Badlands Bob (2011) by Collectors’ Workshop

Although this effect has long been considered a CW original and credited to Phillipus (Phil) Postma of the Netherlands, this effect was first invented as Rota Die by Marvillo of West Germany, click here for more details.

Effect: An Original Viking Mfg. / Collectors’ Workshop Product. New larger box; classic design; redesigned gimmick. A GREAT close-up miracle, ready to perform any time, any where.

The performer displays a small walnut box with a die sealed within. The die can be seen through the clear acrylic top. A wonderful and colorful story about Badlands Bob begins to unfold. Sadly, he lost his life on the roll of this very die!

A spectator is asked to try and change the uppermost number on the die by shaking the box, which he soon finds is impossible. The performer then asks the spectator to choose a number between 1 and 6. “If you were Badlands Bob, which number would you have chosen?”

The box is simply pushed toward the spectator and lo and behold, the uppermost number now matches the spectator’s selected number!

No switches; there is a hidden gimmick, but easily concealed. Any number between 1 and 6 may be used as there is no force. Instantly resets and therefore is a great walk-around effect. Can be examined before and after. No awkward moves; done right under their noses.

Finest quality and a joy to perform. Comes complete with die, secret and instructions. You’ll do this 10 minutes after receiving it and you’ll perform this often. It’s that good!

1 5/16″ square; 1/4″ solid walnut case.
