Dice Stacking, like never before

This guy is insane. Especially the 5x4

[Ichneumon]

That is interesting. How does he do it?

[Reinboom]

Well, you will notice that nearly all dice stackers use casino dice - they don't have rounded corners. The dice are in complete control.
I can't say for certain how he does two stacks at once, but, it's definitely by the same nature as those who can do rubix cubes blindfolded - just faster.
With each motion, changing the direction or location of 1 to two dice.

totally shooped. there is a discrepancy between frames at the 17 second mark.

[Exeson]

If you read the link the guy gave he said it worked on his fifth attempt, so whilst the odds are good that it will happen with the right technique it isn't 100% success rate.

I'm with reorith...I suspect a cut. There's a weird jerkiness in the shake-to-reveal moment.

I watched it four times and didn't see anything. I think it's legitimate.

Also (don't take this as an insult), I find it interesting that you spelled "discrepancy" corrected, but messed up "shopped".

to say something is shooped means it was manipulated digitally (a corruption of shopped)

Fancy. The speed of this guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqMRxiZ2s2c&NR=1) is unbelievable, though. Also, 20 dice sorted by color here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zn93qpd2WWE&feature=related).

[RTGoodman]

I don't necessarily think it's a fake. The shape of the cup he uses seems to me like it would sort of put the dice into two tall columns like that if you shake it around hard enough like he did. Someone else can test that idea, though, because I'm not going to try it! :smallbiggrin:

I watched that a few weeks ago, along with his other videos, and it's pretty cool, but I don't know if it's very difficult. The hardest part, to me, seems to be the downstacking or whatever it's called (taking them back out of the stack). With practice, though, that seems like the thing anyone with a few d6s and a cup could learn to do.

My thought process watching this video:

"Wow you're cool you can put dice in a cube ok wait what is he doing it's just gonna be a heap of dice HOLY DANG!"

I wish I had mad dice stacking skillz.
