Rubik's Remember

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.

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))

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.
 
It gives you a crappy beginner's method and tells you how to peek through the small gaps around his nose.

Not only is it easily possible to perform a legit BLD solve in under two minutes, but his "trick" can be done in seconds, since it's basically just a regular speedsolve.
 
Because no one thinks that this is worth the money, I'm going to challenge anyone with a youtube account to post a video of a BLD, but put in the title and tags that it is the "Rubik Remembered" magic trick. Watch all of the magicians commenting asking if the trick is good, if it can be performed surrounded, if it's impromptu, etc. To a magician, a 2 minute blindfold solve is amazing. On top of that, you can do it with 100% accuracy, surrounded, impromptu, no gimmicks, minimal skill, no misdirection, and it's virtually self working. If you make money from doing tricks, this may seem well worth the money.

This DVD came out a few months after Matyas was caught, but Richard Osterlind's "No Camera Tricks" DVD was released before years before Matyas was caught. A popular magic book called The Royal Road To Card Magic contains peaking from a blindfold (not for a cube solve, for a card trick), and it was released well before the Rubik's Cube was invented.
 
I'm working on a magic act around the cube, which includes something I call "Semi Insta Cube" (a 4 or 5 second cubesolve (setup)), a prediction and a trick I call "Death by cubing" (A stackmat controlled electric head mover illusion, combined with a real blindsolve)
Any other trick ideas?)

Barry and Stuart have a nice routine including the cube. You could probably do their vanish at the end using a pull.
