The pros and the cons : Here is the core of my review, let's begin with the cons, as I will usually be doing, I prefer to keep the good things for the end.
THE CONS :
– This is also a pro but you’ll have to buy 2 regular cubes in order to perform Perfect Square, so this is an extra cost you have to take into account.
– There is a little bit of work to get it down, but you’ll see that you will enjoy performing this over and over in front of your mirror, it’s addictive !
THE PROS :
– Let’s see why having to buy your cubes is a pro ! I think it’s a pro because you can use nearly any cube you want, whether it’s a regular Rubik’s or a speed cube, as long as it matches the size of the cube (57 mm), you’ll be fine ! (and even if you have a 56 mm cube, you’ll be fine, there are ways of making it works with the gimmick).
– Also, if you lose one of the cube, you’re not ****ed, you can just buy a new one, which is better than Rubicon because both cubes were gimmicked.
– They provide you the gimmick “blank” with a set of stickers so you’re not limited with an algorithm you don’t like. You can customize your cube to the algorithm you want, you don’t have to learn a new one. This is a huge plus compared to a product like Rubicon, because you didn’t get the choice of the algorithm with it.
– This will work close up, I can’t go into details why but the way the gimmick is made, there is less to see for the audience.
– The price ! This is insanely cheap when you compare it to other options on the market.
– The gimmick is really well made, I can see it lasting a long time if you take care of it. Since it’s made out of ABS, you can (even if I don’t recommend it) drop it without damaging it.
– I found that the perfect cube for Perfect Square is the regular Rubik’s Cube from Rubik’s. I know the old ones were ****ty, they didn’t turn right but the new ones are much better and they fit perfectly the gimmick. Also, they have plastic instead of stickers which is a very good thing because stickers may get damaged if you do the trick over and over.
– They have thought of everything, in order to hold the gimmick in place, they found an incredible material which works amazingly well and will never let you down.
– This is addictive, you won’t be able to put the cubes down, you’ll be doing it over and over in front of your mirror !
Overall rating : I’ve been a huge fan of the cube matching routine, since I reviewed Rubicon a few months ago, I think Perfect Square will replace it, because of the way it’s made, the fact I can use regular cubes and so on, 4/4 hearts.
As for the difficulty level, it’s not as easy as I thought it would be, it’s not hard neither, just take a good week of practice, I would say 3/5 stars.
Similar products : Rubicon by Greg Wilson is an amazing routine which is still great, I just think Perfect Square brings enough good and innovative points to the game so I’ll switch to it ! Rubik’s Nightmare by Michael Lam and Henry Harrius is a good routine too, there are many options on the market.
