X Dice by TCC Magic

Effect

The audience sees a magician perform with dice. The dice appear to multiply in number and change size. A routine may start with two dice. One die seems to be placed in a pocket, but two dice remain in the hand. A third die is introduced. The dice then visibly shrink into tiny versions. Finally, they transform into one large, jumbo die. The effect is a visual sequence of growing and shrinking objects.
