| Flash Dice With Calculator by Katsumi Hoshi
This is a unique presentation that may be used after performing FLASH DICE, using a calculator to perform the same effect. While some calculators may not contain the necessary function, most calculators available today may be used. First, secretly enter "123456" into your calculator, and press the "M+" key to save this number into memory. Next, enter "111111," followed by "xx," to set a constant calculation. Finally, press "0." The display will display only the number "0," and it will appear that the calculator is simply in its reset state. After performing FLASH DICE pick up the calculator, and state, "I can do the same thing with this calculator." Enter the digits 1 through 6 in any order (such as "361254"), as you randomly place the six dice into the case. As you take the calculator and shake it in your hand (or as you close its lid), secretly press the "RM" (recall memory) key. This will cause the display to read "123456" as you previously stored in the memory. Show your spectator that the dice have arranged themselves in perfect order.

Next, enter the number "654321" into the calculator, and explain that you will insert the dice into the case in the opposite order. Once again, shake the calculator, and secretly press the "RM" key again. The display will again read "123456." The order has completely reversed.
Finally, have your spectator name his favorite number from 1 to 6. If he says "three," press the "3" key, and the number 3 will appear on the display. Shake the calculator once, and secretly press the "=" key. This will cause the display to read "333333," thanks to the constant that we entered in the beginning. Then, show that all of the dice have also turned to all threes. The last phase of this trick may be repeated over and over again, using different numbers that your audience names.
