Die-A-Bolic (Automatic Die) by Lubor Fiedler, Howard Schwarzman

One of Lubor Fielders’s most popular and mind busting effects!

Effect: Performer has spectators examine a small die and after they satisfy themselves that all is fair, they are requested to place the die under a coffee cup or paper cup while your back is turned, and for them to remember the number on the top of the die.

Spectator doesn’t have to throw the die. They can choose any number. Performer mentions about spectators always forgetting chosen cards when he does a card trick. He emphasizes the importance of their remembering the number they place on top of the die. Spectator is now requested to place the die in your hand when your back is turned, any number up. Performer places the die in his pocket. A second later he divines the spectator’s number.

You can perform Die-A-Bolic completely surrounded. It can also be used as a two-person effect, the die taken out of the room after the choice of number etc., and given to the medium.

Any spectator can take the die to the medium . Medium is instantly able to say the number that’s been chosen and to send back her revelation chalked on to a slate. Or the magician can telephone the medium and she names the number!

A novel idea after a number has been chosen and the dice covered over, is for the magician to perform a trick meantime of a different kind. All the time emphasizing that the spectator should be concentrating on the number.  Immediately the magician receives the die a after this effect, he is able to name the number.
