Description:

This is a very rare custom made Magic Cross puzzle. Originally made in 1987, this new version of the Magic Cross is made in very small production runs by a small specialist puzzle manufacturer. 

This alternative version of the original Rubik's Magic Rings (8-panel) & later Rubik's Master Magic Rings (12-panel) puzzles is known as the "Magic Cross" because of the reverse side solution (see photo). This photograph shows the reverse side of the Magic Cross in its solved state. 

The front side solution is a 6 x 2 rectangular panel showing 4 linked rings in a row. 

The Magic Cross puzzle is a lot more interesting than the normal (8-panel) Magic Rings puzzle. After playing with the small one you soon find that the same shapes come back again and again. The 12-panel version has a much larger number of shapes and possibilities.
