After purchasing Stephen Brundages Cube3 I have scoured the Internet and penguin magic looking for any and all tips/tricks and trivia for cube magic...

When I came across this booklet on penguin I was ECSTATIC... I read the one review and purchased it on the spot. (I've been wanting a "show-closer" piece of cube magic and have been searching for ingenious ways to do the "Millisecond solve" or match a spectator mixed cube ect ect.)

This Booklet was extremely Disappointing... Idk how much I can say here without giving up the secret and I don't intend to just hate on the creator either but the methods taught in this book (with the exception of the last trick) in my opinion can barely be called methods. The way he matches two cubes is the exact way you would think it would be done, and he basically says hope the spectator doesn't catch it.

It seemed to me they're were a lot of words but not many actual tips or helpful advice.

The toss up trick which he claims has a 90% hit rate in the trick description has (By his own admission!) a 50% hit rate in reality and NO room for failure (as ridiculous as that sounds).

And the last trick which I was VERY HAPPY to learn (because it's one of my favorites to watch and I never learned how it works) isn't even a RUBIKS cube trick... It's just a mentalism trick and the word rubik just happens to be in it... Might as well have said MAGIC it wouldn't have made a difference.

So although I was happy with that last trick I bought this booklet to learn some CUBE magic and I felt I came away with nothing... :(

A great method to the millisecond solve can be found on YouTube on a video trying to reveal Steven's stuff. While I don't condone giving secrets away on YouTube or other this trick in particular is not told or explained but SHOWN and you have to do the work to jot down the algorithm
, use it, learn it and repeat. I don't recommend doing this without having it down pat. Nothing visually tells you that this is setup right or else you risk flashes.

If it was possible for me to, I could just send you the algorithm. You'd still have to, either, know what you're doing or figure it out and apply it.

Just saw the date on this. You may have this figured out and added to your act by now.
