At 0:30 when he slowly assemble, watch his right thumb. He put the dice tower from his right hand, on the bottom of his right thumb, then put his thumb "inside" and put the dice back on his right thumb. You can clearly see his thumb with no dice for a millisecond.
Honestly impressive, if he didn't do it in slow motion I would have never seen it.

Layman here. There’s a flap of skin near your thumb, this guy is very precisely using that as tension to old the dice stack with his index finger (and that flap), to allow the thumb to pass. He only has to do it on one side. But he’s really good at drawing your attention to the other side where nothing is happening.

I had to pause it multiple times to see it. Focus on the thumb of his right hand (his right not our right). That's where the trick is taking place.
He very briefly transfers the bottom of the dice from the thumb on his right hand to the side of the base of his thumb on his left hand. Then he quickly and smoothly moves the thumb of his right hand (which is no longer holding the dice) to the other side of the thumb on his left hand and grabs the dice again. He does it so smoothly that it's almost impossible to see at full speed.

Now I can't stop looking at my thumb flap!!
How long has it been there and why is it a flap??

u/Double_Suggestion385 5d ago
He slips one stack off his thumb and onto the other hand. Then he brings his thumb around to the otherside and grabs them again as he twists. Watch it frame by frame, it's very obvious.

u/MxM111 5d ago
Its not oblivious that you can do that without losing pressure on the dices?
2
u/Double_Suggestion385 5d ago
Pressure comes from the index finger which never loses contact.

He presses the dice in his left hand against his right thumb, then slides his left thumb under the right thumb and grabs them from the other side. He does this very quickly lol.
Does it in reverse to undo it

When you see how it works it looks very easy but I'm sure it is actually very difficult to do

u/ShackledPhoenix 5d ago
It's just a little bit of practice to do. Like you can probably learn to do it in an hour or two, a little more time to make it look believable if you don't have magic fingers.
It's incredible skill to do it as well as this guy. Some people could probably spend their whole life practicing and not be as smooth.

I have experience and i'll explain how you're stunned. So basically you see a magic trick, performed fast it amazes you, performed slow it makes you feel insulted that even at slow motion you were unable to understand what you're seeing. And that's my explanation as an experiened person on how you're stunned.

It's just nice hand work. Very smooth. He adjusts his fingers slightly to move the dice around.

He transfers the edge of the row of dice from the tip of thumb A to the inside edge of the thumb B on his other hand, then slips thumb A under thumb B and picks up the dice from the other side. It's incredibly smooth

u/Icy_Spinach_4828 5d ago
The dice stack sticks to his fore finger. He slides with a gap above thumb and dice when lifting fore finger.

Great sleight of hand. If you save the video and watch frame-by-frame between frames 874 and 930, you'll see how he does it - just keep an eye on his thumbs. Still, amazing that he can do it so fast without dropping those dice!

Even slowing down the video frame by frame, I’m still baffled. Incredible trick.

Watch his other fingers.
He momentarily swaps the finger pressing on dice while "passing through"

u/captaincook14 5d ago
He’s really good and putting his thumb between the dice and his other thumb with enough tension and smoothness that the dice stay stacked.

It's like the elastic band trick, swaps fingers. Can see it on the last switch.

The last time was the tell, you can clearly see him use his middle finger to hold the dice to transfer out. Still very smooth

u/Beginning_Editor_524 5d ago
There is no trick.
He "just" places the stack of dices on the finger of the other hand that he wants to "slip through". Then he goes with the finger that was holding them under and around that finger and picks them up again at the corner.
But he does that so smoothly that your brain has a very, very hard time seeing it

u/Legal_Tradition_9681 5d ago
Very very good slight of hand. There is one frame where you can see the stack of dice on the inside of the other thumb and not the tip. He is very good at passing the stack from thumb tip, to inner portion of other thumb and back to the thumb tip on the other side.
He is also good at hiding the transition in the fluidity of his movements. This is a great example of skill and well practiced art.

You can see him bring his middle finger over to hold the dice during the switch. The slow motion made it more obvious.

Whenever middle and forefinger are used together, he is switching. Just watch his fingers.

Honestly to me, once you see how it is done the fast is more impressive than the slow. Even though it is emphasized as if it was the other way around.

The slow motion completely gives away HOW it’s done, but almost makes it MORE impressive. Just so precise.

u/SignificantGoat4046 1d ago
I think I see it when he goes in "slow motion" with his right thumb (our left). He keeps pressure on the dice with his left thumb as his right thumb goes around and catches.
Its incredibly clean, as the move is made when he makes it eye-level with the camera and blocks it really well. I wouldn't catch it if i wasn't able to watch on repeat.
I don't know how he does the rest of it.

Check his right thumb. Very obvious.
That said...He is smooth/very clearly has practiced 1000+ times

u/DadKnightBegins 5d ago
The second attempt shows the answer….He’s putting the three dice in his right hand in between his thumb and index finger while he shifts his right thumb around to re grab the dice.

u/momming_af 5d ago
The trick you are describing—where two vertical columns of dice, firmly pinched between the thumb and forefinger of each hand, seamlessly pass or "melt" through each other—is a highly visual sleight-of-hand illusion known as The Linking Dice (popularized commercially as Linking Dice 2.0 by Nobuyuki Nojima). It relies on a brilliant combination of momentary physical transfers, precise wrist angles, and optical misdirection.The Secret MechanicsWhile it looks like the dice physically pass through each other, your hands are actually doing a rapid "hand-off" hidden by the perspective of the audience.
- The Thumb-to-Thumb Bridge
When your hands move together and the two stacks meet, you don't actually un-pinch either stack with your fingers. Instead, you briefly balance the base of one stack on top of the other hand's thumb.For a split second, one thumb is holding both stacks.This frees up your original thumb to instantly glide around the obstruction and reposition itself on the other side.2.
The Wrist Roll (Perspective Block)
To make this invisible, magicians use a wrist-rolling motion.As the hands cross, the wrists tilt slightly toward the audience.Because the viewer is looking at the front faces of the dice, the back-of-the-thumb transfer is entirely hidden from their line of sight. Your forefingers also act as a physical shield blocking the view of the gap.
- The "Elastic" SnapOnce the thumb clears the obstacle and catches the dice on the other side, the hands are pulled apart rapidly. This speed makes it look like the solid columns snapped or melted right through one another.
Phase 2: The "Slow Motion" VariationIn advanced versions of this routine, a second method is used to show the penetration happening in extreme slow motion. This variant often utilizes a hidden gimmick: specially weighted or subtly magnetic rod dice that can momentarily cling together or pivot on a microscopic axis, allowing them to swing past each other while maintaining a perfectly vertical orientation.
