But wasn’t the magnet in an attractive wooden box in order to turn on/off originally Craig Filicetti's idea?
Of course, if you research hard enough I’m sure someone had the idea 60 years ago. In fact, there are no doubt drawings by cavemen on the walls of a cave somewhere showing this box idea. |

I believe that was BEFORE Marc started selling his Mental Dice through Murphy's. My friend's set has the separate magnetic pad. Mark

Hi Mike, I have the same set as you with the magnet in box feature. I believe you are correct on your reasons for the change. I have the newer version as well with the plate. Not terrible but am still using my original set which still show full power.

Not really surprising that Marc discontinued that box, especially when the beauty of it plays no part in the effect. In fact, IMO removing the dice from such a beautiful box makes them appear less ordinary and more “special”.
I’d be curious to know the cost of producing a box like that in relatively small numbers. I would think it must have cut into his profit margin significantly. I actually prefer his newer 3D printed boxes from a practical standpoint. |

A 3 dice set with the display, thumper, and charger will cost well over 2K USD, and that is assuming you already own the Apple phone and watch. And it’s hard to believe Murphy’s would leave money on the table by not releasing a thumper sometime soon. |

Hi all there,
I just received my 'Mental Dice' (Anverdi) and measured the (very nice) dice. They measure 0.66inch or 16,764mm. These measures seem to be very off standard in the normal dice world.... I googled for hours and couldn't find anything even close. (closest is 16mm) Has somebody of you find normal dice with these measures??? I would like to buy a bunch as 'souvenir- giveaways'. Thank you for your help.

That’s why they made them an odd size .
This way you can only buy perfect giveaways from them if they choose to sell them imo Gaz 🙂 |

Exactamundo. Capitalism is a magical thing.
Please check regularly if you are becoming the type of magician Jerry Seinfeld jokes about. (This applies to mentalists as well.)

Must I understand from your answers that I'll have to wait till Murphy's magic is willing/chooses to bring out the normal dice
with odd measurements and indeed pay the price they will stick on them.....? Clever! I would not bother... if the price is correct. (< 1 USD ea. ) I bought some 16mm dice (with exact the same colors) and for me the difference in size is too noticeable ... but maybe the spectator will not notice?! I'll have to try it out live.
