My wife bought Cubebuster for my birthday. I wanted to use Henry’s RD 360 with his Perfect Water Glass. However, I am so glad that I have Cubebuster instead of RD 360. With Cubebuster you can end with a special reveal on the cube if you want to. It is not stressed in the video, but you could just end your performance with a perfectly solved cube by setting up all six sides of the special cube with a normal colour pattern. In some situations, that would be preferable. However, I like Henry’s taught routine that ends with a card revelation. A card is selected from a deck. The giant cube is mixed by the spectator and the magician demonstrates his skill in solving the impossible cube in ten seconds, in one hand and blindfolded. Having succeeded, a little more mixing of the cube results in the manipulation of an image of the card onto two faces of the cube. The novelty of having a large 7 x 7 cube creates interest as well as making the solve more remarkable. On the internet I read that the number of possible permutations of a 7 x 7 cube [19.5 duoquinquagintillion] outnumbers the known number of particles in the universe. It would be well worth memorizing the name of that interesting fact.I found that the large, square transparent stickers provided to help transfer whole sheets of stickers to the ‘special cube’ did not always detach the coloured stickers from their sheet very easily. However, with perseverance, I was able to set things up as I wanted them in less than an hour. If you hate arts and crafts, maybe you could find help from a fellow magician at your local magic club who loves that sort of thing. You get plenty of extra sticker sheets so that you can change the special reveal as many times as you like. Extra stickers are available from the Henry Harrius Presents website. I was disappointed not to receive an RD bag. The video gave the impression that one was included. They appear to be out of stock in most UK magic shops but I think I found an alternative on Amazon. I think that the price of Cubebuster has been set to be in line with Henry’s other major cube products. For me, that means it was a very special treat.
My wife bought the Enigma Stick for me as part of a recent birthday present. As always with TCC you get beautifully made props and a clear, thorough video explanation. The stick and shackle are made from a lovely dark wood with a polished finish. The ‘something extra’ that is provided to make the trick work was a little disappointing. Maybe an element deteriorated after long transit and storage time. I had something in my DIY drawer that worked perfectly, so I wasn’t bothered. You would need to buy refills quite soon anyway and various, recommended options are readily and cheaply available on Amazon. The video for Enigma Stick is 40 minutes long but you learn how to do the main routine in the first 20 minutes. It is worth watching the whole video because there are little subtleties and additional ideas that you will pick up. This is a useful, pocket size miracle. It might seem more like a puzzle, but spectator’s can be quite startled by it. Because there is nothing to see on the wooden pieces, they can immediately handed be to the spectator for examination. They will not be able to do what you have just done and you can take the pieces straight back and perform the trick again. I think the key to getting the most out of this EDC is having a good story. Houdini escaping from shackles is a possibility mentioned in the video, but you might want to make the patter fit with your own style whether you want to come across as skilled, wizardy or spooky. My recommendation: give it a try. If you don’t get on with it, give it to a budding junior magician who will probably love it.
A trick, the more practice the better you get, it's all in the performance and handling, effect is very good, but as a hobbyist it's a bit harder than some tricks because it needs more performance, I managed to break the gimmick using it to much and probably being clumsy,it is fixable though. If you can get it right, it's a great trick, enjoyed working on this
I don't often leave reviews and am very critical of magic tricks as let's face it - they are tricks - so too often people work out whats happened but not this one. This "trick" is the REAL DEAL (excuse the pun) and is close to "real" magic that you can get! It works EXACTLY how it looks, is super simple (has to be for me to use it) and offers lots of possibilities eg the sticker doesn't have to be on card in the box (which is easy to setup) The sticker could be placed eg on the bottom of a dinner plate, cup, on the recipients clothes, inside or outside a purse or wallet, bottom of your shoe ! so many possibilities. This trick is awesome, and comes in at No 2 in my all time top 100 magic tricks. Trust me, just get it, its really brilliant.
I have both versions and both are workers. The perfect paper to money effect
This is such a great little trick the reactions it gets is anything from gob smacked. To utter amazement... I can thoroughly recommend this 100% the video instructions are excellent... Thanks Alex for the speedy delivery.... Top Man
The forcing dice cup can be used for numerous ideas Mentalism , Card Tricks , even used it as a cup n ball routine etc.. this device gets my 100% seal of approval. Thank you goes to Alex for getting this out to me so quickly....
Delighted with this peek wallet, a great addition to my peek wallet arsenal. A minimal peek wallet that more than lives up to its promise . Highly recommended.
I neglected to give this product 5 stars ( gave it one star in error) and write to say this product is wondeful and might i add is the service from Monstermagic, I received the product the next day and cannot praise the company enough , All my items purchased have been top quality .
In my opinion these chicks are superb , and work and described . I was amazed at the quality and am very pleased with the purchase ,
I really like how this product is made. It gives the air of authenticity and not just being a Magic prop. I'm not completely convinced that the premise holds up particularly in a Bar environment however one-to-one in a close-up environment. I think it can be made to work better. I would definitely recommend somebody to buy this if you're a performer.
Great stickers easy to peel off the egg but secure and best not applied flat but a couple of wrinkles to add to the effect. Great to have these in purple to match my branding and not be restricted to the usual red.
Delivery was excellent, the forcing cup is better than I expected, cup works perfectly with lots of dice, many routines can be done with this item, well pleased and would recommend forcing cup and Monster Magic.
This is extremely good bang for your buck. The coins included are worth the price alone. Over 3 hours of tutorials by D. Roth, back in the day these were released individually for double the price. Extremely happy with the purchase and as usual great service from Alex.
Another great release by Tenyo will surely become a classic collectible.
I bought this desk as an extra having this as a marked deck is very easy to read. It does not stop there, you can use this deck as a normal deck. So you can create routines that you would normally use with a normal bicycle deck as well as some mind reading etc... Its just down to your imagination .
Great product. Works every time. My repertoire doesn't actually include a trick with a number force at the moment but I'm already working on a few ideas. Make a great CAAN effect.
I’ve tried various holders in the past but this is just the absolute BEST! Keeps the pen safe and frees up pocket space, not more fishing around to find the pen and no more black putty on my clothing. LOVE THIS!
A brilliant well presented item with so many uses. Really pleased.
