OK so I have Sol Stones routine and Double Whammy by John kennedy, what other cool effects are there with dice apart from chink a chink type tricks.

Is there a "Hopping Dice" or shell dice?

"Its the Rules" by Bob Sheets and "Ivory Connection" by Steve Dobson are two great effects.

I like the ending of "Ivory Connection."

I like James Lewis' version of the Dr. Sack dice routine and Vernon's Ending to a Dice Routine in The Vernon Book of Magic.

I think Dice Illusion is a great effect.
I've seen it performed by Lu Chien and a guy whose name I don't know, but works as a dealer with Ponta the Smith, at the French Drop Store.

Was'nt Ivory Conncetion introduced/created by Reed McClintock? Anyways, I do a slightly revised and reduced Dr. Sacks routine. It's The Rules is a great routine also as already mentioned. There is stacking, you could do some research on that! Good luck with it all.

I really like "Heathin'," by Max Abrams, from Sperber's Miracles of My Friends. Not regular dice, so you will probably need to have a set made for you, but worth the effort, IMO.

No, it was put out in lecture notes by Steve Dobson years before the VHS/DVD came out.

Reed and Steve collaborated later, and Reed added some important bits to the handling (and a different method for the ending). I just wanted to make sure that Steve gets his credit where it is due.

Alright thanks, guess I learned something! Very cool. I love stuff like this though, where you have something else to work with besides coins and cards. The dice routines are good to learn and the dice themselves are a nice item to carry and use.

I have bought blank ivory dice so will be able to make up my own dice on the Mill at work.

Aldo Colombini has 2 DVDs called CARD AND DICE DECEPTIONS VOL.1/VOL2. I have both of these dvds, and they have some excellent routines with ungaffed dice and ungaffed decks of cards. Check them out. I think you will like them.
