Wild Dice by Mark Leveridge (5648)

This is one of those nice routines which is based on two classic effects (walnut shell and pea trick and the cups and balls) but which uses very different props. In fact, those who know the secret of the walnut shell swindle, for instance, would be very puzzled to see a similar effect done with solid dice, as the original method would be totally impossible.

The basic principles being used here can in fact be combined to make all sorts of different routines. Although I finally settled on the sequence described here, I have in fact tried several different ideas based along the same lines, and with a little thought you can play around with it too and no doubt come up with your own permutations.

What starts as a typical 3 shell game with a dice and 3 matchboxes, turns into a mindboggling magic routine, that culminates in three complete final loads (3 sets of white, red and green dice). However, there is no need of secret loads, as every shell is secretly gimmicked to keep (and release) one of the three dice at any given time.
