Each of the blocks is arranged on the circumference of the central body, and each of the magnetic components 2 includes two magnets 21, and the two magnets 21 are respectively arranged between the central body and two adjacent blocks, and at least one magnet 21 is movably arranged in a receiving cavity a on the central body or the block. When the magic cube is reset, the magnet 21 located in the receiving cavity a moves under the magnetic force of another magnet 21, generating vibration, wherein each of the blocks includes one or more of the corner blocks 4, edge blocks 5, hidden edges 3 and the central block. Some of the magnets 21 of the magic cube of the present application are freely arranged in the receiving cavity a. In the process of rotating the magic cube to reset, the magnet 21 located in the receiving cavity a will flip and move under the action of other magnets, generating a ticking positioning sound, giving the player an audio feedback of the operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0045] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, an inner shell is provided on the inner wall of the edge block 5, and the inner shell encloses a receiving cavity a. A magnet 21 of the magnetic component 2 is provided in the receiving cavity a, and the other magnet 21 is fixed on the hidden edge 3, such as by glue. When the Rubik's Cube is in the reset state, the two magnets 21 of the magnetic component 2 are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0046] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the edge block 5 includes two half-prismatic shells, and the inner walls of the half-prismatic shells are provided with half-inner shells 511. When the two half-prismatic shells 51 are buckled together, the half-inner shells 511 of the two half-prismatic shells 51 are buckled together to form the accommodating cavity a.
