DICE VISION

TCC

TCC Presents

(Based on 1 review)
Color Vision, the name does not seem like anything special, but this magic effect has surely been seen by countless audiences.

Inside a small box is a cube with six different colored sides or dots. The magician knows which side is facing up seemingly without looking inside the box.

It was invented by Martin Sunshine (the inventor of the Center Tear) in the 1930s and won two awards from two national magic societies in 1952.

It could be said to be a classic among the classics.

Because of the extremely simple and ingenious principle, it is loved by many mentalists and prop makers, including the famous Japanese magician Mikame.

Now, as a result of a collaborative effort by TCC Presents & Conan Liu Magic Co., this time-tested classic is recreated. We present - Dice Vision!

Effect: An antique-looking dark-colored wooden box and wooden die is shown. The magician turns his back to the audience and asked an audience member to place the die into the box with any number facing upward. The magician then determines the number selected by the audience member by listening to sound or by telepathy, without opening the box.

It can be presented as mind-reading, clairvoyance, extrasensory perception, etc, and is an extremely ingenious, clever, and deceptive peek.

The wooden box and lid are made of black walnut, and the inside and outside are hand-waxed with oil; the die is the color of unstained wood (with rounded corners); the dots are carved into the block and colored black (not stickers or printed).

There have been other makers who have made colored blocks and miniature versions, however, they are mostly made of plastic. There have also been wooden versions larger than a Rubik's Cube. Conan Liu Magic Co. and TCC have brought to you a rarely seen all-wood version in an ideal size for both close-up and stand-up settings.

Overview

In the 1930’s a retired carpenter named John Dahms began creating magic props. One of his most enduring creations was The Color Vision Box. It was so successful that to this day, almost 100 years later, new versions and routines are being developed. Versions of The Color Vision Cube has been made in brass, wood and plastic and has even had electronic intalled. TCC Presents, in their never ending goal to bring high quality and affordable classic magic props to the market, has brought to the magic community Dice Vision, another milestone in the Color Vision Box lineage.

Effect

The performer produces a small wooden box with a lid. Out of the box he tips out a wooden die which has the typical 1 – 6 pip arrangement. He asks a spectator to place the die with any chosen number face up and replace the lid. The spectator does so and as the performer’s back is turned, the spectator places the box in the performer’s waiting hands. The box is shaken and then brought forward as the performer places the closed box on the table, he divines the thought up number. This is done over again without fail.

Method

The method is very simple that if someone does not know how it works it will be inconceivable. Both the die and the box are un-gimmicked. What makes the magic happen is simple move that allows the performer some insight into what number was chosen. Most of the routine is presentation and will require some acting skills on the part of the presenter. Of course, this is the same for every Color Vision Cube ever made.

Product Quality

The TCC’s Dice Vision diverts from the traditional versions as mostly every version ever made used colors as the divined item. TCC’s version uses a large die and numbers are the divined item. The handling and presentation is basically the same. The Dice Vision is made from American Black Walnut and is part of a collection of wooden items designed by Conan Liu and Jona Hu. The wood is finely finished and feels good in the hand. Dice Vision is generous in size and is substantially larger than your typical cube making it not only more visible but more substantial in appearance. Most importantly the finish and appearance of the wood all match in color so when the all-important move is made, there is no discrepancy in appearance. The video tutorial is approximately 6 minutes long and covers basic handling and presentation.
