, I definitely recommend this mental magic tool.

Die-Cipher II Report this review

Awesome trick. Very well made.
So easy to do.
Only had one person figure it out because he happens to be an engineer by trade and works to 1000th of an inch.
Make sure you keep it polished as there can be a tiny tell tale mark after a bit of use.

Great Mentalist Effect! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 7th, 2005
This is a great mentalist effect that can be done anywhere, anytime, with a minimum of explanation. I use it in bars quite a bit much to the delight of spectators. This effect is for the serious-minded magician or mentalist who'd like to incoporate a very fast effect into his (or her) routine. I could even see building at least part of an entire routine AROUND this one effect, it's that good!

Baffles 'em! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 18th, 2007
The secret is pure genius and 99.9% undetectable. Everyone I've done this for is completely stumped!!! Nice heavy duty quality and the heavy "gold" dice has a mystical quality all on it's own. People just like to hold it. Solid brass tricks like this one along with the Okito Box and the Mystic Chips make great keepsakes 'cause they're built to last. Add this to your arsenal now!

too subtle for me Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 7th, 2022
I like the idea of the trick. I like the construction of the trick.

As a magician there are 2 steps to figuring out the number.

Step 1 was easy to master.

I have spend close to 90 min practicing step 2. And when I say practice I me just trying to get the number right, not doing the full patter. So I can do 4 or 5 numbers a minute.

I am still only about 60% accurate, which is little better than a guess. 4/3 works for me but getting the 1/2/5/6 feels like I am just guessing.

Method 1 (in hand) is not something I can get to work at all.

Method 2 (on a flat surface) only work for 1/6 on a hard flat surface. Will not work on a pad or even a table cloth.

Strong pocket magic!!! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2010
This one is sweet, quick to learn, and provides you the opportunity to really mess with the poor sap who is the target of your performance. There is really no reset needed, and you can certainly do it a couple of times before moving on to something else.
I performed it for one friend who was increasingly convinced that I really was reading his mind. Freaked him out a little, actually... Anyway, this is a fun one that fits nicely in your jacket pocket!

The Greatest Trick Ever! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 21st, 2005
The Die Cipher is most definately the best piece of mentalism that's out there. The Die Cipher has absolutely no markings on it, so nobody can get suspicious about it. Also, the case closes all the way. The Die Cipher has fooled all of my family and all the people I see. People really think I can read minds! The Die Cipher is made of solid brass and it comes with a little black bag so you can perform it while it's in the bag to add to the drama. The Die Cipher is well worth the price and it will last a lifetime. Trust me, this isn't one of those tricks that you put in the closet after you get it!
