This part two of my review. I have since had time to review both instructional videos: one on VIMEO and the DVD that is included with the trick. All the instructions are in Japanese, with English subtitles. They are relatively easy to follow. The magician doing the trick says that he prefers to do the MAGIC CUBE version, and not the DICE version of the trick. The instructions only show you how to do the CUBE version. They do not show you how to prepare everything to do the DICE version of the trick, which I think is an oversight. They only give you enough material to do one version or the other as well. For the price I think they should have provided enough material so you could do both versions (CUBE and DICE). Lastly, as I said in the first part of my review, this HAS to be done on a black mat. You are provided with a smallish, rolled up piece of material you can use. It is very wrinkly so it has to be pressed flat once removed from the box. One side has adhesive on it so hopefully I can glue it to cardboard and get most of the creases out of it. A professional black mat would be better to use, assuming it is the right tone and texture black material. For what you receive I feel the $30 price is reasonable, BUT, had I seen this demonstrated in front of me, as a close-up magician, I never would have bought it!
