Looking for info on NUMBER DICE from National magic, Chicago.
There are five dice and each side has a three digit number.
I don't have the instructions and not sure what the effect is, though I assume it is some kind of instant math like the Mental Logs.
I can't even find a twelve year-old on youtube explaining it
Any help will be most appreciated.

Sounds like Heaths Deciphering Dice.

I made my own from 3' wooden cubes so that they can be seen better when performing for a group.

Yes, that is the one I do with a base of 80 instead of 50.

If you happen to have a copy of Burton Sperber's first Miracles of My Friends, check out the item titled "Heathin'.

How does it go down with an audience does it get a good reaction?

Re: Number Dice from National Magic
It works best with teenagers. They have a better grasp of math but still can have fun with the dice (I use 3" wooden cubes).
It's my Smart Brain against their Smart Phones. With the 8 die set I can have more participants involved and with the energy of teenagers they make it entertaining.
It's also a good transition effect as I can leave the props out for them to try to figure it out while I set up the next trick.

If you wish to make your own this it the cubes I use.

These are the metal corners I attach to dress up the props.

That sounds like a lot of fun and great audience participation, it also great you can leave the props out
