One of my favorite toys was Rubik's Magic Puzzle. Sort of a Jacob's Ladder on steroids. It was made of 8 independent squares connected by bands that allowed the squares to move and change position relative to each other. The object was to take the puzzle from a 2 x 4 rectangle with three rings to the image on the left.
Other configurations were possible including 3 dimensional such as loop and a "fish" (image on right).
It was created byErnő Rubik and came out in the 80's. Like the cube there were speed competitions. Below is a video showing the solution and a one-handed 2 second attempt. I would love to have one again.
