Look at the most magic 4x4x4 cube of Walter Trump.





It consists of 4x4 cells in each of the 4 levels and the numbers 1 up to (4x4x4=) 64 are in it. I have numbered the cells as follows:
 

The possible magic features of a magic cube are:

[All rows in each level]  give the magic sum (in each of the levels I, II, III and IV: a1+a2+a3+a4 = b1+b2+b3+b4 = c1+c2+c3+c4 = d1+d2+d3+d4 = magic sum)

[All columns in each level]  give the magic sum (in each of the levels I, II, III and IV: a1+b1+c1+d1 = a2+b2+c2+d2 = a3+b3+c3+d3 = a4+b4+c4+d4 = magic sum)

[Symmetric]  In a symmetric magic cube each time addition of two digits, which can be connected with a straight line through the centre of the magic cube and which are at the same distance to the centre, gives the same sum. The centre of a(n even, for example the) 4x4x4 magic is the virtual crosspoint of the middle 2x2 cells of the second and third level. For example II b2 + III c3 = II b3 + III c2 = II c2 + III b3 = II c3 + III b2 = proportional part (= 1/2) of the magic sum ór I a1 + IV d4 = I a2 + IV d3 = I a3 + IV d2 = I a4 + IV d1 = proportional part (= 1/2) of the magic sum.

[half of]  the rows/columns/diagonals in each level or pillars/space diagonals through the levels give half of the magic sum. 

• Simple magic cubes have the red marked (see above) magic features.

• Diagonal magic cubes have the red & orange marked (see above) magic features

• Pantriagonal cubes have the red & yellow marked (see above) magic futures

• Pandiagonal magic cubes have the red & orange & pink marked (see above) magic features. 

• Perfect (Nasik) magic cubes have the red & orange & pink & yellow marked (see above) magic features. 

• More than perfect magic cubes have red & orange & yellow & [part of the] green marked (see above) magic features.

Order 3 is simple magic. Diagonal magic cubes exist from order 5 and up. Pantriagonal magic cubes exist from order 4 and up. Pandiagonal magic cubes exist from order 7 and up. Nasik perfect (= pandiagonal & pantriagonal) magic cubes exist for odd orders from order 9 and up and for order 8, 16, 24, 32, …
