FS: Miller's Dice -- Unavailable for a long time

Postby Paul Green » October 24th, 2014, 2:07 pm

Miller's Dice
Just found two sets of Miller's Dice in my office. Unavailable for a long time.
The magician relays a story that he read about in a recent newspaper. Apparently, three fellows were arrested for gambling with dice. When brought before the judge, the guilty parties are allowed to roll the dice to determine their fates. While two of the gamblers receive stiff fines and jail time, the last fellow uses magic to avoid any and all penalties.
Comes with five 3/4" Red Transparent "Drugstore style dice". Regular pair may be used for the Sack Routine (not included) and three other custom dice.
$20, including USPS Priority Shipping in the USA. PayPal only.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your interest. Both sets have been spoken for. If I find any additional sets, I will post their availability.

Enjoy the Search.

I found the answer to my question in the review of the trick in the 9/95 Linking Ring (a highly favorable review, as was the one in Genii). There are two normal dice, one with no spots (each face is blank), one with 7 spots on each face, and one where the faces have the normal number of spots (one spot, two spots, etc up to six spots), but the orientation is changed so that opposite faces don't add up to seven.

And for what it's worth, Christian Chelman's book Hauntiques has an alternate routine for the dice.

Oh, dear--that brings a certain Genii Forum zombie thread to mind! :mrgreen:

Here's another review reference: Sisti, Jim (editor): The Magic Menu The International Journal for Professional Restaurant and Bar Magicians Years Six through Ten, p 354.
