Dice Smith by Benker Smith and Andras Bhartazi

Created by: Benker Smith, Andras Bhartazi

Dice Smith is a revolutionary close-up magic trick that combines smart technology with traditional dice magic. Spectators roll specially designed dice, and the magician—without looking—instantly knows the numbers rolled, which dice were picked up, or even the total sum. The trick works seamlessly with a free companion app, which provides real-time feedback via visual or auditory cues. The dice are completely normal in appearance, fully sealed, and can be handled freely, making them perfect for stage, parlour, or close-up performances. This is ideal for magicians who want to add a modern, tech-enhanced twist to their routines.

Effect

Dice Smith is a smart magic trick that uses specially designed dice connected to a free app. The magician can instantly know which numbers are rolled or which dice a participant picks up, even without looking. The dice appear completely normal but have built-in sensors that communicate with the app in real time. This allows for effects like predicting rolled numbers, identifying which die someone pockets, or revealing who holds a specific color.

Full Details

Dice Smith was created by Benker Smith and Andras Bhartazi, the same team behind Cube Smith and Time Smith. The dice are sealed, look like standard dice, and can be freely handled by spectators. They connect to an app that provides instant feedback on the dice's position, movement, or color.

Key features include:

Real-time tracking – The app shows which numbers are rolled or which dice are picked up.
Movement sensors – Adjustable sensitivity lets you detect when a die is moved or pocketed.
Multiple routines – Perform effects like Karatsuki (identifying who holds a marked die) or combining with other smart magic tools like the SB Watch.
Customization – Blank dice can be used with colors, symbols, or ESP designs.

The app works reliably, with minimal delay, and the dice have a long battery life (40-50 hours per charge).

Who Should Consider the Trick

Dice Smith is ideal for magicians who want:

Strong, self-working effects – The technology does most of the work, making it great for beginners or pros.
Versatility – It’s not just one trick; multiple routines can be built around the dice.
Close-up or stage use – Works well in both settings, especially with the Peek Smith device for discreet viewing.

Difficulty

The trick is easy to perform technically since the app handles the heavy lifting. However, presentation is key—Steve Faulkner notes that while the effect is powerful, magicians should develop a strong routine to make it engaging rather than just relying on the technology.

What Magicians Say

Steve Faulkner (RealMagicReview) calls Dice Smith "incredible" and praises its reliability, saying, "It does all that stuff and it does it very well... highly recommended."
He also highlights its versatility, noting that "you're not getting one effect, you're getting these dice that can do so much."
In performance, he found that even when his presentation wasn’t polished, the effect still stunned audiences: "The trick was so good that they were so confused—but in a good way."

Dice Smith is a modern miracle that blends technology with classic magic principles, making it a standout tool for any magician’s repertoire.

The basic routine is you get someone to roll the dice, and you know what numbers they've rolled—which in itself is a miracle. [...] These guys are real miracle makers, and with great power comes great responsibility for us.
