i got this one by Tubing the word enchanted cube:

and this one searching for insta-cube:

23 quid or 40 quid....hmmm...why the big difference?

i checked the osterlind one, and he's blindfolded and completely solves the cube himself...

I tried to order the enchanted cube on Friday but as fate would have it they were out of stock. Perhaps it was my spirit guide influencing my earthly purchases again.

From my understanding you can hand out the Insta cube after you have solved it for examination. I do not think this is the case with the enchanted cube, There is definately a method documented but I really cant remember where I read it, this is by far the cheapest way, you only need to buy 2 standard cubes but you cannot hand it out afterwards. 8)

Also available at Alakazam going by the name of Insta cube for about 45 quid ish.
I personally think it would be just as impressive if you could do this in your hands in a matter of seconds. Does anyone know if this is achievable ?

If you let them mix it first? Only if you are really good and have a lot of practice ;)

I can solve a cube handed to me within 5 minutes...world record is about 21 seconds :P

You didn't say where you ordered from but cards for magic (http://www.cards4magic.co.uk) appear to have these in stock - check out their new lines page (scroll right down) for those in the UK.

Happy shopping :lol:

I don't know anything about the Enchanted Cube, but just in case anyone could be bothered to solve them the old fashioned way (no, not by taking them apart!) here's a couple of good links:
