Cube 3 by Steven Brundage is an amazing trick.

I considered finishing this review right there, because there honestly isn’t much more to it than that, but I feel I owe it to Steven to explain why this trick is so amazing.

For me, what makes Cube 3 the best Rubik’s Cube magic trick is the fact that it does not require any ‘fake’ or gimmicked cube; this trick can be done with most good Rubik’s Cube’s, and can also be handed out for inspection afterward!

In this Cube 3 review I’ll be talking about what this trick is, how difficult it is, and the absolutely CRAZY reactions you can get from it!

What is Cube 3?

Cube 3 by Steven Brundage is a collection of magic tricks you can perform using only a Rubik’s Cube.

Within these effects you can learn things like having a mixed up cube solve itself magically as you throw it in the air, using pure sleight of hand.

The good news is that although there is a lot to learn, once you’ve learnt all the moves, it is a fairly simple process to master them until you can perform (literally) blindfolded. Also included within this product is a highly in depth tutorial of how to solve a Rubik’s Cube.

The product is split into two instructional DVDs, one that teaches you how to solve a cube, and the other that teaches you how to perform all the effects. It also comes with a very high quality Rubik’s Cube.

Realistically, how long is it going to take me to learn these tricks?

If I’m completely honest with you, I still don’t fully know how to do all the tricks covered in Cube 3 by Steven Brundage.

The biggest reason for this is because I found the tricks that fit my style the best, and learnt those ones to a high level. Don’t be afraid to do the same thing!

If there are three tricks that you really like the look of, but two that you aren’t so keen on learning, don’t feel obliged to learn them all just because they are there! It would be much better to learn less, but to a higher level.

That being said, even if you choose to just focus on a couple of tricks first, it will still take a couple of weeks of practice, once you have the initial method down, in order to be good enough to show them off to other people.

It took me a couple of weeks to get confident enough to show my family, a month or so to try it out on my friends, and around a year before I took it to the stage and performed it in front of 800 people.

But boy did it get a great reaction! I’ll never forget that show; my first time performing for such a large audience. It was just me and my cousin at a talent show. He was doing ‘lie detector’, and I was doing Cube 3. The audience loved ‘lie detector’ and naturally that made me even more nervous to follow him up.

I had the presenter of the show come up on stage, and asked if I could use their bag. After they had given me their bag, I showed the audience a mixed up Rubik’s Cube, and demonstrated that not only was the bag completely empty, but that the cube was also completely normal.

I then dropped the cube into the bag, and closed the bag tight, handing it back to the presenter. I asked him to shake it up a bit, and imagine that he was solving the cube in his mind. Once he was finished ‘solving’ the cube, I told him to open up the bag.

This was the most nerve-racking experience of my life; had I done it right? What would happen if the cube came out still mixed up? How would I react?

Then he pulled out a fully solved Rubik’s Cube from the bag, and the audience erupted. This picture was taken as it came out (white shirt is me).

That night was one of the greatest of my life, and it all came down to Cube 3. So would I recommend this product? Absolutely! Would I recommend you spend a lot of time practicing before you use it? Even more absolutely!

This example also shows how great this trick is for stage magic illusions due to the visual nature of the magic.

Where can I buy this product?

Luckily for you, this trick is available on Amazon, but it can also be found on Penguin Magic (although overseas shipping costs can be fairly high), and a lot of other magic merchants.

It prices at around £30 on average, which I think is more than fair for the quality you are receiving!

Are there any drawbacks to this product?

The main drawback to this product is that you’re going to have to learn how to solve a Rubik’s Cube before you can do the effects with confidence (you can theoretically do them without knowing how to solve a cube, but it will be extremely helpful to know), but Steven really goes into detail and breaks the process down to very manageable and simple steps.

If you invest time into this trick, you’re going to see results. If you don’t see yourself being able to put a few hours in to learning it, I wouldn’t bother buying it. If you want something that you can amaze people with straightaway, I recommend you check out my Invisible Deck review.

Final say

If you have the money and the time to invest into Cube 3, than this is going to be one of the most worthwhile purchases you make. Rubik’s Cubes are so recognizable and popular than it can be a great way to introduce your magic to people; chances are that you’ll come across a few lying around at people’s houses. If you feel uncomfortable busting out a pack of cards on someone right now, it can be useful to have magic that you can do with common objects, and then progress to cards or whatever else you might use.
