Effect
The Venom Cube is a Rubik's Cube matching effect. A spectator mixes one cube while the magician mixes another. When compared, all six sides of both cubes match perfectly. The trick often includes an instant solve where a mixed cube appears to solve itself in the magician's hands or mid-air. The visual transformation is direct and surprising for audiences.
Full details
The Venom Cube uses a special gimmick to achieve the matching effect. It does not use shells, making the trick deceptive and angle-proof. The package includes two custom cubes, a gimmick, a velvet storage pouch, replacement stickers, and video instructions. The Compact Edition is smaller and more portable than the original. It fits easily into a pocket. The trick also includes a bonus routine with a cube fact card. Some performers add the Gear Solve, a gimmick-free instant solve, to enhance the routine. The trick requires some preparation before performance.
Who should consider the trick
The Venom Cube suits magicians who perform with Rubik's Cubes. It works well for stage shows, close-up magic, and cabaret performances. Steve Faulkner notes it works well on stage. The Compact Edition is ideal for street magicians and table-hoppers due to its portability. Craig Petty and Ryland recommend it for cube magic enthusiasts. It is a good choice for performers who want a strong visual effect with minimal sleight of hand.
Information on how difficult it is to perform
The Venom Cube is not difficult to perform. The gimmick does most of the work. Henry Harrius states the trick has no bad angles or suspicious moves. Steve Faulkner calls it nearly self-working. However, some reviewers mention a learning curve. One reviewer said it took nine minutes to master initially. Matt from magic-tv found the Venom Cube harder to learn compared to other cube tricks.
