Rainbow Dice Effect

The magician displays a large hexagonal panel, which shows a perspective drawing of a die, white with black spots.
He passes this behind his back, and when it emerges the color has now changed to yellow.
Of course, the audience is not impressed, because it seems obvious that he simply turned the panel over. After some by-play, the magician turns the panel around, and it is yellow on both sides.

But wait! When the performer turns the panel over again, the other side is now red. He turns it over once more, and the other side is now green.

The performer offers to take things yet one step further: He’ll make the die become any color that the audience names.
Thus encouraged, the spectators yell out various colors. The magician is able to produce a satisfying surprise ending, for when the die is turned over it is now striped with a virtual rainbow of colors!

Rainbow Dice Description

Rainbow Dice is a visual stage magic trick created by the renowned Japanese magic inventor Ton Onosaka.

The performance involves a large hexagonal panel featuring a perspective drawing of a white die with black spots. The routine follows a sequence of color changes designed to mislead and then surprise the audience:

Initial Change: The magician passes the panel behind their back, and it emerges yellow.
The “Sucker” Phase: The audience typically suspects the magician simply flipped the panel over. The magician then proves it is yellow on both sides.
Progressive Changes: As the routine continues, the panel is turned over again to reveal it has changed to red, and then green.
Climax: After the audience calls out various colors, the magician reveals a final surprise: the die is now striped with a multi-colored rainbow pattern.

The trick is known for its high-quality construction and the clever mechanism that allows for multiple, distinct color changes on a thin panel, making it a staple of “sucker” magic routines.

Condition Disclosure for Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic Apparatus

PHOTOS

Please review all listing photos carefully, as they are an important part of the item description. The photos are intended to show the overall visual condition of the apparatus, including possible imperfections, paint quality, decals if applicable, shelf wear, performance wear, and age-related characteristics.

LABELS

MagicTrickCollection.com does not rely on broad condition labels such as “good,” “very good,” “excellent,” or “mint” for vintage and antique magic effects. These terms can be subjective and may mean different things to different collectors. Instead, we believe clear photos from multiple angles provide the most accurate way to evaluate condition without revealing the working secrets of the effect.

If your intent is to perform with the item, please understand that some vintage apparatus may require careful handling, adjustment, and practice. This disclosure is provided to help ensure buyers understand they are purchasing a vintage collectible magic item with age, history, and character—not a newly manufactured prop.
