Effect
The Dice Roll Prediction trick creates a moment of astonishment when a magician accurately predicts the sum of multiple dice rolls. The climax occurs when a photograph, taken during the performance, shows a clock frozen at the exact time matching the final dice total. The audience sees the prediction in full view the entire time, making the impossibility of the trick even more striking.
Full Details
The trick involves rolling dice multiple times while keeping a prediction visible. The magician and an assistant announce the cumulative total of the rolls. At the end, a photograph reveals a clock displaying the exact time corresponding to the final sum. The method ensures no switches or hidden setups are possible, as the prediction remains in full view.
The version shown in the video is a "members card" variant, meaning it likely requires a specific prop, such as a gimmicked card or device, to achieve the effect. The presentation is casual and conversational, making the moment feel spontaneous and unrehearsed.
Who Should Consider the Trick
This trick suits magicians who enjoy prediction effects with a strong visual payoff. It works well in both casual and formal settings, as the presentation can be adapted to different styles. Those who appreciate clean, impossible-looking magic with minimal sleight of hand will find this appealing.
Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform
The difficulty level depends on the method used, but the performance shown suggests minimal technical skill is required. The focus is on presentation and timing rather than complex moves. The trick relies more on the prop and setup than on advanced sleight of hand, making it accessible to beginners while still impressive for experienced performers.
What Magicians Say
The video from SaturnMagicShop highlights the trick's strong visual impact. The magicians maintain a casual tone, enhancing the effect's spontaneity. One reviewer notes, "The clock appears to be genuinely frozen in time within the photograph," emphasizing the impossibility of the moment. The trick's structure—keeping the prediction visible the entire time—eliminates suspicion of hidden moves, making the reveal even more baffling.
The performance ends with genuine surprise, as seen in the reaction: "That is Frozen in Time... wow." The trick’s simplicity in presentation and strong payoff make it a compelling choice for performers looking for a memorable prediction effect.
