Magic Tricks

Bob Sheets' dice routine includes the same effects as the famous Dr. Saks routine, but has a different ending. Sheets' routine is easier to memorize, including repositioning the dice between phases.

The two moves are easy, although it takes time to learn to do them smoothly. The fingers have to be pretty much in the same position before and after the move, which is important for the illusion that you've merely turned your hand over.

I also prefer Sheets' way of showing the dice directly in front of your body, rather than the common way of doing Dr. Saks' routine, in which you hold the dice off to the side.

I took off a star because it takes some effort to follow Sheets' instructions. He could have done it slower and made it clear which move he was doing at each stage. It helps to write a summary of the routine.
