The thing is if you follow his advice and hold it a bit under the table (in your pocket) as opposed to in contact, you probably wouldn't get that grouping problem

I laughed so hard when the 5 got cocked on the group of 6's three times and he just kept pushing through it. Canadians are the best deadpan comedians on the planet (save for my British ancestors).
Tired of reading new rulebooks... Just wanting to play.

call me paranoid... but something is off with the way those dice roll!
i have to admit i didn't think of people cheating that particular way. i'll have to keep that in mind if i see someone only rolling on their specially prepared surface that they brought from home (i.e. the magnetic strip laced display board with metal rod inserted dice.)

The Dorka guys are pretty fun, and funny. And they usually run good events. I heard that the "I wish I was at Adepticon" RT on Saturday was cool.

So im now taking a magnet with me to tournaments, and using it flip-side to anyone who does this
could be a good chuckle when they start rolling a ton of 1's.

I wouldn't be so sure. While I agree this appears to be a joke there are a number of techniques that could be sed to get the odd behavior with how the dice roll to be unnoticed. Number 1: Don't weight them all to sixes, 5's generally do just as well. #2. Use the dice enmass and only eight about 1/5 to 1/3 of them. When rolling 20 dice having 4-6 of them as guarenteed successes scues the result set significantly. When rolling 20 dice the odd behavior of a couple of them will not be as easily noticed. #3. Hold the big magnet farther away. #4. Don;t role the loaded dice every time. Real cheaters only need to increase their odds a little bit to make it effective.
Someone who is practiced at this can get away with this pretty easily with someone who is not looking for it. The end of the day you either need to bucket test the dice or bring a large magnet of your own and run it over his dice when he isn't looking. Frankly, I don't care that much but it might be worth it for large tournaments with large prizes to have judges go around and check quietly.
