Oddball is a good one, is the second one with the die the same principle/effect?

What I don't like with oddball is you have to set it in advance if I'm correct.

[Pete1805]

No the die is gaffed but you get another die although i think it will work with the other die if you used 2 thin lengths of string

The 2nd trick with the die and the flat rope looks interesting, what is the effect Pete?

[Pete1805]

cord thru frame and die,2 spectators hold ends of cord,performer covers frame and die with silk removes die
and shows die is complete with hole through it,you get 2 die

[David DeTenyo]

Thanks Pete.

For those interested in an odd-ball like routine where the cord with beads is threaded onto the beads in advance, there is NANA'S NECKLACE by Dean Dill available. I own it and while it does require a litle bit (not that much!) of practice it is a great effect.
You can see a performance here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMBIaQL5Jqg

Yes I see how it's done (a bit fumbling in the middle of the rope ) But it's a good performance.
