RD Insta 1s-Solved Cube

RD Insta 1s-Solved Cube

RD Insta 1s-Solved Cube is not a speedcube but a trick prop. You show a scrambled cube, hold it in your hands, and in a split second all the faces are solved. The effect takes about a second and requires no solving skills at all, which is why it is listed in the unusual puzzles category rather than with the 3x3 cubes.

How this trick cube works

The transformation happens after a simple hand movement, with no visible turning of the layers. To onlookers it looks as if the stickers changed colour by themselves. The effect relies on a hidden magnetic mechanism. We won't reveal exactly how it works here, because the whole fun is that your audience shouldn't figure it out. Practise the move a few times in front of a mirror or a camera before you perform the trick live. That way the transformation looks smooth and nobody can see what you're doing.

What it's great for

• Close-up shows, meaning magic up close, at the table or among friends.
• Short social media videos, where the "solved in a second" effect grabs attention instantly.
• A gift for someone who loves cubes or illusions and wants something different from yet another 3x3 cube.

What not to expect

This is first and foremost an illusion gadget. It can't be compared with magnetic cubes made for speedsolving. Corner cutting, tension adjustment or TPS simply don't apply here, and it's not a good cube for learning the beginner's method. If you want your child to learn how to solve a cube, buy them a regular 3x3 beginner cube and treat the RD Insta as an extra bit of fun.

Who is it for?

For cubers who want to surprise their friends, for anyone interested in magic with a puzzle cube, and for short-video creators. It also makes a great gift for someone who already owns a few speedcubes and is looking for something unusual.
