Magic Cube Tutorial:

• Rubik's magic cube can be challenge; when you are solving one side the other side messes up on you
• According to Michiel van der Blonk, you can solve the magic cube with a layer by layer approach and using only four algorithms or sequence of moves
• Once you learn to recognize when to use an algorithm and memorize the four algorithms, you should be able to solve the magic cube within one minute
• It is best to learn the algorithms one by one since it is the hardest part

Instructions:

Learn the notation symbols which is considered standard:

• Right (R), Left (L), Up (U), Down (D), Front (F), Back (B)

Learn the mathematical X, Y and Z axes:

• X--rotate the cube looking at the Right face
• Y--rotate the cube looking at the Up face
• Z--rotate the cube looking at the Front face

Learn the technique to solve the magic cube in the layer by layer method:

• Make a cross on the top layer, insert the corners to make the top layer complete, insert the middle layer edges, make a cross on the bottom layer, rotate the corners to make the bottom color complete, Swap corners to fix the bottom corners, swap (or carousel) edges to fix the bottom edges

Learn the first algorithm "The Cross:"

• Put the front-bottom sticker on top-front "D" "L" "F" "L;" put the front-top sticker on top-front "F" "U" "R" "U;" put the front-right sticker on top-front "U" "R" "U;" put the front-left sticker on top-front "U" "L" "U."

How to Make the Magic Cube?

The Magic Cube is simple to create and something that can amaze your friends. This card stock craft can be folded repeatedly while continuously forming a 2-by-4- inch rectangle or a 2-by-2-inch cube, and it never comes apart. The Magic Cube is made with eight card stock cubes that are taped together. The size of each cube dictates how large the final Magic Cube structure will be



Construct the Individual Cubes:

• Draw a 2-inch horizontal line, with a ruler and pencil, about a half-inch below the top of an 8-inch by 10-inch card stock sheet
• Create a 2-by-8-inch rectangle by extending a vertical 8-inch line from both points of the original 2-inch line. Then, draw another 2-inch horizontal line at the bottom to connect the 8-inch vertical lines
• Draw a horizontal line across the rectangle shape 2 inches down from the top. Be sure to extend the line 2 inches on each side of the rectangle, which will create a 6-inch line. Then draw another 6-inch horizontal line 2 inches down from the last drawn line
• Create a cross figure by drawing 2-inch vertical lines to connect the points on each side of the 6-inch horizontal lines
• Draw a horizontal line 2 inches up from the bottom of the cross but do not extend the horizontal line beyond the perimeter of the rectangle into which it is drawn. Then, count the squares of the cross to ensure there are six
• Cut the cross figure from the card stock with a pair of scissors, and bend the figure forward along each of the lines between the six squares. Be sure to place a piece of tape on the side to keep them in place and continue folding and taping until the cube is formed
• Repeat steps one through six of this section to create a total of eight card stock cubes

Assemble the Magic Cube:

• Place two card stock cubes side by side on a flat surface, and attach the top face of both cubes with a piece of tape
• Press the top face of the two cubes together by flipping them upright and affix another piece of tape along the hinge to further secure the cubes together
• Repeat steps one and two of this section with the remaining seven cubes until there are a total of four pairs of connected cubes. Then, arrange the connected cubes so the top and bottom pairs are horizontal with the hinge of the top face. Afterwards, place the remaining two pairs of cubes vertically along the middle so the hinge is on the faces of the outer sides
• Connect the top face of the cube in the upper-left corner to the top face of the cube directly below it with a piece of tape. Be sure to connect the top face of the upper-right cube to the top face of the cube below it, as well. Then, secure the connected cubes with a piece of tape on the opposite side of the hinges
• Connect the top face of the cube in the lower-left corner to the top face of the cube directly above it with a piece of tape. Be sure to connect the top face of the lower-right cube to the top face of the cube above it, as well. Then, secure the connected cubes with a piece of tape on the opposite side of the hinges. Finally, amaze your friends with a Magic Cube that can be folded over and over along the hinges to create a unique puzzle that will never come apart
