Double Whammy
Kennedy, John
(Based on 1 review)
"You told me the total - do you think I can tell you the number you saw on the die?" The spectator ponders this question for a moment while you slowly place your hand on top of the inverted cup. Suddenly you lift your hand and one of the dice is seen resting on top of the cup with the chosen number on top. Lift the cup and reveal the remaining two dice, then smile at the stunned faces of your audience.
Double Whammy comes complete with the dice and special gimmick. Any coffee cup can be used.

This has proven to be a very powerful 'little' trick. The effect far supersedes the props-one of which can be borrowed.
Compared with coins and cards, there are not that many dice tricks around,
Many that I've come across rely on mathematics, which I've never found to be that magical. There are also enough people who are aware that both sides of any die will add up to seven. The few effects I do with dice are connected to cards-beyond that, Mohammed Bey's Chink a Chink as inspired by Malini; a one in the hand two in the pocket with dice and a a couple of balls-and this one, which can include a single cup from my cups and balls set if I have it with me. Double Whammy can be connected to additional dice effects once this one is done. The bag the dice are presented in, seems odd-but, must be constructed as such and used because of the m.o.. For what you get,-a bag, some dice, and a gimmick which is easily found anywhere-plus the routine, I thought the trick was over priced. Maybe it's the bag, which is not like any bag you or your spectator will ever see. Price gripe aside, I still pull this out, and get great responses from it. And, at least it's not completely grounded in math!
