Mental Colour Cube by Dan Har

Created by: Dan Har

Mental Colour Cube is a beginner-friendly mentalism and close-up magic trick where the magician accurately predicts a spectator's selected color from a cube hidden inside a box. The spectator freely chooses a color from the cube, which is then concealed in the box, and the magician reveals the correct prediction, often through a written note or verbal announcement. The cube and box can be fully inspected by the audience, enhancing the mystery and eliminating suspicions of gimmicks. This trick is ideal for strolling magic, quick openers, or as part of a larger routine, and it comes with all necessary props and a full instructional video, making it accessible for magicians of all skill levels. Buyers should note that it focuses solely on color prediction and is part of budget-friendly kits or sold individually.
