I just tried to do that about a dozen times and failed miserably.

I just tried it, and I'm going to need a lot more dice. Not sure where it went?

Guys, the die is not "loaded/balanced." It's the real die from the craps table. Here is another photo of the Master in action:


The Master blows the die with the force of a hurricane. The die spins like a windmill just like the one shown in the photo below.




Hey Math & Petro, do what the Master does, and do try to spin a die again. Have fun and good luck.
I'm OK with Corps which pick and choose clienteles. Both insurance companies and casinos have the right to pick and choose customers. They may keep profitable ones and kicked out the rest. But, I'm not OK with a casino supervisor who says counting cards... is like stealing food from a buffet (a foodlifting offense), or video-taping a movie in a cinema (a piracy offense).

I've seen it done by box people. I can't, but I also don't have the patience to continue practicing. It takes a pretty sensitive touch. I got it to spin a little, but got bored. I can imagine that if that is what I did for a living, in between customers over years, I would probably acquire familiarity like any average person that applies themselves to any task?

Thanks for the photo's.

That is really neat that he can balance it on his thumb. I've only seen it in between the thumb and another finger, part of the show.

That is similar to how we checked arrows for archery to look for any warping. Target points only, of course.

Could the Captain spin a die on his thumb too?



A month from now: the story of the Captain spinning one die on top of another, in

opposing

rotations.
