Mental Die is to Mentalism what Time Travel is to Quantum Physics! ESP=MC2!!! It can be handled by the spectator at all times, looks like a completely normal die even upon extremely close examination, and I've never had anyone question its authenticity or even mention electronics. It's just that clean. Anyone can roll the die and you can determine with 100% accuracy what was rolled whether you can see it or not based on vibration feedback from a very small receiver. You can use this knowledge to divine information or to force it, and there are several great routines that are included. What else could you ask for??? PERIOD!

I wanted to test this for a while before giving a review, but now that I've used it for more than a month I can say for certain that it works with unfailing accuracy once you become familiar with it. The battery charge lasts a LONG TIME (weeks depending upon use), so you may have to charge it less than once a month. This is important for many amateurs like me who may go quite a while between performances. You can have this ready to go at all times without worrying about constantly charging. The vibration and lights on the receiver let you know that it's charged and paired with the die so you know you're set to perform when the time comes.

Unless my unit is flawed (because the ad copy claims 40+ feet), the only drawback for me (though minimal) is that the range for receiving feedback is low (sometimes less than a foot or two), but can easily be managed by simply moving closer once you are familiar with it, and is still 100% accurate. This is likely why he turns his head away more than his body in the demo videos that are included. You could turn your back (or literally walk into another room) and have the spectator roll the dice, but you will need to turn back around and get close to the die in order to determine what was rolled but IT WILL WORK! There is also a little bit of a setup prior to performing (turning it on and pairing), but this can be done ahead or by briefly turning away or hiding your hands for a few seconds.

You may also need to determine the location for the receiver that works best for you based on the range. I was hoping for my sock, but the waistband (or included armband) may be best for many considering the range. The receiver is small and thin enough that you can even keep it in your hand without ever being noticed (just be sure to cover the pairing indicator light), which may actually be the best (and easiest) option in most scenarios. They also include a link to a Quick Reference page which breaks down the instructions and indicator lights with ease.

This is truly only limited to your imagination and a great value relative to comparable units (up to $1000+). Overall, it's an incredible buy and an AMAZING TOOL for any mentalist or magician!
