Magic Dice Tricks for the Successful Magician

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

When people think of magicians, they often imagine them doing magic card tricks. But there are several other genres of magic tricks that the successful magician performs. One of those types of magic includes performing dice tricks.

Dice tricks are fun and easy. And even if you have never performed a magic trick before, you can learn to do these…

Keep in mind this simple premise that the numbers on the dice are predictable – opposite sides on the dice add up to seven. You can get a lot of mileage out of these little cubes! Try these magic tricks out:

The Bartender’s Psychic Dice Trick:

You will need three dice, a tumbler full of water and a volunteer for this trick. Get the volunteer to drop the dice into the tumbler and ask them to hold up the tumbler and add up the numbers on the bottom of the dice.

Now ask him to place the tumbler back down on the table. Reach in and grab the dice and rub them on your forehead. Make sure to pick up the dice in such a way, that it is obvious that you did not see the bottoms.

Now reveal the total of the dice to the volunteer. Your audience will be amazed that you are correct.

Of course, you will know the number because you saw the dice’s upward faces. You have added them up in your head and subtracted that number from 21 – the answer you get is the total of the bottom faces of the dice.

Remembering that the opposite faces of a dice always add up to seven, you have three dice, so three times seven is 21. If the bottom numbers were two, three and five, their total is ten. The top numbers will be five, four and two – a total of eleven. Eleven plus ten equals 21. A simple, but effect, dice trick!

Another version of this trick is the Dinky Dice trick. Using three dice, get a volunteer to roll them and then stack them one on top of the other, while your back is turned.

While you can’t see, tell them to add up all five faces of the dice, which are hidden (that will be the two faces on the bottom and middle dice, plus the bottom face of the third die). Now we already know that six faces in alignment will add up to 21. When you turn and see the top dice is the number three, you can quickly tell the audience that the volunteer’s added number is eighteen and you’ll be correct!

Here is another trick that your audience will be amazed by, before they work out the simplicity of it, is the Clock Face and Magic Die trick.

You will need one die and a watch or clock. Tell your volunteer to select a number from the clock, but don’t reveal it.

Now tell them to find the opposite number on the clock (for example, three is opposite nine) and subtract the smaller number from the larger one. To this number they must add one and remember the final number.

The magician (that’s you!) rolls the die and say that the number that appears on the die, plus the one on the opposite side will add up to the number they have in their head!

The two faces on the die will always add up to seven (we know that already), and the math formula from the clock face will always add up to seven, too – tricky, but very effective!

There are plenty more dice tricks like these ones – but a successful magician knows how much to reveal to keep the audience interested. Have fun with these tricks and amaze your friends and family!

What is Joomla and Why Do I Need It?

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

Joomla Tutorials is in high demand as Joomla, an open source CMS, is quickly becoming the Content Management System of choice by the vast audience of website owners who are updating their sites to fit into a Web 2.0 framework.

Learning Joomla is easy with Joomla Administrator, and the Joomla tutorials provided by MyJoomlaGuide.com.  Web 2.0 is a term used to describe the next-generation of websites. These 2.0 websites provide such functionality as the ability to add and upload their own content, as well as write reviews, share images, videos, post in forums, just about anything.

Joomla is an Open-Source (this means it’s free), Content Management System (CMS), which simplifies much of the technical tasks of running a website, and turns them into a simple to use interface where just about anyone can become an effective webmaster.

If you’re one of millions of businesses with a website which has been unchanged for several months, or worse, several years, you’re not alone. Over 50% of all internet websites are older, Static (meaning they don’t change), without any Web 2.0 features.

Joomla is an affordable alternative, it’s free, and Joomla has a very large user community. Joomla’s easy-to use “Administrator,” or “Backend” interface allows even the most novice user the ability to effectively manage their website.

Joomla has thousands of Extensions and Plugins to expand core functionality of the system to provide additional features and benefits. This means, you can quickly and easily add new features to your Joomla website simply by installing them via the simple to use Administrator.

Joomla’s built-in Search Engine Optimized linking system (this means the search engines love these types of sites) is managed automatically. You only need to add content, and provide some details about the content via the Administrator, and Joomla will produce well optimized links and titles, making your sites appealing and easily indexable to the search engines.

Visually, Joomla is just as stunning as any other website out there. With thousands of Free Joomla templates and several high-quality Joomla Template clubs, finding the perfect template for your site shouldn’t be a difficult task.

So let’s see, easy to use, search engine optimized, easily expandable, visually stunning, and it’s free. So why do you need Joomla?
