Designs by Magic









The Magic Shop offers a wide range of original dice, some geometrical jewelry and a few strange objects.

The dice are from different families like the Average Dice where you must sum the numbers appearing on the top face, the Truncated Sphere Dice, intersection of a polyhedron with a sphere and some other original creations.

The jewelry includes Double Marble Pendant, Dod Earrings and Dod Pendants, Reversible Bracelets as well as some unusual rings.
Finally, some objects are difficult to classify, for example the Hexbox, the Cup Holder or the MegaWireSphere.

Truncated Sphere D11 with 3-fold symmetry.

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. Nonetheless, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) is very different from the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 11 points repulsing each others.

Actually, I calculated the positions of 11 points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere with the following constraints:
- 2 poles (upper and lower face - parallel to the horizontal plane)
- 3 points around each pole
- 3 remaining points corresponding to 3 faces perpendicular to the horizontal plane

The result is a truncated sphere with 11 circular faces of same radius.

It is numbered from 1 to 11: 2 numbers are on faces (poles), 6 between vertices and face and  3 on edges. The sum of the numbers on the 3 upper vertices surronding the North pole is 18.  Same thing for the sum of the 3 numbers on the lower vertices surronding the South pole and the sum of the 3 numbers on the edges of the equator.

This die is made of a shell of 1.5mm that contains support material to make it heavier. The engraved numbers have a 0.75 mm depth. They are quite big since they overlap the surrounding faces and thus should be very easy to read.

See this thread for more informations.

Available Truncated Sphere Dice: D4, D6, D8, D9, D10, D%, D11, D12, D14, D15, D16, D17, D18, D20, D24, D32, D33

D13 Sphere

This is a Truncated Sphere D13. It has a 4-fold symmetry.

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. But in this case, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) does not exactly look like the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 13 points repulsing each others.
Instead, I calculated the positions of those points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere. The result is a truncated sphere with 13 circular faces of same radius.

See this thread for more informations.

Truncated Sphere D15.

This die is inspired by the repulsive force polyhedra although in this case, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) is very different from the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 15 points repulsing each others.
Actually, I calculated the positions of points (5 at each tropic, 5 at equator, none at the pole) to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere. The result is a truncated sphere with 15 circular faces of same radius.

It is numbered from 1 to 15: all numbers are on edges.
The sum of the numbers on each tropic is 40 and the same applies to the equator.
Except for 8, all the numbers go by pair summing to 16: on the tropic two numbers symmetric relatively to the plane of the equator sum to16 and on the equator circle itself two numbers symmetric relatively to number 8 sum to 16. 

This die is made of a shell of 1.5 mm that contains support material to make it heavier. The engraved numbers have a 0.75 mm depth.

D18 Sphere

This is a Truncated Sphere D18.

The numbering has been done very carefully. Of course, numbers on opposite faces sum to 19. This leads to the fact that the 8 numbers around any of the 3 diameters sum to 76. But the dificulty has been the have the 6 numbers surrounding a spherical zone to sum to 57. It works for all the 8 zones (for instance, in the rendering - the brown one - you can see: 18 + 3 + 13 +11 + 7 + 5 = 57).

See this thread for more informations.

Truncated Sphere D32, regular edition.
Based on an idea from Orangery.

The underlying polyhedron is a non-uniform icosidodecahedron (a kind of polyhedral soccer ball).

The distance between two faces is 30mm. The thickness is 1.5mm but it is full of support material to keep it heavy.

It is numbered from 1 to 32 with the difference between two numbers on opposite faces being always 16.
If you take the sum of a face surrounded by 5 neighbours (there are twelve of them, that corespond to pentagons on the underlying polyhedron i.e. before the intersection with a sphere) and its 5 surrounding faces you will always obtain 99.

Truncated Sphere D33

This is the Regular Edition of the 33-sided die specially designed to be the 33333rd entry of Kevin Cook's dice collection.

It is a big die (diameter is more than 30 mm). The thickness 1.5 mm and the depth of the numbers 0.75 mm.
There is still support material inside so it is also quite heavy...

The numbering has been carefully studied.
All numbers are by groups of 3 that sum to 51:
 - the 3 numbers at the North and South pole
 - the 9 numbers at the equator and at the 2 tropic taken 3 by 3 (any 3 numbers at 120°)
All numbers sum to 34 by group of 2 (except obviously 17, since only 17 itself can sum to 17 to give 34):
 - all the numbers of the poles and of the tropics with their symmetric number relatively to the equator
 - all the numbers of the equator (except 17) with their symmetic number relatively at number 17

Alternative D24 Sphere

This is a Truncated Sphere D24.

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. In fact, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) looks like the two shapes that can be obtained through this technique with 24 points repulsing each others (two Pentagonal Icositetrahedra).
Actually, I calculated the positions of those points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere. The result is a truncated sphere with 24 circular faces of same radius.

D50 Sphere

This is a Truncated Sphere D50 based on a special polyhedron that is the intersection of a cube (6 squares), an octahedron (8 hexagons with a 3-fold symmetry), a rhombic dodecahdron (12 hexagons with a 2-fold symmetry) and a non-usual icositetrahedron (24 hexagons with a simple symmetry). You can check: 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 50.

 - the 3 numbers at the North and South pole
 - the 9 numbers at the equator and at the 2 tropic taken 3 by 3 (any 3 numbers at 120°)
All numbers sum to 34 by group of 2 (except obviously 17, since only 17 itself can sum to 17 to give 34):
 - all the numbers of the poles and of the tropics with their symmetric number relatively to the equator

Truncated Sphere D9.

This is my own interpretation of the D9. Please check also clsn's version.

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. In fact, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) looks like the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 9 points repulsing each others.
But in this case, I calculated the positions of those points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere. The result is a truncated sphere with 9 circular faces of same radius.
It is numbered from 1 to 9: 6 numbers are on vertices, 3 on edges, none on the faces. The sum of the numbers on the upper vertices is 15. Same thing for the sum of the 3 numbers on the lower vertices and the sum of the 3 numbers on the edges. This numbering is closely linked to the well known 3x3 magic square.

This die is made of a shell of 1.5mm that contains support material to make it heavier. The engraved numbers have a 0.75 mm depth. This new version has big numbers that should be easy to read.

Truncated Sphere D17 with a 5-fold symmetry

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. In fact, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) is very similar to the shape that can be obtained through this technique with 17 points repulsing each others.

Actually, I calculated the positions of 17 points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere with the following constraints:
- 1 point per pole (upper and lower face - parallel to the horizontal plane)
- 5 points around each pole
- 5 remaining points corresponding to 5 faces perpendicular to the horizontal plane

The result is a truncated sphere with 17 circular faces of same radius.

For the numbering, as usual:
 - the sum of the 5 numbers of the two tropics and of the equator is constant (and equals to 51)
 - the sum of the 2 poles, of two numbers of the tropics that are symmetric relatively to the equator, of two numbers of the equator that are symmetric relatively to number 9 is constant (and equals to 18)
