Do not store up treasures on earth
In idea 251. Zacchaeus finds real treasure I explain the routine of the Magic Dice Box. I sometimes use it to teach on the words of Jesus:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal." Matthew 6:19, 20
In the video below I will show you how you can combine this trick with teaching on these words of Jesus...
The trick has a strange name: the Sucker Dice Box. You can buy it here. When you buy the trick, you get a dice. I have covered the dice with 'gold coins' paper so that it doesn't look like a dice anymore, but like a solid block of gold coins.
You can use it as a Gospel Magic trick for the following stories:
251. Zacchaeus finds real treasure
252. The prodigal son loses everything
253. Jesus talking about collecting treasures on earth
254. The three wise men (the Magi) buying their presents for Jesus
Themes:
