Original Specs
This routine is the closer of my formal close-up and parlor magic show. It is one of the strongest pieces of magic I ever came up with. It is a very magical, memorable, and practical routine.
The course is not a mere instruction manual, limited to explaining the mechanics of the routine. The course delves into the creation process, the magical theory, psychology involved, techniques development and decision making. In that sense is a course in magic with valuable information regardless of if you never perform a routine with this elemetn (let alone this partocular routine)

IMPORTANT NOTE
To perform the routine, you need to learn to solve the cube for real under a minute. That is not really hard to accomplish, but it will take you a few weeks to get the moves (you need to stablish a relationship with the cubes anyway if you want to perform this adequately). Probably the best place to learn how to do it for free is watching youtuber JPERM’s videos. I learnt by getting this book and using 2% of its content (you only need to learn a basic method memorizing less than 10 algorithms). I do provide some tips in the course but bear in mind you have to do this work on your own.
