Rubik's Magic: Master Edition

Rubik's Magic: Master Edition (also known as Master Magic) is a mechanical puzzle invented by the Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik and first manufactured by Matchbox in 1987. It is a modification from the Rubik's Magic first published in 1980. The difference is that Master Magic consists of 12 square tiles, while Rubik's magic has only 8 tiles.[1]

The goal of the game is no different than Rubik's Magic, which is to fold the puzzle from a 2 × 6 rectangular shape into a W-like shape with a certain tiles arrangement. Initially, the front side shows a set of 5 linked rings. After solved, the puzzle is in the shape of a W letter, and shows 5 unlinked rings on the back side of the previous initial state.[2]
