The old thread was pre-release but Cubed Card is now officially here! I will post the ad copy and my thoughts/review in a separate post:
https://www.murphysmagic.com/product.aspx?id=60730 Description: Perform 5 Amazing Magic Effects with a Single Business-Sized Card! New from Catanzarito Magic comes Cubed Card - a single business-sized card you can carry with you at all times. Now you can be prepared to perform 5 amazing magic effects at any time! Cubed Card contains the images of 48 dice (24 on each side) and you can get 10 full minutes of great effects! One of the effects allows you the option to text your prediction to your spectator - after your performance you can send them a link to your website, Facebook, etc. and get more gigs! Hear what magicians have to say: "Cubed Card is a simple carry-in-your-wallet item that will give you a good 5 minutes of impromptu mental magic. At $10, it's a bargain!" - Rik G "This is a 100% sure-fire effect that packs a punch - very easy to learn. If you pop the card in your wallet, you have a great effect with you at all times!" - Martin L. Hear what spectators have to say: "This is the freakiest thing I've ever seen!!!" - Brandon W "Absolutely Impossible!!!" - Avery "Completely Blows My Mind!!!" - Brooke B "How??? I Love This!!!" - Jordan R Here are the 5 effects possible with Cubed Card: Effect 1 (Mind Reading) - After showing your spectator that the rows on each side of the card add up to different sums, the spectator is free to choose a row and add up the total. Without asking any questions, you are able to look into your spectator's eyes and tell them what number they are thinking! Effect 2 (Body Language) - Spectator rolls an imaginary die and remembers the number on top. You have your spectator answer "yes" to every number (1-6) when you ask them one by one if it is his/her number. You are able to determine when they told the truth and when they lied based on their body language, and you can tell them exactly what their freely chosen number was. Effect 3 (Prediction) - You make a prediction (written, whispered to a spectator, or by texting to allow you to send your web info after the performance is over) of what die a spectator will land on after a free choice of side, row, and dice in that row. Your prediction always matches 100%. Effect 4 (Spectator) - Train a spectator to reveal a completely free choice of any dice on the card. You are able to train your spectator right in front of everyone, without them knowing a thing! Effect 5 (Spectator) - Train a spectator to know whether any dice in a freely selected row is odd or even. This effect also allows you to train a spectator right in front of everyone, without them knowing a thing! Carry Cubed Card with you, and be ready to astound people at a moment's notice! |

I have been playing with this for about 4 days and LOVE it!
Effect 1 --- Probably my favorite of the 5 - spectator truly can choose a free row without any forcing/questions/fishing and you know (without any questions or what row they are thinking of) what the total of the dice in their row equals. This is the perfect set-up for the other effects. Effect 2 --- It is a great effect, and well thought out but probably my least favorite (pretty cool that I still like my least favorite!) - you can tell when the spectator is lying/telling the truth as shown in the video but for this effect you must ask a couple questions that Mike covers well and makes it a "normal" part of this effect by having the spectator tell a lie and tell a truth to understand their body language and then you know their dice number and can play it out any way you want at that point. Effect 3 --- This is an awesome prediction effect! You will nail it 100% of the time - it appears in the instructional video that a small segment was added to make this effect even better. I love the idea of texting the prediction to a spectator and the advice on following up with them to book gigs, but I don't do paid gigs but if I did I would follow the advice and get 100x the money out of this! Effect 4 --- I do a lot of stuff with kids and this is perfect. It is so simple I even had a 5-year-old perform this! Lots of possibilities with a birthday child - and I assumed you just pointed at whatever dice the spectator chose, but it is way more deceptive than that - and just as easy! Effect 5 --- There are 2 different ways taught to accomplish this (one even a blind person could do it!) - I actually went beyond Cubed Card and use my phone calculator - someone types in random numbers and the spectator your trained (you really can train them right in front of everyone!) can say number by number if it is odd or even. Drives people crazy. For $10 this is a no brainer! I also carry a Bwave set and a 5-1 bill Transpo in my wallet and this is right up there with them! I have gone from being able to perform 5 minutes of magic out of my wallet to 15-20 minutes and so far people love it. Great job Mike! Proud of you (I know Mike as a person as well, but he would tell you I wouldn't be afraid to tell him if his idea was crap! haha) Do yourself a favor and buy this! |

Thank you so much for the review! I am getting great feedback from the people who supported on Trickstarter and received their Cubed Card. It is now available for only $10 through Penguin, World Magic Shop, Vanishing Magic, etc, etc, etc. Look forward to hearing from others who are enjoying this effect as well!

No problem! I hope you sell tons of these. It is a real winner. Everyone has a hot rod laying around and there are WAY more advantages to this (by far more magical, carry in your wallet, get a lot more time, 5 different effects, etc, etc, etc) - good luck!

My Cubed Cards arrived here in the UK today. I'm still getting requests from friends of friends to do the Body Language/Truth or Lie routine on them using my home-made card, which now has a permanent place in my wallet.
I see that a quote from my review is being used in the Penguin ad-copy - hope it adds a few sales Congratulations on creating a little winner Mike, well done. |

Effect #2 - I jazz around with the "info gathering" phase much more.
I always start with "a truth" and "a lie" but I change the order and the rows. After that I mix and match selecting a row or telling a truth or lie between myself and the spectator to make them feel the process is fairer. When I've got the info I might ask them to tell me if a particular row contains their number and I'll tell them if they are telling a truth or a lie and then tell them which number they were thinking of rather than doing the 1 to 6 reveal. I'm doing this in front of people who have seen the effect before so the more variety I can add into the presentation the better. |

I showed Cubed Card to the owner of my local (well about 45 minutes away) magic shop and he loved it! Wants to sell them from his shop. The others 2 magicians that were in the shop wanted to buy one - can the owner purchase some from you to sell in his shop or how would he get these? I am sure he would want them at a discount since his purpose is to resell and make money. Effect #3 blew them away!!!

Received this idea from a Cubed Card user: use your smartphone to take a photo of your Cubed Card and you can perform it digitally as well!

It's nice to pull this out of your wallet for some neat on-the-spot magical/mental stuff.
Nothing hard to it, but it really amazes folks. Me likey! *Oh, and really liking "Boxology" too, neat little piece of deception there.

Took my son to a fall festival on a farm over the weekend and they had a strolling magician there that was performing Cubed Card - was hoping he would use me for one of the effects haha - only got to chat with him a few minutes afterward and he said it is one of his favorites and people love it. He also uses the "text prediction" for effect 3 to gain potential clients. Pretty cool moment to see another magician performing the trick you created!
