How To Do Magic Tricks For Fun: Devilish Dice Prediction

This clever number prediction with dice has a tremendous effect on any audience. There just doesn’t seem to be any rational explanation for how he can do this without being able to read minds. It’s a real speaker!

How it looks to the audience

The Magician turns his back and tells a spectator to roll three dice on the table. He is then told to form the three dice in a stack, one on top of the other.

He is then instructed to add the numbers on the two touching faces of the top and middle dice.

To this number, you are asked to add the sum of the two touching faces on the bottom and middle dice.

Finally, you are asked to add the number at the bottom of the bottom die to your previous total.

You are asked to remember that number, or write it down, and cover the stack of dice with a glass or a piece of paper.

The Wizard then turns around and takes some matches out of his pocket.

When the spectator counts the matches, they are surprised to find that they add up to the same number as the total they are thinking of.

How the trick is done

You prepare for the trick with twenty-one matches in your pocket.

After the spectator has confirmed that they have added all the faces, he casually looks back over his shoulder and tells them to cover the pile with a glass or piece of paper.

As you do this, you take a look at the number on the top die and remember it. For example, let’s say it’s a five.

With his hand inside his pocket, he picks up all the matches but lets five of them fall, one by one, back into his pocket.

He then takes his hand out of his pocket and asks the spectator to count the matches.

You’ll be surprised to find that they add up to the number you’re thinking of!

So, just to reiterate, whatever number you see on the top die, that’s the number of matches you need to return to your pocket.

It will be easy for you to count the matches as you drop them one by one.
