Overview

You hand someone a pair of dice to examine and then you shake them between your hands, as you pretend to divine the numbers. When they look between your hands to confirm snake eyes, a scary-looking snake head pops out at them. Look out! The screams will be heard across the room! If you own Michael Ammar’s ‘Little Hand’ or have ever seen it performed, this is that on steroids for reactions.

Method

There are no sleighs involved in the very simple and entertaining effect. The premise is essentially you are able to determine the values of 2 dice without looking. The spectator verifies the values as you call them out and you are wrong every time. After cupping your hands while shaking the dice a little rubber snake makes it's surprising appearance. Easy to learn, keep it in your pocket and you are ready to go anytime, anywhere. Seconds to set up and will always get great reactions (jumping back and or screaming) if this is your thing.

Product Quality

The Snake is made out of rubber, looks great and should last a lifetime as long as you do not force it onto your finger. Hint: if you heat it up with a hair blower on low setting you will be able to stretch it a bit but be careful you don’t tear it at the opening. Please know that there is no video to teach you this one, the instructions are printed (with photos) on the insert of the packaging.
No worries though as it is very simple and self-explanatory, you will be performing this within minutes.

Ad Copy Integrity

What the ad describes is accurate, it is what is.

Final Thoughts

If you are looking to get reactions and laughs, this will definitely fill the bill. This is more of a prank/gag/practical joke that would be a great addition to your April fools or Halloween repertoire but obviously could be used anytime you are performing with dice. Warning: you should know that this could really scare or freak someone out so common sense should be used in picking the right Spectator to perform this on. This is a great buy if this is your thing and style of performance.

Suggestions

This is obviously perfect for strolling or table magic performances. Great as an ice-breaker is any situation.
