“Color Vision”, the name does not seem like anything special, but this magic effect has surely been seen by countless audiences. It was invented by Martin Sunshine in the 1930s and won two awards from two national magic societies in 1952. It is a classic among the classics.
Now, as a result of a collaborative effort by TCC Presents & Conan Liu Magic Co., this time-tested classic is recreated as “Dice Vision”!
An antique-looking dark-colored wooden box and wooden die is shown. The magician turns his back to the audience and asks an audience member to place the die into the box with any number facing upward. The magician then determines the number selected by the audience member by listening to sound or by telepathy, without opening the box.
It can be presented as mind-reading, clairvoyance, extrasensory perception, etc, and is an extremely ingenious, clever, and deceptive peek.
The wooden box and lid are made of black walnut, and the inside and outside are hand-waxed with oil; the die is the color of unstained wood (with rounded corners); the dots are carved into the block and colored black (not stickers or printed). An exclusive all-wood version and the ideal size for both close-up and stand-up settings. The die measures 4 cm. and the box is 5,3 cm. It can be comfortably operated with one hand as you see at the video.
The full set includes: wooden box and lid, wooden die, online instructional tutorial by Conan Liu.
