This hauntingly mysterious effect is as genius as it is baffling.
Based off the original Spirit Dice by the amazing Magiro and Eckhard Boettcher, the Jumbo Spirit Dice uses a larger more visual 25mm dice along with being made of luxurious Jarrah Eucalyptus hard wood and given a haunted relic aesthetic.
No magnets or electronics are used just a devilishly clever method.
The spectator is asked to pick a number between 1 and 6 or roll a random dice. The choice is a 100% a free choice. Once the spectator has chosen a number the performer gestures to a container that has been sitting untouched and off to the side of the table. The performer carefully introduces the container showing it fairly as it’s slowly opened up. As the spectator looks into the container they see impossibly a dice sitting inside with their selection showing face up!
This piece can be used as a haunted effect where the dice is said to mysteriously move because of spirits close by. It can also be used as a mentalism effect where the performer is seen to place a dice into the container as a prediction. The container is set aside and the spectator asked to choose a number. The container is then reintroduced to show your prediction matches their free selection perfectly, every time.
Assembled piece measures approximately: 3 3/8" Wide x 2" High (8.5cm x 5.5cm)

Anthony Yap is an Australian artist with a passion for visual oddities, magical history and the esoteric arts. Influenced by a wide range of genres from mystical ancient cultures to Steampunk & Retrofuturism, Anthony’s creations are highly visual, and usually a lot more than what they seems at first glance.
Some artists naturally take to drawing, others modelling clay, for Anthony the virtual world of 3D Sculpting has been his medium of choice for over 2 decades and remained mostly contained to the virtual world until the rise of 3D Printing and additive manufacturing. Here Anthony saw an opportunity to rapidly take concepts and almost like magic to see those creations manifest over night into reality. While a big step in the right direction simply using 3D printing or CNC wasn’t enough, the result still felt unfinished and looked like a toy. Instead, a process and style was developed that uses 3D Printing & CNC as a base to start from with all of the individual pieces then undergoing a long process of hand work, assembly, hand painting & lacquer finishing to bring further quality, depth and feel to the magical creation. Through this process of mixing modern technology and classic hand crafting a unique characteristic is given to each of the items sometimes making the final piece feel as if it was just dug from an ancient tomb or discovered in the archives of some long lost traveling showman.
Due to the hand crafted nature of each of the pieces Anthony and his team can only produce a limited number of items each year with majority of the pieces going to collectors and enthusiasts from around the world.
