Since I'm still working (slowly) on the moves Steven Brundage teaches in Cube 3, I've been looking for a good gimmick-based instant solve cube. Considering most gimmicks are $100+, this is a good alternative to that.

Pros:

Good price, full downloadable Vimeo video with explanations on gimmick construction and handling. Full instruction on how you need to alter a new cube to make it work with the gimmick. There's enough material here to make two basic gimmicks, so if you mess up with some pretty precise cutting, you're not out of luck.

Cons:

The colors given are not an exact match on the newest official Rubik's Cubes (for example, the Rubik's Speed Cube, which handles the best), so you might need to hunt down a good match. The pattern squares are just slightly smaller than the actual Cube squares as well. No one will notice at a distance or on video, but it is noticeable close-up.

Also, the video recommends buying actual Rubik's stickers for better realism, but with the size difference you'll need to build a new gimmick without the provided pattern. The video suggests you can avoid gimmick slippage by getting additional materials that are not provided.

Overall, a good effect for the money. If you don't mind some involved arts and crafts to construct the gimmick, you'll get a decent trick. That'll give me some time to work up my manipulation skills to Brundage level.
