I got a very nice Jumping Gems stick, but, as we all know, the gem selection is awkward & rather
unbelievable. A friend suggested forcing the needed selection with a forcing die, and TF Dice
seeemed right.
What you get:
—one translucent blue die without spots;
—sheet of
sticky spots to place on the blank die;
—the gimmick that makes the force work.
What
you have to supply:
—a parallel-sided transparent glass;
—a black mat
Problems:
—When you are told that this forcing die setup will work with any die, you realize that this a a
$5 trick masquerading as a $25 trick;
—The gimmick is fragile & becomes more fragile after
preparation; but you do receive plenty of gimmicks, so there’s that;
—Since a parallel-sided
clear glass is needed to shake the die, and a black mat is needed to help conceal the gimmick, the
trick arrives incomplete;
—The video instructions do not show the trick being performed in the
wild. I’m unsure if this force die setup has ever been used in a live performance;
—The gimmick
requires tape on the glass, so you don’t end clean.
Conclusion:
Will this rather
fragile & laborious die force work? Yes. But so will a cross cut force, and the cards won’t break,
and they’ll leave you clean.
Not recommended.
