Product description : This is interesting ! I've never seen any rubiks cube magic before and Murphys is putting out a project called « Cube3 » which is both a complete guide on how to solve a rubiks cube and also a wide range of routines to do with a standard rubiks cube (ungimmicked). Is this worth your attention and your money ? Let's find out !
Price and where to buy it : This is sold at $34.95 and you can get from any partner of Murphy's Magic !
What you get : You get a nice cardboard box, the size of a rubiks cube, with inside a regular cube which works very well, and is very smooth. In the old version (which I have), you got a usb key with all the files on it but now it seems that you get a link to watch and download the video online. The video is big ! You have 2 parts, one which tells you how to solve the cube and the other one which explains routines with the cube. I think you can't get better than that for the money, I'm very happy with it.
The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end.
THE CONS :
There is work ! First, if you want to be able to do the routine easily, you have to learn how to solve the cube (which is very easy if you follow the guide). This should take you no more than a few weeks to be confortable with it !
THE PROS :
The guide on how to solve the cube is very well done, crystal clear and you get to know and learn everything. It's not a crappy, badly filmed, youtube video.
The cube is ungimmicked, meaning you could borrow one (it would have to be smooth) but it also allows you to give it out for examination which is very cool.
The routines rely on a principle which I didn't know and you can do so much things with it ! From solving it behind your back, eyes closed, in a bag.. You're imagination is really the limit !
The cube is very nice and feels quality, mine stil work smoothly after more 5 months of use.
Steven is a great teacher, I loved learning with him.
Overall rating : If you want to do Rubiks Cube Magic, this is the way to go ! From amazing explanations to a good quality cube, this should be in your hands right now ! 4/4 hearts.
As for the difficulty level, if you've never done any rubiks cube before, maybe the first few days will be difficult but once you master the technique, you won't be able to leave your cube alone, 4/5 stars !
Similar products : Karl Hein put out a DVD some times ago about cube magic too. Maybe worth checking, I've not seen it.
Thanks to Murphys Magic for sending me this product.
