Magic Dice Math Trick

Magic Dice Trick – Math Meets Magic!

Learn a cool math magic trick with ordinary dice and share it with your friends and family! At first it looks like pure magic — predicting hidden faces or even the sum of a whole stack with just a glance. But the real secret is in the math.

This handout doesn’t just show you the trick — it helps you discover why it works. Step by step, you’ll notice how opposite sides of a die always add up to 7. From there, you’ll explore how to use this hidden rule to predict totals, amaze your audience, and turn math into a fun, guided exploration.

Download the worksheet to try the trick yourself, experiment with two or three dice, and uncover the math behind the magic!
