Special thanks to Mr. Tony Curtis for coming up with the name of this effect.
A spectator is invited to call out any one of the six spots on a die. The choice is completely free and there is absolutely no force of any kind. The performer then directs attention to the antique style jewelry box that has been in full view the whole time and explains that prior to the show he made a prediction and isolated it away in this box. The box is then opened revealing a black velvet box which can be opened by the spectator himself. Surprisingly, the uppermost number of a die inside is a perfect match to the number chosen by the spectator! It is that direct.
Please note that the above routine can be performed under these fair conditions:
•
The die was indeed placed inside the box before the spectator makes her selection - No loading of any kind!
•
Only ONE die is used - No switching of the die at any time!
•
Completely self-contained - No palming and nothing to hide!
•
The spectator has an absolutely free choice of any of the 6 spots on a die!
•
The effect can be immediately repeated with another free selection!
•
The die can be removed by the spectator and both boxes can be completely examined!
•
The box remains in full view at all times and the effect can be performed completely surrounded!
The black velvet box measures approximately 4cms square by 4cms high and the antique style wooden box measures approximately 14.5cms square by 8.5cms high and handcrafted with a high-gloss Jewelry Box finish and lined in quality velvet fabric.
