    Default This guide made me mad.

    So, while googling on tips for the Oil and Water card trick, I stumbled across this:

    http://www.freemagictricks4u.com/how-to-do-magic.html

    Just from the title:

    How to do Magic:
    Rubik's Cube Trick

    I knew I had to read this. So, read for yourself, but I'll show you the lines that made me angriest.

    When you get your cube it may be solved. If it is not you should be able to manually take it apart and put it back together solved.
    Now on only one side of the cube you need to stick coloured stickers on so that it looks mixed up. Either buy some coloured sticky labels or use coloured pieces of paper and stick them on the side with glue (as below).
    If your purchased Rubik's Cube is not solved and you can not take it apart to put it back together solved, simply stick pieces of paper over all of the cube.
    This Rubik's Cube effect is a great trick that will really freak out your audience, you will look like a master magician.
    If you do not remember how to undo the moves you may well mix up the cube totally and have to re-gimmick it!
    .........

    EDIT:

    Oh yeah, and I forgot this one, perhaps the worst one:

    You explain that the world record is around ten seconds but you can do it in just one second.

    It made me angry that people have to invent tricks in order to make people think that it's possible to solve the Rubik's cube when they could just put some effort into it and learn how to solve it for real.

    It is a page on magic tricks, not speedcubing.

    But that isn't what they're saying at all. The trick isn't to show people that they can solve it, the trick is to toss a scrambled cube and catch a solved one.

    This is not a new trick... You're wasting your time getting frustrated over this. It is a magic trick, not a cubing trick.

    That's actually very clever. I dare someone to try that at a competition. :P (Someone that doesn't really care if they don't actually compete.)
