[xxESIMENExx]

Pro tip: use needle to adjust.

[MultiStori1]

Do you speak Russia ?

[pcwizcube]

@MultiStori1 If you mean Russian, then no, I do not speak Russian.

[airgear1977]

@pcwizcube zdarova kak dela man!!!

[joeymanirockoutloud]

@1010Aab 13"

[joeymanirockoutloud]

@Guinepigsrock 13"

[joeymanirockoutloud]

@pcwizcube what type of fishing sting should I use (I mean like 6lb 10lb etc)

[pcwizcube]

@joeymanirockoutloud I have no idea - I don't know anything really about fishing line, sorry.

[MaRsaNTM]

4:29 that is also what she has previously mentioned

[McNibbler]

Would six pound line work? If not, I might be able to use 10 lbs

[pcwizcube]

@McNibbler I have no idea (don't know about fishing line strengths), sorry

[Screenamerockz]

your voice is similar to the one that says Congratulations you won! on those ads

[1ice2cream3truck4]

What kind of string is that? Can I use nylon?

[pcwizcube]

@1ice2cream3truck4 It's fishing line. Maybe you could use nylon - I'm not sure. I think it would have to be pretty thin though.

[LOLSIDELKOL]

if we break one string how could we know wich one is that string



[pcwizcube]

@LOLSIDELKOL If you look in between the tiles of the magic, there should be two sets of strings crossing each other between each of the tiles. If there's only one set of strings crossing each other than you're missing a string.

[KILLER76522]

1:05 thats what she said

[1010Aab]

What about the Mini Magics?

Good video!

[pcwizcube]

@1010Aab thank you! Uh I have no idea how long the string would have to be for the mini magics, sorry

[Hylkinder]

how big is a rubiks magic



[pcwizcube]

@Hylkinder 210mm (length) by 105mm (width) when in the standard starting position

[Hylkinder]

@pcwizcube May you tell me how big the notches on the bottom that turn the string and look like a triangle are?

[pcwizcube]

@Hylkinder I guess about 2-3mm?

[Hylkinder]

@pcwizcube Can you make a video on how to insert paper in the tiles?

[pcwizcube]

@Hylkinder well the only way is to take the magic all apart, and put in the papers, and then restring the magic.

[Hylkinder]

@pcwizcube But how do you insert the paper?

[pcwizcube]

@Hylkinder Take apart the magic. Like separate all the strings and tiles. A tile has two sides to it. Pull the two sides apart and then you can put a paper in it.

[pcwizcube]

@freako9595 Sorry, I don't have a cubetwist :(

[trendsportler1000]

[trendsportler1000]

[pcwizcube]

[Guinepigsrock]

[pcwizcube]

@Guinepigsrock no, sorry, I don't.

[Guinepigsrock]

should Imake the sting shorter

[pcwizcube]

@Guinepigsrock I don't know, I never used a mini magic. but I suppose you would have to make it shorter. but I don't know the exact length.

[Guinepigsrock]

i have a mini magic im trying to string I broke a string how would i make mini magic string

[pcwizcube]

@Guinepigsrock sorry, I don't know :(

[Kokiri971]

huh, it looks like someone's mouse wasn't working and they accidentally clicked the "dislike" button. This video was very helpful! Thank you!!

[49cents49]

You used a lot of "You wanna". Lol

Great vid btw.

[NayannnnxD]

i love your lisp, good video tho!

[BluePi1313]

YES! FINALLY! Hmm... 17 thousand views, 48 likes and 0 dislikes. The good thing with that is it's stronger than a manufactured string.

[pcwizcube]

@BluePi1313 you probably have some strong fishing line then.  my fishing line is pretty weak.

[adric137]

interesting

[dillonblade]

i use 17lb fishing line, if that's any help...

[Jebediah2]

What strength of fishing line would you suggest?

[pcwizcube]

I have no idea, I don't know anything about fishing line. If you know the strengths, just try to find one as close as possible to the strength of a normal manufactured magic string. Hope that helps.

[narutoball01]

how to make a string when i dun hav a fishing line

[pcwizcube]

I don't know, maybe it's possible with something else but I only know how to make it with fishing line.

You can go to the online hknowstore (search it up on Google) and when you search "magic string" in the online shop you can buy like 20 magic strings for $4.99 USD I think.

[manx1324]

@narutoball01 try dental floss

[LNOL]

That's not a square knot, dude... that's a granny knot.

[patriciocube]

Thanks, today I make the 16 strings.

I don 't have a credit tarjet to order the products.

Thanks for all.

[patriciocube]

Hello, I am from Argentina. Here doesn't exist this puzzle, and I want to make one. Can you give me the sizes of each square? the 16 strings have the same size?

[pcwizcube]

Each side of the square is about 5.3 centimeters. And yes, all 16 strings are the same size.

And you could order a Rubik's Magic from online. You could get it from rubiks[dot]com or 9spuzzles[dot]com

[SasoriRocks988]

now my strings got tangled and i toook then all out none broke except the one tht borke before i can put it back together i used your tutorial but its hard

[SasoriRocks988]

what if one of my strings snapped and i dont think if it affected anything what sould ido leave it or...

[pcwizcube]

Well usually for me, it starts to interfere with the functioning of the magic. I would just take it out; it's easy because the string is broken.

[pcwizcube]

I have a full tutorial on how to restring your Rubik's Magic, look at my other videos.

[Mindstormscreator]

pretty cool, thanks :)

[ogetbilo]

nice work man. you are saving money for lots of people. really, thanks!

[ThieflordZ5]

Awesome... now I don't have to be careful about the strings snapping =)

[pcwizcube]

Errr... you still should. Making magic strings are a pain.

[ThieflordZ5]

True, but now I don't have to wait until CS or something like that is in stock =)

[oliverpresman]

thanks!

do u or anyone know how big the individual squares on a rubik's magic are? cause i was thinking of making one a rubiks magic.

measurements please? thanks

[pcwizcube]

Each side is 2 inches long.

[gotmilk460]

i thought u were just going to tape the string together. dude u rock!!!thx alot!\

[putsy911]

thank you sooooooo much. i finally fixed my magic

[MagicRaistlin]

Awesome thanks! I only need to make 2 Woo!!

[gothone666]

were can i find that really thin string?

[pcwizcube]

It's fishing line, go to a fishing store or go to a store that sells fishing supplies.

[garmiesterpoo]

Thankyou, I broke a string yesterday.

[ruiruivo83]

whats this for?

[pcwizcube]

It's a string required for a Rubik's Magic to function.

[Henkeace]

do í have to do more strings to fix a hhole magic?

[pcwizcube]

You need 16 strings to properly fix a Rubik's Magic.

[Henkeace]

oooohhh

[natsworld4]

so what if one of the strings on the magic breaks, but the magic still works? is that goo or do i have to fix the string and put it all back together?

[Henkeace]

fix the string!!!!!!!! plz plz dude!

[pcwizcube]

I'm sorry I'm not sure what you're saying.

[Henkeace]

NATSWORLD04?

[pcwizcube]

Oh sorry nvm

[Henkeace]

np lol

[pcwizcube]

If it still works, then use that. But it will be not as strong so if I were you I would add the string into the magic.

[natsworld4]

ok, you were right. me and my friend know how to do the faster solve for the magic, and we decided to see who could do it faster, and it broke right when it was his turn. i was actually planning on making this but i decided to just buy another one.

[dgregh]

hey, I was wondering what size string you use. I went to the store to get some and they had so many different diameters, I was wondering what is closest to the actual magic string if you know.

[pcwizcube]

I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about.  I just use a roll of the thin, whitish greyish fishing line. I think any thickness of the string that won't break too easily should be well. I would suppose it should withstand at least 25 pounds.

[ovechkin651]

no, i mean to say is if i broke my rubik's magic, how can i fix it without getting extra string or working with what i already have.

[pcwizcube]

I'm not sure what you mean by that. Just restring it with as many strings you have....

[ovechkin651]

can you make a video of how to refix your rubik's magic after you restring it to be 1 x 8.

[pcwizcube]

I already made a video tutorial on how to do that. Check my "How to Restring a Rubik's Magic - Part 2" video.

[richard9831]

Can the old rubiks magic string work.

[pcwizcube]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by that.  Would you care to explain?

[richard9831]

If your magic breaks, can you use the left over string

[pcwizcube]

Yes, of course. But you should have 16 strings to string your magic with.

[peacecuber]

wow thanks

[Samlambert92]

Thanks a lot! Exactly what I needed!

[boogerboy477]

wat do u use it 4?

[pcwizcube]

You use a Rubik's Magic string to string a Rubik's Magic

[purplerain0403]

are you able to make a rubix magic with it?

[pcwizcube]

You're able to string a Rubik's magic with it, if that's what you mean.

[CharlesOBlack]

Wow, this was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks, pc.

[Ihaterubikscubes]

thanks

[pcwizcube]

Your welcome =)

[Raawn]

Nice work

[pcwizcube]

Thank you! =)

[Mozza314]

What is the string used for? :S

[therubikscuber]

to restring your magic
