Impressive. That said, I just played a game yesterday against a friend who always uses a dice cup. Throughout our game, he needed to make perhaps 10-12 morale rolls of 4+. Using his dice cup he made one single 4+ roll. I think he did more damage to his army than I did. Please do not show him this video. I need his really appalling luck to win, as he is a very intelligent opponent! |

Sad that some are so invested in winning that they would cheat at a game.
P.S. I am one of those who cant roll a number I need ever. I lose more game by rolling a 1 when I need a 6, etc. My buddies just laugh.

The dice stacking itself wasn't really that impressive (I know how it's done after just watching the video). The finish, however, was really nice. |

I used to work for a couple of table magicians here in Las Vegas. Not impressed. |

No, I have seen cheating with dice cups and violators were discharged from the group.unbalanced dice, average dice, improper markings on measuring sticks and even rulers. Extreme measures and more common among tournament fanatics than weekend warriors. |

Dice towers eliminate certain types of physical manipulation techniques for cheating, but allow others and create new ones. They do not affect dice alterations like weighting or the "5-2". |
