Although Vincent has not yet released his routine, we did speak in private and we are both content that our methods differ. The Solution CREDITS & INSPIRATION: Whilst I believed that the ‘spectator solve’ routine was unique with me, it appears that I was pipped to the post by an Australian magician by the name of, Vincent Kuo.

Whilst I still enjoy performing Mark’s effect from time to time, I had always longed for a more personal routine, one in which the spectator themselves would seemingly be able to solve the cube. Side Note: My very first standing ovation, was received after a performance of ‘Rubik Remembered’. As such, it is very easy to understand why we get such great responses to those effects which culminate with a fully solved cube.

Almost everyone I have ever met has tried to solve one at some point in their life and, luckily for us, the vast majority have failed. Audiences the world over are not only very familiar with the Rubik Cube, they are also under the false impression that these are very difficult to solve.


In the past, I have played with several of the most popular, cube based magic and mental effects most notably, ‘Rubik Remembered’ by Mark Elsdon, ‘The Cube’ by Takamiz Usui and Cube 3 by Steven Brundage.
