The Blurb

Dice Mysteries is a study into the world of dice, aimed at the mystery performer.

A hardbound, dust-jacket covered book – it runs at over 580 pages !

It initially delves into its journey from the shaman to the layman, then through history into its roles in society, religion and science, including various cultural and indigenous perspectives. Many types of dice are reviewed, alongside their varied uses, from reading systems to gambling and cheating plus performance applications and routines.

Steve Drury’s own ideas are included throughout, plus there are varied supporting contributions from: Les Cross, Richard Webster, Stephen Ball, David Berglas, Lior Manor, Mark Chandaue, Richard Osterlind, Ronald J. Dayton, Pablo Amira, Docc Hilford, T.C.Tahoe, Seamus Maguire, Dale Hildebrandt, Danny Proctor, Kenton Knepper, Craig Conley, Steve Cook, Scott St Clair, Neal Scryer, Jackie McClements, Cara Hamilton, Vito Gattullo and Sudo.

Jheff's Guide

WHAT IT IS:
Hardcover Book, 500+ pages

HOW ACCURATE OR COMPLETE THE BLURB IS:
It’s accurate, though it doesn’t give a complete breakdown of the table of contents.

JHEFF’S JUDGMENT:
Steve Drury has done it again and created a huge, impressive 500+ page tome covering one topic – this time, dice (and items similar to dice, such as the classic Mental Logs or Color Vision). Like the other highly recommended volumes in this series, this one brings together classic routines and ideas with dice alongside newer ideas from more contemporary performers. Definitely worth a spot on your bookshelf.
