Cubio (Plastic) by William Brema, Carl Brema

The Triple Mystery Cube was first created by Carl Brema c. 1932 with a brass cube. His son, William Brema, continued to make a high-quality version in plastic during and after the Second World War for Kanter’s and others called Cubio.

This is a great fooler that can be set and cleared in front of the spectator, and it wasn’t until 1964 when Tenyo started selling their version which is probably what most people will remember.

Effect: A small plastic cube with a string running through it is exhibited. The cube runs freely down the string. Upon “Magi’s” command the cube stops in MIDAIR – “Defying Gravity.” The Magician commands the cube again. It falls. The cube may be examined by spectators but will stop and go only upon magician’s request.

Three effects can be performed with the Cube. The Obedient Cube, Color Changing Cube and Sex Detector.

• Obedient Cube: the cube starts and stops at the magicians command.
• Color Changing Cube: Color Changing effect
• Sex Detector. Sex of eggs may also be detected by holding the cube over same. There are dozens of amusing stunts you can perform by using the cube as a sex detector.
