Rubik's Remembered
Sup guys, ever heard of " Rubik's Remembered by Mark Elsdon"?
seriously, is this just a BLD explaination dvd?
If so, is it even morally right to sell something one can legally get for free online?

Sure, it's morally right to sell something that's free online. Plenty of books do that. It's just that buying it (for the information only) would mean you're really bad at Googling.
$30 is a bit steep for a BLD tutorial, though. I'm also interested by the fact that he claims you can solve it in under 2 minutes (normally) and then under 2 minutes (while blindfold) - is this a speed BLD tutorial, or does he expect you to be really good at commutators?

I might buy it just to find out. If it's fake I can recognize it if I see it
If it's real It can help me study
It does say "Apparently" from memory, so, yeh.
also: 7 steps, how many steps does beginner method have? cross, corners first layer, second layer, cross oll, corner oll, edge pll, corner pll.
7

effect of solving the Cube apparently from memory, whilst blind-folded

maybe he just expects you to cheat. |

His brilliant 7-step solution is quickly learnt and was designed to offer ease of long-term recall.

Most 7 step solutions are beginner methods.

Yeah but don't forget his is "brilliant".
I'm willing to donate $5 (by paypal) in the pursuit of one of us buying it and summarizing it for us others.

I'm a magician, So if I'm ordering anything there I'll get the dvd too (I was looking for enchanted/insta cube anyway for the performing rights. I'm making an enchanted 5x5x5(though 35 bucks for the gimmic is a lot, dude, you need 1 cube and 5 or 6 extra stickers to make it))

Actually, scratch that. Another magic store mentions the fake blindfold used (German, beware!), so it's not interesting at all.

fake blindfold?
HA HA!
In other words, I'll learn BLD and if I see a magician do it I'll whip out a real blindfold

This was made for magicians, by magicians. It is a beginner's solution and it teaches how to peak from a blindfold. Magicians sell their tricks on DVDs a lot. Richard Osterlind, a well known mentalist in the world of magic, has a 2-DVD set that he released a while ago that has solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded as a second-sight demonstration. He is blindfolded before the cube is scrambled. On themagiccafe.com, a magic forum, people were discussing this trick. John George, the magician on the "You Can Solve The Cube" DVD, stepped in and said that there are ways to solve the cube blindfolded without trickery, and everyone was amazed. I can assure you that "Rubik Remembered" is just a magic trick that teaches how to solve a Rubik's Cube and how to use a nose peak.
