Rules have just changed. Rubiked is a brand new concept in Rubik’s Cube magic, pushing the limit of prediction effects even further! Get ready to discover a cube which allows you to predict the result of a complete random shuffle in your spectators’ hands. And guess what? There’s no manipulation, you don’t even need to take the cube back or even see it. You can now reveal your prediction on your smartphone with a photo (from your gallery) taken few hours before your performance. Your spectators can clearly see their cube and the one from the photo matching perfectly (even though they just shuffled it, freely.)! One prediction, multiple platforms You’re not limited to the photo-in-gallery prediction but can predict the cube configuration on YOUR WEBSITE (enjoy the web traffic generator). A Google Images (soon) version is also included, allowing your spectators to access the prediction on THEIR phones.
