Ah, dice stacking. The popular pastime of stacking dice in a cup... Wait, what? You've never heard of it?
Dice stacking is the art of using a cup to stack dice. There is no trick, but a scientific principle, inertia. The dice are first picked up by the cup, and because of the motion of the cup resist movement like a bucket of water swung around. As a result, the dice stack inside the cup and slide around as if they were a single mass.

it's hard to catch all the dice together
Those are really difficult to do, especially with regular dice. I'll try to make a tutorial on it. I plan on updating this instructable soon.
Regardless, what you need to do for point stacks is essentially the same motion you do with the cup except in mid-air. The hard part is Keeping it straight. Just a warning - it takes a LOT of practice.
For downstacks, you turn on the top of the dice. Its similar to picking up a dice off a table touching nothing except the top half of the dice. This is also very difficult.
This is easier with heavier dice, but it is VERY difficult with regular dice. All I can recommend is lots of practice.
Good luck!
