A legendary close-up magic effect, lovingly recreated for the modern magician.
When a spectator thinks of any card, you don't pull out a deck. Instead, you reach for something unexpected: a set of vintage building blocks and an hourglass timer. As time runs out, you turn over the blocks one by one to reveal their chosen card impossibly assembled on the wooden faces. It's visual, mysterious, and absolutely unforgettable.
Tommy Wonder's Rubik's Card is one of close-up magic's most celebrated routines, and this Collector's Edition brings it to life with museum-quality craftsmanship. Each set is individually handmade by master artisans using premium wood and authentic playing cards, staying faithful to Wonder's original vision while adding subtle modern refinements that make it an absolute joy to perform.
Why Magicians Love This Effect
This isn't just another card trick. Rubik's Card tells a story. The building blocks create an element of childhood nostalgia, while the hourglass adds dramatic tension and cleverly conceals the method. It's the kind of magic that makes people lean in closer, not because they're trying to catch you, but because they're genuinely enchanted.
The method is beautifully simple and direct. You'll learn it in minutes, but you'll perform it for a lifetime. Whether you're working close-up gigs, parlor shows, or just want to blow minds at the card table, this is the kind of piece that defines your reputation as a thinking performer.
