Das Kubus Speil

Postby vic_vdb » May 25th, '05, 13:56



Hi,

I wonder if anyone out there knows what this trick is called in English?

It consists of two sets of six numbered cubes which have a tube placed over them. Whatever order is set on the first six cubes appears on the second, the second appearing to mirror the first whenever the order is changed.

Spoke to the chap who uses this and he says he purchased it from a Dutch firm (in German) and that he doesn't know what it would be called in English, nor who markets it these days.

Any help with this would be gratefully received,

Vic
