The cube is by far one of the easiest and (arguably) most useful routines out there. I say this because it’s not only a good show of value but is also a really effective cold reading technique. Iv done this with many of my friends to test it and it works superbly. I even managed to tell them stuff about themselves that they didn’t realise before. Decoding the imagination’s mysterious images is a skill that takes practice. Its called tasvir: the art of interpreting pictures.

I recommend this book for learning the cube. In the back of it they have a vast vocabulary of what everything means from colour and texture of the cube to what it means if the horse is flying.
A lot of the time when playing this game it can be good not to tell them what each thing means (the cube is you, the ladder is your friends, the horse is your lover etc.) and just tell them what you have learned about them.
Normally when I start telling people about themselves without explaining how the cube works they say something like “WTF how could you possibly know that about me!?!?!” To which I give a cheeky grin.
By playing it this way you not only build up more value but also a sense of mystery. The target becomes over run with curiosity, desperately wanting to know how you could know such intimate things about her from such a simple game.
Hope this is useful bro.
