"As the originator of the one hand quick solve, Takamiz Usui is the most influential creator in the field of Rubik's Cube Magic. His 'The Cube' DVD is required viewing for anyone seriously interested in performing cube magic." - Karl Hein

"I have seen Takamiz Usui perform his amazing Rubik’s Cube Act TWICE!
I thought I could catch if I saw it again… but he fooled me even more the second time around. I would love to learn how you do it! The best I’ve seen." - Paul Gertner

"Usui Takamiz inspired and changed the world of Cube Magic completely!" - Henry Harrius

"Coins, Cards, and now Cubes. The world of magic has expanded due to the ingenious methods and concepts of Takamitsu Usui." - Garret Thomas

"Takamiz Usui's work is absolutely astonishing in every possible respect. At The Magic Castle two years ago, I saw him blow away a group of magicians---magic's best and brightest---with his his Cube work. Since then, his work has continued to evolve in new and exciting directions. Don't miss this lecture under any conditions---it's going to be a must-see!" - Daniel Ulin

"The tipping point in cube magic was when Takamiz released his one hand technique and it spread like wildfire to become THE ungimmicked instant solve solution of choice." - Kev G

What will he teach?

Easy Vanish Spectator sees two cubes and chooses one. The other disapears.

Casual Bag Solve Just put the mixed up cube in a bag and it will be solved.

Circle cube
Mini cube
Flat cube
*These are variations on the figure change effect. There are two cubes. The one cube will transform.

Which is your dominant hand? The cube mixed by spectator will be solved.

Cube through the Table The spectator sign 2 cubes. One cube goes through the table.

Perfect Solve Cubes mixed by Magician and spectator will be solved.

Prediction The pattern of the Rubik’s cube mixed by the spectator is predicted.

1-1-6 One side solved, Another side solved, finally six sides solved.

One Color Cube Only the color imagined by the spectator will be solved in an unexpected form.

Who is he?

Takamiz is a magic creator in Japan. In 2013, he published the groundbreaking DVD, ‘The Cube”, in which the one hand solving technique (Takamiz Move) was shown for the first time in the history of Rubik’s Cube magic along with a number of effects applying this move. Takamiz can be attributed to the current trend of using the Rubik's cube within the magic community as many new releases are based on the (Takamiz Move) technique. Takamiz continued to push Rubik's cube magic forward by publishing the DVD, “The Cube Plus”, in which ‘any chosen color effects’ were described. He had a standing ovation at the 4F Convention in 2016 and 2017, whose world class performers are "invitation only".

I like so many other modern magicians love the cube.
Takmiz is a pioneer in this field. I have been fortunate enough to see him live and his passion and brilliance shines through. The lecture had a lot of gold in it. I have come out of it with a lot of new idears and thoughts it’s brilliant.

The language barrier was touth at times but everything was explained well.

I really love the end chat but felt sorry for him as it transpires cube 3 was a rip of this brilliant mans work. To the point Murthys don’t sell the original dvd any more as they want sales from stolen work shame on them. That really upset me if you have cube 3 you should support Tamiz Dan him self says it I agree.

If your interested in cube work new or a beginner you will get something from it.

Please support the original as Dan say this really is something that was ground breaking if you do any instant solve tecninqe then you have him to thank.

AMAZING MAGIC WITH A CUBE! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 14th, 2017
I'm so glad that Penguin decided to get Takamiz to do a lecture on cube magic being the originator of the one hand technique and inspiring so many cube effects and performances.

Firstly if you don't own "The Cube" which was released in 2013 and details his one hand technique then this is covered in detail including some effects in the first hour or so (This is so versatile and can be used for so many different effects). Takamiz has a translator and Dan Harlan chips in every now and then so this is easy to follow (This is the technique Steven Brundage used on his viral video of being pulled over by the cops....he subsequently went on to release Cube3 which is based on Takamitsu's technique) albeit the crediting/permission was somewhat lacking IMO.

The figure change (Shape Change) is a really surprising effect for the spectator as they have examined everything - this is brilliant thinking and can be used for any object really.

Your dominant hand is again another neat effect which really requires you to be seated, so not so much a close up effect, but again it shows how versatile his technique is where the spectator solves the cube.

Cube through table is a great effect which is enhanced by the fact the spectator signs both cubes which makes this super strong and impossible!

I really love one color cube - so strong and powerful!

This lecture has my highest recommendation, anyone serious about cube magic needs to see this - it's so inspiring and will get you thinking about your cube act!

Highly Recommended if you love Rubik's Cube Magic! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 10th, 2020
Takamiz has some amazing effects with a non-gimmicked cube. I love his one handed technique to mix and solve the cube since it is the same exact algorithm that is used to do both. There is a bit of a language barrier but don't let that stop you. His "Prediction" effect is amazing and worth more than the price of the download. Enjoy!

Prediction routine alone is worth the entire price Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 8th, 2023
Discovered the original after coming through Cube 3.
The base mixup taught here is the superior one that I've since used as a basis.
Many different ideas are intermixed here, but the real gold nugget is the prediction routine featured in the trailer that ends with a triple simultaneous solve, including in a bag.
I still cannot perform it at the full level that Takamiz does, but I re-scripted a slightly simplified version that allows for the big payoffs (still required weeks-months of practice to get fast enough at solving a Rubik's cube in a live performance).

Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 29th, 2020
This video was so helpful and easy to follow, took about 4 days to slowly watch and pause then work on each excercise then go back into the video.
The parts the were a bit hard to understand is when Dan step's in a really gives a good explanation and really pulls this video together!
I really enjoyed this and being my first Penguin LIVE purchase I am Now hooked and will always trust Penguin Magic for quality content
Thank you

Must have if you're on RC Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 20th, 2019
I know I'm late! I should had have this before anything else I have now. This is the starting point. Language barrier is not a problem, thanks to interpreter, Dann and Mr Takamiz carisma.
Don't think twice, you'll regret the delay.
Once I process this one, I'll go for the second session.
