Dice Hopper by Tenyo Magic - Trick

(Created By: Hiroki Tanaka of Tenyo Magic, Japan)

Tanaka is a relatively recent addition to the creative division and his previous item was  “Psycho Gravity”. His new creation forTenyo is “DICE HOPPER”, which allows you to perform entirely sleight-free handling of “Matrix” using dice.

Here is the Effect:

The performer brings out a shallow square plastic box with lid whose interior is divided into four compartments. When the lid is removed, one die is seen in each compartment. Each time the lid is placed on, and then removed, a die jumps to another compartment until all four has magically jumped together.

The gimmick which makes this possible is, I think, something new. Interestingly, it can both pick up and drop different dice in the same compartment. But what is hidden in the lid is not what you think and you will be surprised at what it is and how it works.

Clever, and everything can be examined at the end if you are sitting at a table.
