How this is possible?

Quite simplre, really...
The trick is in the way he positions the dice.

When he makes the 6-5-4-3-2-1 become 1-2-3-4-5-6, for example.
All he had to do was make the dice rotate twice so that their opposite sides would be showing.
6 is on the opposite side as 1, 5 is across from 2, and so on.

The reason he didn't let you see the placing of the dice for the 1-1-1-1-1 trick was that he placed them all at 3.
That way, all he had to do was rotate them once to make them become 1s.

And for turning 1-1-1-1-1 becoming 6-6-6-6-6, notice he again shook the box forward twice.
That simply made the dice rotate to their opposite sides again.

As for that first trick, where 2-1-1-5-4-2 became 6-5-4-3-2-1, it's not as impressive as it looked.
Notice how carefully he placed those first dice.
He was lining up the numbers on the tops of the dice, rather than the ones facing us.
That way, all he had to do was give one flick-rotation, and the dice would appear to magically be in order.

So yeah...
It's all a matter of learning how to flick the box right so that the dice end up rotating together.

- Correction...
  First off, I spelled "simple" wrong. My apologies.
  
  Secondly, his all-to-1 trick had 3-3-2-3-3, not 3-3-3-3-3.
  Even so, on the tops of the dice, he had all 1s.
  All that was needed, therefore, was one rotation to make them all become 1s.
  
  Thirdly, it's a cool trick anyway.

- yes
  how is it possible? Is there a rotating piece?
  By <2 1165950596 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~2702636~~
- Not impossible...
  It just takes a certain amount of practice to make all the dice flip at the same time.
  Also, having the right size of box probably helps.
  Trust me... it's possible.

the box
lol my friend has one of those boxes and the box has a ridge at the end of it so u just turn it 90 degrees and turn it back and the ridge will rotate it. u dun even need to practice the trick.

look closely!!!
he manages the trick because he has another box(es) of dice already prepared. Towards the end of the clip you can see, for a brief moment, that there are two boxes in his or her left hand.

Why

O_O
how?
By roger_asdom 1165941222 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove ~~3647271~~
- I know! I know! (at least I think I do)
  The dice are normal dice, but the box is designed to turn the dice a quarter turn everytime he shakes it. Watch the vid again, when the dice are all sixes (and all the opposite sides would be ones -- standard dice layout), he shakes it twice and voila! all ones. Remember that opposite sides of dice add up to seven, so to change 1,2,3,4,5,6 to 6,5,4,3,2,1 would take just two shakes.
