Effect

The Six-Sided Psychic Cube is a mentalism trick where the performer presents a cube with playing cards printed on each side. Several spectators each look at and think of one card on the cube. The magician then reads their expressions and accurately identifies every single person's chosen card. The effect appears as though the performer has genuine psychic abilities, making it a strong piece for mentalism routines.

Full Details

The trick includes a custom cube with playing cards displayed on all six sides. The performer can show multiple sides to the audience, reinforcing the idea that the cube is fair and ungimmicked. Spectators freely choose any card they see, and the magician reveals their selections without any obvious fishing or forced choices. The method is subtle and relies on clever design rather than complex sleight of hand.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick is ideal for:

  • Mentalists looking for a compact, visual piece that plays well in close-up or parlor settings.
  • Magicians who enjoy psychological tricks with minimal props.
  • Performers who want a self-contained routine that doesn’t require extensive setup or reset.

Difficulty

The Six-Sided Psychic Cube is relatively easy to perform. It does not require advanced sleight of hand, making it accessible to beginners. However, experienced performers will appreciate the subtleties in presentation that can enhance the effect. The method is straightforward, but strong audience management and misdirection will elevate the impact.

What Magicians Say

Mark from Saturn Magic describes the cube as a "nice little mentalism trick" and speculates that it likely involves a clever limitation in the cards spectators can choose from, making the revelation appear impossible. He notes that Teno products, including this one, are known for their ingenuity and mechanical cleverness.

The Six-Sided Psychic Cube is praised for its simplicity and effectiveness, making it a solid addition to any mentalism or card-based routine. If you enjoy psychological magic with a clean, visual presentation, this trick is worth considering.
