I don't leave many reviews but of the hundreds of magic tricks I own, some not so good, some decent, some great, if I could only leave one review it without a doubt would be for this project. In my opinion, this project is prefect! Not only is the magic and the routine really great, but it leaves the door wide open to build on and put your own spin on it and create a routine that is specific and perfect for you. There can be so many moments of awe and amazement in this routine, and with the right story you could easily stretch this out into a twenty minute or half hour informative and enjoyable routine that would be very entertaining and satisfying, not to mention impossible. But that's just the final result, for me the creating of the gimmicks was as fun, if not funner, (is that even a word?) than the actual performance. The tutorial is over an hour long and explains you everything you need, there's no guess work at all. You see a full performance that will spark so many ideas for you to add to it to create a personalized routine, or you can just use the routine that it taught, it is very strong as it is. And the DYI portion of the tutorial is explained slow and precise, step by step for you to easily create your gimmicks without any issues. It was so much fun to create the perfect mix on the cubes and then to create the gimmicks was just so satisfying. And for $10 more for an extra bottle and $8 for an extra cube, you can create the ultimate routine and add five or ten extra minutes to the performance by solving the cube in the bottle after your initial impossible cube matching miracle. I'm not a huge fan of DYI in general but the DYI in this project is half of the fun and enjoyment. The only thing that surprised me was that being that they included almost everything you need to create the gimmick, down to a long screwdriver and wooden dowel, why not include a small piece of stick tac? It's necessary for the assembly and who wants to go out to find that and have to purchase it? That was pretty disappointing but not a reason to hesitate. But other than that, this is pretty much the perfect project. I own many, many incredible tricks but for some reason this one just grabbed me from start to finish and it is such a strong visual that if you only performed this one trick for your audiences, they would be satisfied and be talking about how the impossible happened right in front of their eyes. This is one project that is worth every penny, it's a very fair price and the magic will hold up forever. There's no gimmick to break so you'll have a very solid routine for years and years to come. I'm not even a cube magic guy but this is now probably my favorite routine for so many reasons, it's just so impossible and fair in the eyes of the audience, I would strongly recommend this project to everyone! You will not be disappointed!
