Nice trick! I would have said that the dice and the cup were both rigged, but I did a little research and it appears that a good portion of the trick has to do with physics.

Here's one reply I read:
Quote
It's nothing but pure physics (Momentum). It's all to do with the angle the cup's at. As he slides the cup over one of the dice, the cup is at such an angle that the dice slides halfway up the side of the cup.

Before the dice comes back down again, he's slid the cup over the second dice, which ends up underneath the first. Both of them then slide back up the side of the cup, and before they have a chance to come back down, he's slid the cup over the third.

When he finishes off, he makes sure to finish off with a smooth motion rather than a sponge bob. This is so that the dice are aligned against the side before he takes the cup off.

Nothing but physics. Smiley

If what he says is true, it's very interesting. I still wonder how he was able to stack such a large column of dice, however. It seems as if he's not even holding the dice in place. They appear to be floating.

Indeed it's could be physics as it was my first thought but later I've spot strange motion he's doing with hand or maybe it's just my imagination.
Anyway it's cool trick!
