Dice Pyramid (5716)

What does the audience see? The magician presents four dice of different sizes, a tube and two lids.

The four dice – black with white pips – are shown to the spectators. The magician stacks the dice to form a pyramid. Logically, the largest at the bottom, then the second largest and so on. This dice pyramid is covered with the tube, and the tube is then closed. The decorative arrow point on all four sides of the tube shows the spectators where the top of the pyramid is.

In line with the patter, the tube is now turned over. This means that the smallest dice is at the bottom, the pyramid is upside down, and this is clearly indicated by the arrow point on the tube.
When the tube is removed, the pyramid stands firmly on its base, the right way up. The largest dice at the bottom, the smallest on top.
Has the magician only diverted the audience’s attention in some clever way? The tube is now placed over the pyramid with the arrow point facing upwards, closed and then turned over again. The pyramid should really be standing upside down, that’s to say with the smallest dice at the bottom – that is the direction shown by the arrow on the tube.

The magician removes the tube, the pyramid stands perfectly arranged on the table with the large dice at the bottom. How can that be?
It is not possible for the dice to change places in the tube – the tube is simply too narrow.
Apart from that, the tube was shown to be empty at the beginning and several times during the trick.

The pyramid is again covered with the tube and turned over only once – completely without any diversionary tactics. The situation is now quite clear: The pyramid is upside down, the smallest dice must be at the bottom. The whole pyramid will probably collapse when the tube is removed because the large dice on top makes it unstable.

The tension grows, the tube is removed – and the dice stand on the table in the correct order. The large dice at the bottom, the smallest on top. But that is not all: The dice have also changed colour. The bottom dice is green, the next is yellow, the third red and the smalles white!
