In this effect a white die is shown inside a small transparent container that looks like an over-sized pill bottle. When the bottle is given a shake, the die visibly and impossibly morphs into eight tiny dice (or alternatively, into a transparent red die).

Crash Dice is startling and visually attractive. It can be performed surrounded and close-up. It might make a good flash opener for walk-around.

It has two drawbacks though. First, clean-up is a bit of a challenge. The trick comes with instructions for cleaning up, but they're impractical unless you happen to be seated at a table and can pull a Slydini. It took me several days to find a way to clean up when performing the trick standing up.

Second, the trick partly depends on a gimmick in the bottle. With a little ingenuity the gimmick can be disguised, allowing the bottle to be handed out for inspection. Nevertheless, I wish the bottle lid was designed to completely conceal the gimmick.

Despite the shortcomings, I'm enthusiastic about this little trick. It looks like real magic and is fairly easy to perform (once you've figured out the clean-up). This is one of Tenyo's more inspired creations.

This is one of Tenyo's better tricks. It is simple, easy to perform and is a great visual effect. The performer displays a small handheld clear plastic container with a single regular sized white die in it. With a quick shake of the container, the die turns into eight miniature dice and the regular die has vanished. There is an alternative presentation in which the white die turns into a red die. In both effects, the transformed dice can be handed out for inspection, but there is a small amount of cleanup to do, which happens right in front of the spectator. The quality of the product is good and the promotional video accurately depicts the effect. As with many Tenyo products, this is slightly expensive for what it is, but worthy of the space in your magic bag. This will amaze children and adults. The instructions are easy to follow and this can be performed right out of the box, without even reading the directions.
