Pros: -It can be used for speedsolving.
-Good quality plastic and strings.
-Pretty much exactly the same as the Rubiks brand Magic.
Cons: -Strings come off if you force it or go to fast (Mine came off trying to get under 2 seconds).
-If it comes apart and no matter how much you try you cant put the strings back on, you can make a couple of 2x2 magics.
-Nothing much else...
Other Thoughts: -Buy it, You wont regret!
Bottomline: -It is well worth it, whether you are serious, or just collecting.
-Buy this Rubik's Magic replica! You wont regret it!

Pros: It's cheaper than the kind you can buy in a store. If you just want to own a magic, then this is a good start.
Cons: Fragile -- it's easy to "break," but this is true of all magics if you don't know what you're doing. Being a beginner, I broke the puzzle the first day I got it. I spent many hours restringing the puzzle. Usually when the puzzle "breaks" it's just that the strings are no longer attached to this panels. You can fix it, it just takes a lot of time and effort. Just look for a tutorial on how to restring a magic if you break it.
Also, if you are used to playing with other magics, you might have to rotate the puzzle 180 degrees to apply your solution.
Other Thoughts: A lot of people who are into speedcubing don't like this puzzle because there is only one "unsolved" state, so you memorize the solution and competitions are basically how fast you can execute the optimal solution. But for non-speedcubers, it's a fun and potentially annoying puzzle. If you just fold the puzzle randomly you might get it stuck for quite some time!
Bottomline: If you want a magic, this is a good starting point.
Very nice!!

Pros: For all i know this is a genuine Rubik's puzzle.It certainly feels genuine.It's quality is pretty awesome and looks great.This is a very nice puzzle and quite interesting and will surely keep you occupied.As far as i can tell ,you will not have any trouble with it.
The price is excellent.Mine arrived in a perfect condition despite the long journey coming to Europe
Cons: None that i can think of right now.
Other Thoughts: I have no other thoughts except that I 'm very happy with my purchase.
If my magic broke i would definitely order another one in a hurry
Bottomline: It's a great puzzle and it's price is reasonable !Maybe some think that this isn't genuine but this doesn't seems to be the case here.Can't wait to order the 12 panel magic.
Buy it and have fun !
It is the real deal.

Pros: This it the real deal.
I used to play with this when I was a kid and just had to get it again. I was not disappointed. However, its still frustrating as heck so that's the only thing I can complain about. The quality is great and it feels the same way as the original.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Same logo, same quality feel, same hard time to solve it.
Bottomline: If you ever had one as a kid, or know anyone that likes games or puzzles, I actually prefer this way way way more than the cube. Play with it for awhile and then give it to someone for Christmas.
