Rubik’s Cube by Henry Harrius and Takamiz Usui

Effect

The Wafer Cube creates the illusion of a Rubik’s Cube visually shrinking in the performer’s hands—not just once, but twice. The transformations appear clean and impossible, with no visible gimmicks or suspicious movements. The effect is repeatable, making it suitable for multiple performances.
