 This basic effect and method was first invented by James Lucier as The
Cockeyed Skeleton In The Closet and described in Genii October 1949.
The effect was also released c. 1949 through Sedghill Industries as The
Scrambled Skeleton with credit also going to James Lucier. There have
been many versions of all shapes and sizes ever since and Eddy
Taytelbaum’s is probably the best I have seen.

Mark Lee of Merlins Magic has created a fine version and this is part of
Merlins growing Premier Range. The one change that Mark has made is
that each Die is gimmicked, instead of the more usual two, which means
you can do some interesting routine variations, including at the end
vanishing the red die completely In addition, the addition of the lid for
the tube ensures that no prying eyes are looking when they shouldn’t be.

I think you will like playing with this item and it has the most potential for
innovation of the current crop of Premier Range items.

Effect: The magician introduces a small wooden tube with a lid, the tube
sits upon an elevated plinth. The tube is lifted from the plinth to reveal a
stack of three dice, two yellow and one red. The dice are freely shown to
the audience. The lid is removed and the tube is held horizontally, a die is
inserted into the top of the tube showing that there is just enough
clearance for the die to pass through. The tube is tipped upright

 (vertically) and the tube freely slides through and falls from the opposite
end of the tube.

The tube is placed back on to its plinth and one by one the dice are
dropped inside. The red first followed by the two yellow. The lid is placed
on to the top of the tube and the magician makes a magical gesture over
the tube. When the tube is lifted away, the red die has magically risen and
is now between the two yellow dice! The dice are lifted from the plinth and
are cleanly displayed.
Includes: Printed Instructions.
