Looks like a new "mechanical solution" is in play here
I suspect reading the # can be done without touching
The Magic Wagon Luxury Version / Crystal Mental Die

The performer displays a beautiful wooden box along with an elegant looking die. While the performer’s back is turned, a spectator is invited to drop the die with their favorite number on top into the box and then securing its lid closed. The performer now turns around and without even touching or going near the box immediately reveals the selected number!
This is one of the very few props in mentalism that fits all of the following criteria. (1) The performer never needs to touch the box to make the divination. (2) The effect is entirely self-contained. (3) No electronics or gimmicks are used or involved.
What also sets this apart from other “Mental Die” effects is that it is a radically different method for divining a chosen number on a die. The engineering behind this effect is absolutely ingenious and hundreds of hours have gone into the development of this mechanical marvel! The wood & brass work mechanism involved inside is highly elaborate due to the consequence of the manufacturing processes which takes over 25 hours to create just one Ultimate Mental Die.
The box measures approximately 8.3cms wide, 13.2cms high and 8.3cms deep and has been completely handcrafted from natural aged teak wood with a lightly distressed oil finish. The die is also handcrafted from teak wood and is finely adorned with 21 brass screws.

The bottom of the box seems a bit thick- I wonder what it looks like inside when the spectator opens the box to insert the die?

I will probably go for this item, I have not a single die prediction effect.
So now I have the chance to have the Ultimate Version
No idea how it works. I hope not with m*****s

According to Mr. Madison Hagler, who makes the official demos for Magic Wagon and also helps them to write up the instructions, "the box can absolutely be casually examined before and after the effect." Also, the die itself is not gimmicked in any way (the ghost is in the box! ).

BTW, no magnets are used.
Simon, thanks for the information!
By the way, I wasn’t hinting on magnets, but on that other stuff …

Thanks Simon- sounds almost too good to be true! I am definitely intrigued- both that it can be casually examined and does not need to be touched or handled by the performer are both very nice attributes.
