This is a very nice effect where the magician shows a 3 3/4" die along with a tray and a cover. The die after being shown is placed on the tray with the cover placed over. At this point a lacquered cylinder 3 1/8" in diameter is placed on top of the die in the cover.
Using some sort of object such as a rubber mallet or what have you the magician starts tapping on the cylinder and it is seen to sink in to the cover. After finishing with the tapping of the cylinder till it is completely within the cover the cover is removed and the large die is no longer present.
All are left to wonder what has happened to the die but this is quickly answered as the magician lifts away the cylinder and it is seen that the die has been reshaped and it is lifted away and sat down upon a hard surface proving its solid condition!
You will need a mallet or other to use as a prop in this effect. Includes instructions. Condition very fine.
