If you have ever purchased a rattle device then you know how expensive they are. By comparison this
is extremely affordable. If you have ever added an audible aspect to your magic, you know how
powerful it can be. This shortens the time between the “move” and the “magic.” People will believe
that the die is in your hand until the moment it vanishes.
This is the type of thing that
is going to sell out and years from now it will sell on eBay for ten times the price.
The
dice are of great quality and work just as advertised. If you want to silence your die, I can’t
think of why you would, but if you do, buy a tiny magnet from amazon. The ones they use with metal
collar stays. The magnet provided won’t last and you do not need it.
The instructions are
fantastic. They are mostly coin effects with dice. Dice/coins come back, dice/coins through the
table and a dice through cup that is a combination of coins through glass and a cup and ball
routine. There is a cheating with dice demonstration that will require some practice.
Using only the simplest of slights within the reach of an absolute beginner and believable
offbeat switches and ditches Wilson provides you with well choreographed routines with no
unjustified moves. I got a little tired of him saying “come on!” As an applause cue, but that is a
minor complaint. If anything, I think he should have remained silent for a few seconds and let the
effect sink in. If $ was not so tight right now I would have purchased a back up set. If you are
worried about people figuring it out you are wrong. Presentation is the key. The dice will be
switched out and placed on the palm of their hand and they will never know. You will only do one
routine but it will be remembered. It is a worker and and an EDC. Purchase 2 before they are all
gone!
Take a look at LS Dice by Leo Smetsers on Penguin. I'm sure you could incorporate it with Rattle Dice. Add a Magician's Assistant, a one finger flesh-colored magnetic device for pick up / drop off. I have those two. Maybe I'll buy Rattle Dice.
Gregory Wilson could do wonders with these items.
