One of magic's most exciting new creators, Sam Huang (aka Crazy Sam), is back with the ultimate project on cube solves.
"Crazy Sam's Solve" feattures Sam Huang's innovative breakthroughs on the instant cube solve. You won't believe these aren't CGI! But, not only are they real, but they're also super practical and have been designed to be performed for real people.
And the best part? It's all pure sleight of hand.
This video encyclopedia of cube solves contains incredible breakthrough concepts like:
You'll learn how to solve cubes with a flick of your fingers as if they were a light switch or by passing them through the shadow of your hand. Another favorite of ours is the gradual solve in which the colors slowly expand on one side until the entire cube is solved. Undoubtedly though, the standout for many of you will be the solve that happens while your volunteer holds the cube.
As this project is being released in conjunction with Henry Harrius, you know the teaching is exceptional quality as well. A top-quality RD practice cube is also included to enhance your learning experience.
You'll receive:
Unlock the secrets to the "Crazy Sam's Solve" and elevate your cube magic today!
Unfortunately, this is the lowest score I have ever given a VI product. I purchased Venom Cube (also from Henry Harrius) and the tutorial video that came with the product was fantastic, so I was expecting this to be on a similar level of quality. However, the fact that the audio is in Chinese (with English subtitles) makes it extremely difficult to use. You want to be able to listen to the directions while looking at your own cube/hands, but you simply can't (if you don't understand Chinese). In addition, the notation used is not explained and it took me a while to even understand it.So while the actual cube stacks and solves are excellent, I rated it "Below standard" because it is exactly that - this is not the standard I have become used to for a VI product tutorial, and since basically the whole product that you are paying for is the tutorial (it comes with a cube which I have not yet received, so while I assume it's a great cube, I have 2 already that came with the Venom Cube and didn't need a third).Some unsolicited advice for the VI crew: Take this off the market for a couple of months, hire a good English language voice-over reader to read the subtitles for the video and repost it so we can give it a 5-star rating.
I’ve learned a number of different types of Rubiks cube magic. This includes cube 3, cube 52 and REFRAKTOR. This is the first one I’ve purchased that doesn’t use standard notation to teach the algorithms. I think that’s unfortunate. I realize that it takes some effort to learn standard cube notation, but it makes it much easier to practice algorithms, than watching a video where the manipulations are based on finger positions. I’m not sure how much I’ll use this video. I’ll give it a chance. But I’m going to end up having to write the notation myself so I have a way to practice other than watching the video over and over.
The tutorials with subtitles are hard to follow. Also, you cannot download the tutorials. Nine different solves and you have to keep signing in to watch the videos. Not very good!
I agree with Jeffrey. Had I know this was in chinese I never would have ordered it. The tutorial is very difficult to follow with subtitles.
Henry and Sam offer good solves for the cube. However, the video is in Chinese with English subtitles. I found it very difficult to read the subtitles and follow the solve that was being shown. Had I known this, I probably would not have purchased it. It would be great if they had gotten someone to translate the dialogue into English.

Roel asks: How easy/difficult is this? Can I use my own Rubik Cube?
Nayos asks: Looks like this item is on pre-order. Any idea when it'll ship?
Terry asks: Can the spectator mix the cube?
Hudson asks: Would the solves fool a cubist?
Steven asks: Since there's no gimmicks involved will be there a download version without a new Cube? Would be nice to avoit unnassary shipping and safe time for people that already own this cubes.
Vince asks: Can you do multiple solves consecutively in a performance or is there a reset between presentations? Thanks.
Antonio asks: Hi, I dont know how to solve a CUBIC !!! for me takes long time, what happens if the CUBIC it is fully mixed, how do I RESTART??
Eric asks: i already have the cube. will there be a download only version?
Cameron asks: Are there any downloads with this or do I need to wait for the package to arrive?
Ravi asks: Will there ever be a version in English?
Joseph asks: For Antonio: STOP! There's no need to disassemble your cube. There are great free apps available that will help you solve a 3x3x3 cube from any mixed state in about 5 minutes. My favorite is CubeX (by Pipi Chick Studio) available on Google Play. I imagine there are similar apps for iOs, but I am a card carrying Android guy!
Jeffrey asks: Is there an English dubbed version yet? Multiple reviews stated that not being able to listen while watching your hands made the tutorials intractable. Also no mention of notations? As a cuber the issues others had seem valid. I want it a lot but weary ... Thanks! LazerLamb
