Gaffed Dice

Postby Guest » September 30th, 2003, 4:37 pm

Gents-

I am trying to find someone who can gaff dice. Specifically, I am looking for a pair of magnetized dice that work without a crooked gaming table.

This is for my version of the Sach's dice routine and I am trying to end with a version of the Reed McClintock/Steve Dobson kicker, but without using the gaff that they describe. For those of you familiar with the routine, it will be readily apparent where and how the magnetized dice will function.

I am sure I am not the first one to think of this, but I think that if such dice are available, they will be much more functional to the worker.

I would greatly appreciate any help, references, etc. that you can provide me.

I'm unfamiliar with the McClintock/Dobson finale to the dice routine. Can someone explain? Thanks! :)

The dice become permanently stuck together

Seems to me a switch for a pair of glued dice would be more practical than magnetic... but... I don't know the routine.

The "juiced" dice I have won't cause 'em to stick together, but they will win me lots of money.... :D :D :D
Stay tooned.

you can drill out one or two spots on the side you want down and imbed steel nail or rod stock and putty the holes over and paint it. ive done about fifty, maybe a hundred of them. remember, slow drill speed on plastic casino dice or they'll start melting. go as deep as you can and get as much iron in it without going too close to the up side. drill out the two spots to get a five etc. are you having a few friends over?? tape a big maggie to your knee inder your longjons!
