Super Vision Cube by Julio Montoro

Effect

The Super Vision Cube is a modern take on the classic Vision Cube effect. A spectator places a dice inside a small box, choosing any face they like. The magician, without looking, can accurately reveal the chosen face. The trick includes multiple phases, escalating in impossibility. In later phases, neither the magician nor the spectator knows the cube's position, yet the magician still correctly identifies it.

Full Details

The Super Vision Cube kit includes a small plastic box, a customizable dice, and two gimmicks that allow for different forces or revelations. The dice comes unstickered, allowing performers to personalize it with numbers, letters, or symbols. The gimmicks are thin and well-made, blending seamlessly with the cube.

AlexisReviews notes that the compact size makes it easy to carry, though the thin plastic box can warp with temperature changes. The gimmicks require resetting between phases, but this is manageable within the routine.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This trick suits magicians who enjoy mentalism or prediction effects with a physical prop. It works well for close-up performances, especially in casual settings. Those who like customizable props will appreciate the ability to personalize the dice.

AlexisReviews suggests it's best for occasional use rather than daily performances. MonsterMagicShop mentions that while the effect is strong, the small box size may limit visibility for larger groups.

Information on How Difficult It Is to Perform

The trick is rated as moderately easy. AlexisReviews gives it a 2 out of 4 for difficulty, noting that handling the gimmicks requires some practice but is not overly complex. MonsterMagicShop critiques Julio Montoro's handling as lacking finesse compared to classic Vision Cube performances, suggesting that magicians may need to refine their presentation for maximum impact.

What Magicians Say

• AlexisReviews: "I really like the fact that Julio stepped up a little bit on the quality of this one. The gimmicks are well-made, and the compact size is great for portability. However, the thin box can warp with temperature changes."
• MonsterMagicShop: "The additional phases add depth, but the box is too small for group performances. The homemade appearance of the cube before stickering is a drawback. For the price, there are better alternatives like Brent Braun’s 4K Vision Box."

The Super Vision Cube offers a fresh twist on a classic effect, with customization options and multiple phases. While it has some limitations, it remains a solid choice for magicians looking for a portable, versatile mentalism tool.
