Rattle Dice by Alex Latorre

Created by: Alex Latorre

Rattle Dice is a close-up magic trick that utilizes a specially gimmicked die to create the illusion of multiple dice being present when only one is actually in play. The gimmicked die produces a rattling sound mimicking two dice, enhancing the illusion of vanishes, teleportations, and changes. This trick is perfect for magicians who perform gambling-themed routines or those looking to add a unique audio-based illusion to their repertoire. The set includes two standard, un-gimmicked dice and one gimmicked die, along with a small silencer to control the sound.

Effect

Rattle Dice is a clever audio-based illusion that makes one die sound like multiple dice. The audience sees and hears dice being shaken, but the magician can make them vanish, teleport, or change with impossible speed. The sound of rattling dice sells the illusion, making it seem like multiple dice are in play when only one is actually being used.

Full Details

The Rattle Dice set includes three dice: two standard, ungimmicked dice and one specially designed gimmicked die. The gimmicked die produces a rattling sound that mimics multiple dice, enhancing the deception. A small silencer is also included to control the sound when needed.

The trick comes with instructional videos featuring multiple routines, including vanishes, teleportations, and gambling-themed effects. The gimmick is durable and requires no DIY setup, making it ready to use immediately. Angles are forgiving, and the ungimmicked dice can be examined by spectators.

Who Should Consider the Trick

Rattle Dice is ideal for magicians who:

Perform close-up or walk-around magic.
Enjoy gambling-themed routines.
Want a versatile prop that works in live and social media performances.
Prefer tricks with minimal setup and instant reset.

Difficulty

The routines are considered relatively easy to learn, especially for those familiar with basic sleight of hand. The gimmick does most of the heavy lifting, but proper timing and misdirection are key to maximizing the effect.
