Incredible Instant Insanity Prediction by Doug Gorman
(c. 1967,2012) (Submit Review) (Submit Update)This is made beautifully by Doug Gorman and right up there with Mel Babock in quality. The Instant Insanity puzzle was created by Frank Armbruster and published by Parker Brothers c. 1967.
Effect: The apparatus comes with two routines. The “Selbit’s Magic Blocks” routine is a winner – quick, easy, and baffling, with no shells, no difficult “moves,” and sparingly little to memorize. And believe me, NO ONE will know how it’s done. The “Instant Insanity” routine, on the other hand, includes a statistical narrative sure to cure insomnia.
The “Instant Insanity” puzzle consists of four cubes with faces colored with four colors (commonly red, blue, green, and white). The objective of the puzzle is to stack these cubes in a column so that each side (front, back, left, and right) of the stack shows each of the four colors. The distribution of colors on each cube is unique.

I Want One!
This may not qualify as a "review," as I’ve never owned the pictured effect – but I sure will if Doug ever makes more! Apparently this beautiful set is a "one-off." That’s a shame, because Instant Insanity is an excellent effect; but most available versions are made like plastic toys.
Thanks for posting this, Andy – even though I can’t buy one, it’s good to know it’s out there. And Doug . . . BUILD MORE!

After a Closer Look . . .
I previously reviewed this prop based on pictures and a general knowledge of the routine. Subsequently, I had the good fortune to purchase this very piece on Quality Magic, and I like it even more in person.
Doug Gorman’s craftsmanship is outstanding – Mel Babcock quality. This is a beautiful close-up prop, but it’s too small for stage. Doug? Mel? Jay? Won’t one of you build a stage-size version?

This beautiful walnut prop is a one-off, but you can buy a plastic version for under $20.
