Very, VERY clever. Though it's easy to use, this is one of those products that you benefit from
practice in order to make it look less like a gimmick and more like real magic. As far as needing to
be able to solve a cube? It's not a technical requirement to use the Insta gimmick, but getting this
has started me down the road to learning to do just that. The video is top notch and does teach some
handling equivalent to a false shuffle, and it was something I got down (not mastered) within a few
minutes. BUT. Be prepared to screw up these moves which is why you should probably learn how to get
a cube into a solved state. I'm using the free Android app Cubex for restoration now, but there are
many other apps out there. This is one of my most satisfying purchases ever.
