Cube 52
The most revolutionary development to cube magic since the launch of Cube3.
"Cube 52 opens up a whole new world in cube magic. Absolutely Ingenious!" Henry Harrius
Brought to you by Craig Petty, "Cube 52" is a massive 4-part project using a specially-designed unique deck of marked cards to create mind-melting new routines. For years, magicians have tried to awkwardly shoehorn playing cards into their Rubik's Cube magic routines. "Cube 52" ushers in a new era of amazing magic where everything finally makes sense.
You don't need to know to solve a Rubik's Cube. For some of the tricks, you don't even need one at all. Many of these tricks are super easy to do as well.
You'll receive a one-of-a-kind "Cube 52" deck designed by Phill Smith. Instead of traditional faces, they have solid blocks of color. Six colors, nine of each, to match a Rubik's Cube. In total, you have 54 cards, just like a full deck of cards. And they're all cleverly marked.
This is one of those things that makes you wonder how nobody has thought of it before. But, we're glad that Craig Petty finally did. Because, it unlocks so many incredible new possibilities.
Much of the exciting potential is covered in the accompanying 9 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION spread out across 4 INCREDIBLE VOLUMES all for ONE LOW PRICE! Of course, Craig couldn't do it alone. So he's invited a spectacular lineup of talented guests to help you learn some of the most incredible close up magic and mentalism you've ever seen.

NOTE
You do not receive a Rubik's Cube with your purchase because these tricks are designed to work with any normal ungimmicked cube. For the best experience though, you'll definitely want one of the "RD Regular Cubes" developed exclusively for magicians by cube magic master Henry Harrius.

Customer reviews for Cube 52
I love Cube magic, and this is a very welcome addition to my collection, indeed. Thanks for carrying this, Vanishing Inc.
Despite my repeated explanations to my peers that performing cube magic isn't my primary focus, except as a tool to enhance the mathematical wonders within my own style of card magic, I've undergone a significant shift in perspective.
I'm not one to emphasize card flourishes; the focus I seek in my performances revolves around deliberately simple yet seemingly impossible outcomes. While I do appreciate cardistry, I've often felt that genuine magic can occasionally be overshadowed by overt displays of expert sleight of hand. Initially, I perceived cube magic as less enchanting and more like a series of intricate flourishes. Although this perception may hold true in certain instances, it's not the complete picture. Similar to card magic, the appearance of simplicity doesn't negate the skillful manipulation and sleight of hand involved. I've come to realize that cube magic operates on analogous principles. Yes, it can be executed with flashy movements, but those same maneuvers can be deceptively unassuming, much like well-practiced sleights.
Through the Cube52 project, I've also learned that, just as in card magic, complex algorithms coexist with practical and straightforward ones. This brings to mind how my approach to card magic transformed after mastering the Mnemonica stack. Initially, I was content with executing a false shuffle and swiftly identifying cards while fanning out the deck, predicting each one before it even touched the table. Now, my relationship with Mnemonica resembles the bond between a little old lady and her cherished Louisiana Red Hot Sauce-a partnership that dynamically enhances the world of card magic.
It's become evident to me that Cube52 not only presents mind-boggling, professional-grade magic that seamlessly complements my act, but it also brings illumination, similar to the journey with Mnemonica, to what once seemed daunting and unfeasible. It has become accessible.
In conclusion, my experience with the Cube52 project has brought me to a distinct crossroads. The foundations of this project hold significant value on their own, and I might choose to incorporate elements that harmonize with my performances. However, similar to Mnemonica, I sense that there's always something just beyond my peripheral vision that could elevate my performance further. By adding Cube52 routines to my act, I anticipate finding myself in such situations regularly. Thankfully, the Cube52 project has thrown these doors of possibility wide open.
Bringing a cube into the mix allows you to do miracles with some basic cube manipulation or even with no cube manipulation at all. Craig even recruits the guys from the Refraktor project to teach some basic cube moves so you can see if you want to move in that direction. Some of these amazing routines can even be done strolling with no table.
This is one of the best values I've ever seen. The custom deck alone is worth the price -- even the card case looks like a "speed-cuber" deck and contains some of its own secrets. And the markings are actually easy to read. But Craig went ridiculously over and above with the extensive tutorial, and even if you are a beginner and this is your first purchase, you will be able to learn some routines. Most definitely a candidate for trick of the year.
