I wish there were more reviews for this one, as the overall rating wouldn't do justice to this item,
when my 4 stars rating is calculated with a review by someone who clearly got a faulty item (that
might happen!) and didn't care to replace it, and another who rated it way too low based on the
limited functionality.
I was tempted to rate this 5 stars just so the overall rating would
be closer to the truth, but I decided to go with the exact rating I thought fit.
THIS ITEM
WORKS AND WORKS GREAT RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX.
The video is very clear as to how to use it,
and offers many ideas, of which you will adopt at least one right away.
The cons are that
the cubes are a bit large, and finding the secret opening may be a bit tricky (it's not as simple as
showed in the video, but with a bit jiggling works still).
The pros are many. There is a
way to use the item with almost no practice at all, and when used that way, the functionality of the
item may indeed be rather limited. However, with the necessary work (a little memorization that is
really not that hard) the outcome effect is superior to many other items, plus you're left with
nothing to hide (which is much better than in other similar items).
I recommend getting
the extra regular cube (offered here at Penguin Magic for 45$) but even without it, what you get
allows you to perform miracles, with almost no sleight of hand at all (the video offers A GREAT
method to accomplish that).
4.5 stars for an item that delivers, and allow you to receive
the information needed to read minds in an unseen super simple way.

I'm so sad to write this review as I love Bond Lee products.
Just like the title says,
this doesn't work. I've been messing with it for 2 hours and thanks to the terrible instructions on
the video, there is no way to trouble shoot this thing.
Bond Lee spends about 5 minutes on
how to set it up. The buttons aren't even labeled so you can't tell if its on or off, which doesn't
matter because no matter how you toggle the buttons, it doesn't work. It just same sends the same
signal over and over again.
I'm not sure I want to exchange it, because what if this
happens during a performance?

I bought this on another site. At 1/3 of the price, this is still way overpriced for what you get.
Some very unjustified moves, and the overall payoff is pretty lame. There is something in the video
that looks good, until you see it in its entirety, and you realize that the functionality is very
limited. With so many great cube products out currently, this one is on the bottom, for me I do
not recommend it whatsoever.
