    Dice Stacking is using a cup to swipe up a few dices such that when you put the cup down, the dices will be stacked. Heres a tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxOj4SKs1kw.

    From my experience its easier to do a sudden stop (Hard to explain X_X). Just make sure the entire circumference of the cup is touching the table. Stacking dices on another tower of dice is called point stacking (Stacking dices at a point), practice stacking dices on something with a small surface area first (I use a phone around 1/5 size of a Iphone (Samsung F480 if you want to know)).

    The easy part seems to be getting the die in the cup and stacking them. Nut then to actually stack them on top of each other is much harder O_o

    Any plastic cup will do though I prefer a cup specifically for dice-stacking. I heard cups for cups stacking works too (Some have no bottom though). It is easier to use dice with sharper edge, I bought mine at 4 for SGD$6 (Not casino dices those cost a hell lot more). Stacking dice on dice is helluva hard I can't even do it.

    Dice Stacking but in reality is something very simple you just need to get the hang of lowering the glass because the data automatically when you take the dices they stand up and really you can do with any and all dice as a sign but the casino dice are easiest to be kept standing Sorry if the translation was terrible I do not speak English And a video with me doing Dice Stack Click
