Here's the killer tip...When you pick up the die, squeeze it between your finger and thumb so that there are two wee dents in your fingertips. Then let off the pressure just so much that the die does not fall, but is sitting in the divots.

Then blow hard, but through a narrow hole in your lips. Make sure that you are blowing against the extreme edge of the die; if you blow towards the centre of it you will not get a spin.

Have fun Smile

Take care, Ian

Nah....just attach some invisible thread to spin and then place your finger under the die.

You can even spin on your nose that way...what skill Smile

What would look way cool is to spin a dice in one hand and a chip in the other.

(may be my wife won't beat us all on that one, but with her luck she would get drum beats or something)

As crazy and misinturpreted as this is going to sound, please keep the comments to a minimum, are you exhaling onto the surface of the die right? (I avoided the obvious word for obvious reasons!)

Yes but for max effect once it spins move it out and away so it it the focus. as it slows pitch it up and clear then grab as it comes down. Looks good like that.

Yeah, I hold it close to my mouth then when it's spinning I move it out front. You can easily get it spinning fast enough to take away from your mouth and hold it front of you with enough spin to keep going for several seconds. As the spin slows down I open my fingers and let it drop to my palm, then I roll it over my knuckles, as with a coin roll, and let it drop into my other hand. I don't know why I do that, but that's what I do.

If you stack dice or do other effects with dice it's a decent, fluorishy, sequence.

Years ago a buddy of mine who was a boxman and constantly came in hung over and stinking of booze used to take a die and blow on it and it would spin so fast he would let go with his forefinger and it would spin on its own on his thumb. I think he used to hold it up for like 4-5 seconds, something like that, funny to watch.
We used to kid him to not blow too hard as his breath would melt the dice, lol.

You can flick it with the 1st finger of the same hand if you hold it between your thumb and middle finger. I think it looks a little nicer this way.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.
