Magic Dino Cube

One of my best designs. A 6-tile Magic puzzle with the theme of the rare 4-color Dino Cube. To achieve the cube form from its flat shape, a secret move is shown in this video. :-)

did u make that? is that magnets?

[kastellorizo]

Yes, I made that puzzle. The tiles are connected with strings using a well known mechanism (23 years old) which was invented by Rubik.

where'd you get a 2x3 magic?

[kastellorizo]

As stated in the details, it is a custom puzzle I made. :-)

how do you string a 6 tile magic?

i have looked at the twistypuzzles article but they only explain 8 tile ones.

[kastellorizo]

Stringing is exactly same as an 8-tile, you just use two tiles less. You really need to spend some time to understand how the stringing works, and then realise that the strings will always converge to the same spot. For example, draw an image and check where the stringing paths go.

This is very cool! Thank you for sharing...I never thought about creating my own pictures for the inside. Since my last one came apart, I bought a new one dreading to put it back together. But since I've seen this, I think I might tackle it and print me off some new pics...
