Another review from FB page....
I have pre-ordered mine long way back at Blackpool. If you see this live, it's a pure miracle. Cleverly designed and absolutely practical. You will be ashamed to get the applause because it really is so easy to do, in comparison with other methods and techniques for similar effects. So all focus on presentation and entertainment. It doesn't get any beter! Greg rules

Hi David,
Its not a group. Its Gregory Wilson page. On there half way down you see the video for Rubicon and view comments. I am friends with him (along with about 2200 magicians lol). Anyway, he answered some questions on there and for me, one of the biggest factors is ease of use. I am cube challenged. Here is his latest response: "MUCH easier than Cube 3. So easy THAT I CAN DO IT and I can't solve a cube!!!" I have only had Enchanted cube which was gimmicked. At first I thought I really wanted another gimmicked cube albeit, different. Now, I am thinking it may be better to have a speed cube that is not gimmicked if it is EASY to do. I mean watching Greg do it one handed behind the back is incredible. Heck, doing it one handed in front without looking to me is magic. I don't know if it is a special system he has or gimmick applied etc but guess we will all know the answers soon.

So you don't have to know how to solve the cube ? If the cube gets mixed do you have to bring it back to the solved position ?
Thanks, Jeffrey |

Appears to me that the solve is I gimmicked.
It appears the gimmick is used for the second phase where the cubes match. I'm fairly certain I know what the gimmick is, and it is genius. Greg is devilishly brilliant.

So does the package come with the two cubes to perform the matching part of the routine? Or do you need to go out and also buy the cubes?

Yes ungimmicked two cubes included. I see what Tophatter is saying. From a cube challenged viewpoint, at this point that is one of the biggest factors for me. I use to have to replace stickers etc for my last gimmick. I am right brained all the way, can act but cannot solve lol.
I see phase 1 being for more people like me. Phase 2 is for anyone and entirely awesome. Even if some of us know how it works, think about what the spectator sees. And how easy or difficult to get in and out of the business.... Greg is a ninja, a chick magnet and pretty much has some things he has guarded now is having a time packing and cracking to get these out the door August 1st. And now for the biggest question for all (not how the stinking thing works) is will the price really go up on Augusto Uno?

Finland was one of the first places Wilson did this on tv. That was years ago and at that time it was just matching routine. Wilson also workshopped on this after his lecture at Helsinki with those 10 or so who attented after lecture sessions. Its clever but what you receive is more on Bob Kohler proline prices than common magic shop prices. Of course 2 quality cubes, carrying box and gaff can easily add up to 80-100$ but knowing exactly what this is I have to say that I was somewhat surprised on the price.
However, in the end it doesn't matter. Name one Wilson product that doesn't deliver... I personally cant. He has put out just workers and knowing that he has worked this easily at least a decade this will be a joy to workers and because of the high price it wont be done by every amateur and hobbyist. I might consider picking this up from Wilson in two weeks when he comes to Finland

Thus the product will soon loose its exclusivity. My thoughts please.

I speculate you are paying for a switching gimmick, not a gimmicked cube, but what do I know

No but nor do I see an unedited performance of an audience mixed cube handed back to him and solved. The full performance which has since been made private does not show that either

Or a gimmicked cube that's looks mixed but is solved with simple twists. That makes more sense for the money. Hmmm a cube that you mixed behind your back could be gimmicked to only mix certain ways. That could look good. I love the speculation.

Anyway it had the 4-5 turns and it was solved. It was gimmicked. It was not a speed cube however and no way to do it one handed or behind the back. I think its safe to say these are two normal albeit premium speed cubes. Watching the now private video over and over, he must have a nice easy method of doing this since the AD says over and over its super easy and no knowledge of how to solve the cubes is needed. Is it something original? I figure he will give credit to someone who has released or posted the method soon enough. Whatever that part of it is, without a ton of practice, I know there must be something secretive to it or it would not be so easy to do. All that said, it may be something added to the normal speed cube.

The first clip of Greg solving behind his back is the stong moment for me! Very cool stuff
