Two thin pieces of black plastic (about the size of playing cards) are shown. A black die is sandwiched between the two pieces of plastic. The die suddenly vanishes and when separated, a comically flattened die is found between the two pieces of plastic.

Magician shows a plain piece of card. They mark one corner by trimming it off with a pair of scissors. Now, a hole is punched into that same corner. Directly, the hole is slid diagonally across the card to arrive at the opposite corner.

A number is predicted. Four elongated dice are introduced. Each die has four different colored sides and each side has a 2-digit number. The dice are arranged so that each color is represented once. The numbers are totaled and the prediction is correct. Related to Mel Stover’s “Irresistable Force.”
