Way back in 1921, an ad appeared in the pages of Thayer's Magical Bulletin. It was for an enigmatic device known as Eli's Dice Box. Through the use of that mystical box, regulation dice could be controlled in ways that had not been seen before, allowing for some very impressive magical feats.

While the concept of what that box does has been around for over a century, the box itself has-been unavailable for several decades. There have been a couple of remakes over the years, but they were always short-lived and in limited supply. When one of these classic devices appears on the second-hand market, it fetches astronomical prices. These things are rarer than hen's teeth.

This is a genuinely unfortunate situation because the uses for this simple device are extremely interesting.

What is an Eli's Dice Box, anyway?

It's a small box that easily holds three or more dice. Toe box is shaken, and a variety of end results can occur.

Predictions can be made. Card tricks can be performed. Book Tests can easily be created. Toe list goes on.

It's an amazingly simple device. While not entirely so, it borders on being self-working in terms of what makes it go.

What can it do?

Here's just one possibility.

A box is introduced and shaken. It is heard that multiple objects are contained therein. The box is opened and reveals three dice. The top numbers are added together and written on a pad.

The dice are freely rolled on the table by a helper and the top three numbers are added together, that total being written on the pad as well.

The dice are then placed back into the box, which is vigorously shaken. It is opened, and the top three numbers are added together and recorded on the pad. All three of these randomly generated numbers are then added together.

It is then shown that the performer predicted that exact total ahead of time. Plus, literally everything is 100% examinable.

Well, I've been working on this fascinating device and trying to find a way to bring it back. It has taken a long time, but allow me to introduce you to ...

used solely as start watch for yacht racing: interface is good (lacks sync feature). Great value
on foredeck of a sailboat, lines and sails love to snag on stuff, especially wrist watches. Have had three torn from my wrist in 18 months. Two went overboard. I even tried to purchase super-strong spring-bars (pins that secure the band), but it was torn off again. PRO: great (intuitive, quick) interface for setting the countdown starting time, and option to repeat or count up. easy to read display CON: No sync feature: in countdown timer mode, would allow adjusting the running countdown to the nearest minute. Delay in switching modes: had left it in time-of-day mode and heard a starting signal, immediately switched to Timer mode and pressed start button, but it did not start the timer. On switching modes, it takes nearly a second for Timer mode to be operational, so need to wait until display comes on before trying to use it. Time-of-day is not visible in Timer Mode, if it was, previous issue would rarely occur. No Power down feature: my previous watch had an option to shut off the LCD display (and any audible alarms). Since I only use the watch about 100 hours (1%) of the year, this greatly extended the battery life. All that said, the dedicated sailing watches all cost two to ten times as much with the lower cost options having poor reviews on quality. For now, I'll buy these (Timex Ironman Essential 30) and just expect to loose one on average once a year.

Great watch - Nice large display!!
After my old Timex Ironman finally died after 21 years of reliable service (may it rest in peace after 4 replacement bands and 5 replacement batteries!!), I decided Timex deserved another sale from me! So I went surfing on the Timex website. So many Timex Ironman watches to choose from! But this one stood out for two reasons. 1) It has a nice simple design without a lot of "noise". 2) A nice large readable display. So I took the plunge! Indeed, Timex has definitely improved on their Ironman watches in the last 21 years. Most notably, the Indiglo light has greatly improved. It used to just light up the background. Now, it brightly lights up the actual digits which makes it undeniably readable without any eye strain. Another great improvement are in the set features. While the older models could only be set forward (in other words, if you went past your set point, you would need to go all the way around), this model lets you set forward and backward (so if you go too far, you can step back without going around). I don't understand one of the reviewers saying that the watch is too small. The face is quite large. The band may seem narrow in proportion to the watch face, but not excessively so. The band is 19mm wide and fits me just fine. Highly recommended!!

Like it so far after 2 weeks of swimming.
Like it so far after 2 weeks of swimming. Have been careful nio to press buttons underwater. I Like the large numerals, backlight, countdown timer, stopwatch and alarm. My last Timex 1440 lasted 10 years before the battery was low enough that the backlight was too weak to see at night. I replaced the battery on it but did not seal the o ring well enough with silicon grease so it leaked and quit working. I also had also replaced the band once.

Little Small On The Wrist
Really cool timepiece, been loving timex a lot recently, this is me coming over Casio/G-shocks. Although it is a bit smaller on the wrist it still looks very nice and I really love the gray and like green color contrast. Really easy to read the time as well.
