Discover the Wonders of Science with the National Geographix Science Majic Kit!

The National Geographic Science Magic Kit is a fun and interactive kit designed to teach children about different scientific principles and concepts through hands-on experiments and activities. It includes a range of materials and instructions for conducting various experiments, allowing children to explore fascinating scientific phenomena in a creative and engaging way. The kit includes a colorful and informative guidebook that provides step-by-step instructions for each experiment, making it easy for children to understand and follow along. It covers a wide range of scientific topics including chemistry, physics, and biology. Each experiment is designed to be both educational and entertaining, ensuring that children have a fun and memorable learning experience. Some of the experiments included in the kit involve creating chemical reactions, exploring the properties of water, and investigating the forces of motion.

The cube in a bag trick involves taking a scrambled Rubik’s Cube, showing it scrambled to the audience, and then placing it in a paper bag (which can also be shown to the audience), before removing the cube once again, this time solved.

You must keep the product you wish to return in your possession and take reasonable care of the product at all times while they are in your possession. In all performances of the trick, when the cube is removed from the bag solved, the bag is immediately discarded without the audience being able to see inside for a second time.

Some of the experiments included in the kit involve creating chemical reactions, exploring the properties of water, and investigating the forces of motion. These experiments are designed to spark curiosity and encourage children to ask questions and further explore the world of science. By conducting these experiments, children can develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while gaining a deeper understanding of scientific concepts.

Rubix cube mgic

Still torn between "enchanted cube" and "insta-cube". Can anyone give pros and cons for both? Can't decide which one I wanna get. Wish Garrett Thomas would release his, but it's not looking good.

I own both and prefer the Enchanted Cube.

Enchanted Cube pros: nothing to get rid of after the solution, very simple method, cube can be shown freely and examined (but not twisted!) before the solution, less expensive

Enchanted Cube cons: cube is not examinable after the solution

Insta-Cube pros: cube is examinable after the solution, cube can be shown freely in most circumstances before the solution

Insta-Cube cons: there is something to get rid of, slightly more difficult method, higher price

If you perform on stage, I strongly recommend the Enchanted Cube. If you work close up and make a big deal out of handing out props after you complete a routine, you should go with Insta-Cube. Overall, I believe the pros of the Enchanted Cube make it the better value.

Hey, thanks Curt! As of now, I'm leaning toward "insta-cube" It only takes me about a minute and a half to solve a cube nowadays, so reset would be very practical. I'm assuming the cleanup is not that "BIG" of a deal. So sl###ing would probably work. Am I on the right track with this?

Hi Curt, thanks that's just about spot on for a review between the two. Since I´m close up and I like to hand out stuff I better get the more expensive version Insta-cube.

One more question, I've read that insta-cube uses a different size cube than the standard one. Could the special something be applied to a standard rubiks cube? I have 3 of them and it would be great to be able to interchange the Gimmick. I had an idea of bringing out 2 cubes and handing them out. Have One of them thrown back to me. I then "attach" the "something" to my cube, while explaining that were gonna have a race to see who can solve it the quickest. I then stop them and say, ya know, it's not really fair, cause I use magic. BAM. then do insta cube. Would this be possible?

Hello
Insta Cube use standard rubik cube. The first version used 1984's rubik. Now, we build the trick with actual rubik cube.

Your cube solving skills shouldn't come into play unless something goes wrong.

What you propose for cleanup should work just fine, but you'll need to read the instructions and see the unit to work out exactly when and how everything needs to happen.

I think you have an idea of what's going on, so I'll just say that you couldn't do what you suggest with a standard Rubik's cube. The base Insta-Cube cube has had some work done to it.

Hey Curt thanks for the help One more thing, not sure if you could answer but..when the rubik's cube is handed out at the end for examination, is it a normal cube? Meaning if someone wanted, they could mix it up and solve it just like a normal one? If this border's the "exposure" line, just disregard. Thanks again Curt for your help.

For Insta Cube , the cube can be fully examined. You can mix it up and solve as just like normal one.

Thank you for the clarification indomagic. That's one thing that was gonna make my decision to buy or not. Thanks again.

The enchanted cube can be handed out as well, you simply "Mix" it up before handing it out. There is a problem though, if someone can quickly solve the cube they might try to solve this cube and will discover something is amiss.

Standard disclaimer: I'm just a hobbyist who enjoys occasionally mystifying friends and family, so my opinions should be viewed with this in mind.

The only thing that botheres me with the enchanted cube is, what if someone mixes it a little when they examine it afterwards. It's gonna be very hard to solve it again due to the whole principle of the "enchanted cube", just to be able to reset it for the next performance.

I personally wouldn't hand out the Enchanted Cube for examination before you solve it, but it is possible if you have good spectator management skills and trust your luck.

I'd save the Enchanted Cube for stage and parlor performances.

Again Curt, many thanks for your help buddy. Decided on insta-cube. I know I'm gonna like it

I like Enchanted Cube. I keep it for every venue and use it mostly as a filler. Nice and simple, can mix it up right after performance and hand it out for inspection. If you mess it up (and you will) its not a big deal taking it apart and putting it back together again once you get the hang of it.

About messing it up, you can have more then one handy so you can use the other one if needed. I always have two in my case for stage.

I always found this effect to be a bit dangerous in the sense that one mistake in solving the cube will result in an unrecoverable disaster. So, I came up with a presentation that enables me to openly use a "cheat sheet" that actually shows the moves required to "solve" it.

I say "I have a friend who is a Rubik's Cube world champion. He can solve any mixed cube in about 30 seconds. One day he offered to reveal his secret to solving the cube if I shared a secret of my own. I showed him how one of my tricks worked, and he gave me this . He claimed that this super secret solution exploits a flaw in the puzzle's design and will solve ANY mixed cube in only 5 moves!. Let's see. "

I then say "Man, I'll NEVER figure this darn thing out!" and immediately throw the cube the air to "solve" it. After I show the solved cube, I set it on the table, crumple up the cheat sheet and toss it over my shoulder in disgust.

What do you think?

Ooops -- was referring to Enchanted Cube in my previous post.

In addition to the guidebook and materials, the National Geographic Science Magic Kit also includes safety goggles and gloves to ensure that children can conduct the experiments safely. It is important for children to follow the instructions carefully and to have adult supervision while conducting the experiments. Overall, the National Geographic Science Magic Kit is a fantastic tool for introducing children to the world of science in a fun and interactive way. It allows them to engage with scientific concepts through hands-on experiments, promoting a love for learning and encouraging them to pursue further study in the field of science..
