@magicorthodoxy I'm coming at this from the opposite end of the spectrum: I started speed solving competitions with my son, learned how to solve the cube in about 45 seconds, and now I'm looking into how to do magic tricks with the cube. I'm glad you mentioned that the cube is a regular speedcube and a good chunk of the video is learning how to solve it- I already have those down. Not sure if the $35 would be worth it for me just to learn a couple of tricks on a plain cube, but I very much appreciate the review!
I had a Rubik's Cube back in the 80's but could never solve it. About a year or so ago, I was clearing out some old boxes and found it. I thought cube magic it hot right now, perhaps I should learn some and add it to my act. so far I still haven't gotten around to doing any cube magic, I'm having WAY too much fun with speed solves LOL
Cross, First two layers, Orientation of the last layer, Permutation of the last layer. It’s more commonly (slightly less accurately) called the Friedrich method.
I started my cube magic journey with this. His teaching on the normal solve is easy to understand. Took me a few months of practice to get down to 1min, and I've been stuck on around 50 secs now. I suppose you need to learn the F2L method to progress to better times... Though I don't own anything like Rubik's Dream, I do use a set of cards called 'Cube Cards' by Kev G. It's a matching effect, a 'speed solve' effect with a cool 'card trick' style kicker. You should take a look. It's good for close up, as you only need 1 cube and the set of cards...
Hey David I’m ready to purchase this, however I do have a question. You mentioned the magic store/site you go through provided you instant access to the tutorial vids. I’m a speed cuber and too would like to jump into the teachings after purchase. I go thru Penguin’s site, is that the site you went through, if so great, if not would you mind sharing what sight so I can start learning today, thanks!
I like your review. I got one as a gift and this is like a real Rubik cube and I agree with your comments, the audio was lousy. The paper bag trick was a plus.
What a good review! As usual. I bought this a little while ago but I'm terrified to start mixing it up. I have an old cube that is really mixed up and I guess I'll start practicing on that. Or just buy another speed cube on line.
If you want to get a speed cube online, I would recommend thecubicle.us. It is a website FULL of high quality cubes and you can even find AMAZING cubes for $20 or less
Great review I have this and completely agree with what you said. I think Cube3 is the ultimate ungimmicked cube set so I believe your review is 100% correct. Good job
@magicorthodoxy I am a speedcuber and if you want a decent speedcube that doesn't lock up a ton and is really good quality, I would highly recommend the Moyu Aulong GT or the GANS 356 air s. But if you want a cube that is garenteed amazing speed, easy tensioning, and is going to last a lifetime and will not pop out break on you, then I would recommend the GANS 356 air SM (which is the same as the last one except it has magnets in it). The only downside is that it is $50.00. But if you want to experiment and find a good website for great speedcubes, I would recommend thecubicle.us
@@SpeedCubeProRL My son has a Gans Air (not the 360), we're also using the Moyang Aolong V2 (which I really like). I wasn't a huge fan of the Gans air, but I haven't tried the magnetic ones yet.
@@JeffHendricks yeah, lately, I've been a fan of the yuxin little magic M. It's cheap, but in my opinion, it is better than the Gan 356 X in some ways.
You better have a good memory cause you're going to have to remember a lot of moves. And you better Have good coordination with your hands and fingers. Not easy at all, I suspect some people will have a hard time with it and it's probably going in the drawer. I have it.
Either way...I've been on the fence about buying it since it was released. Decided to finally bite due to your review. Seldom do I buy anything magic related these days without seeing if you've done a review on it. Keep up the stellar work! Loved the one you did with Ekaterina. Would be awesome to see you do more collaboration vids. Cheers

Where are you learning speeds solves
magicorthodoxy I use CFOP, I pieced it together from TH-cam videos, forum posts, and a few download pdfs. It's great fun ;^>
CFOP?

Yes it does
I love this guy and his reviews.
awwww my wife loves me 2
magicorthodoxy lol. I see what you did there
Hahahhaa "expert at the cube table" nc 1 there
Hey David, can you please tell me if the ' matching mixed up cube ' effect is taught or not ?
This is what you learn: www.penguinmagic.com/p/5985
Is the cube quality like Rubik's brand or Valk/Moyu... ?

:D
I already have a cube, two actually, is there a way to get it without the cube, like just the videos?
What a good review! As usual. I bought this a little while ago but I'm terrified to start mixing it up. I have an old cube that is really mixed up and I guess I'll start practicing on that. Or just buy another speed cube on line.
it''s so easy - don;t worry about it

Thanks Brian, indeed cubicle looks like a great site. Unfortunately shipping to Canada always kills any good deals.
Great review! I think I'm gonna buy it, but I can already fix the Rubik cube so the first hour would not be important to me. Shoul I buy it anyway?
it's great !!!
David what one would you use this or cube cards by kev g also have this but just wondering if I can use both or is one better in your honest opinion
Great review I have this and completely agree with what you said. I think Cube3 is the ultimate ungimmicked cube set so I believe your review is 100% correct. Good job
Thanks Bob
It's alright love your video's

Jason Irelan yes, exactly what I think, even thou you do need to obviously practice a bit...

Great comment - be sure to give us suggestions on TODAY's video - that is just the kind of help I want !!!!
magicorthodoxy thanks. Yeah I can actually solve a Rubik's cube on average of 20-25 seconds

It's a great product. But the advance cheat sheet is very confusing 😜😸
oh is it?
@@magicorthodoxy yes. But overall, i manage to figure it out myself. But some still confused 😂
So best rubik dvd for beginners! Its great. Great review as well
:D
Greetings from Hungary!:-)
Greeting received from USA
there are enough videos on youtube that show how to solve the rubiks cube in about a minute where you don´t have to pay for
true, but a lot of them arn't good - and this one also includes tips on care, magic tricks AND you get a decent speed cube to start
and now I want one🤔
well, ok
You better have a good memory cause you're going to have to remember a lot of moves. And you better Have good coordination with your hands and fingers. Not easy at all, I suspect some people will have a hard time with it and it's probably going in the drawer. I have it.
yes, you need to do your homework and study - rubik's cube magic is not self working
Isn't it Cube Cubed?
Nope, I asked Mr Brundage personally
Either way...I've been on the fence about buying it since it was released. Decided to finally bite due to your review. Seldom do I buy anything magic related these days without seeing if you've done a review on it. Keep up the stellar work! Loved the one you did with Ekaterina. Would be awesome to see you do more collaboration vids. Cheers
still by far the best rubik magic product.
Steven started all this rubiks craze all by himself
those products came after this were mostly trash imo
I think Steven brought the attention to the art form, but lots of people were doing it before him - Takamiz Usui for one
Who all are cubers here
Noice
:D
You can do this with any Rubik's cube, so there's no need for the cube included.
can u send me a deck
only if you win one in my monthly contests
I can solve the cube in 1 min.
WOW
Actually, he doesn't teach the millisecond solve, he only demonstrates it on camera.
but if you watch it in s l o w m o t i o n you can figure it out LOL
Yeah, that's true, I figured it out when he performed on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
AWESOME !!!
