My attempt at explaining how to solve the Rubik's cube blindfolded (Pochmann method). Its one of the few tutorials on how to do this on YouTube... and now I know why: because its really hard to make one :) Also, you really need to practice this method to get it down, because there are many things to keep in mind. I think I covered them all though. As always, don't hesitate to ask questions, I'm sure I left out some stuff. :(
OUTLINE start - solving EDGES and all important concepts 9:39 - breaking into new cycles 11:18 - brief summary 13:00 - solving CORNERS 16:50 - PARITY fix 19:00 - Example solve and MEMORIZATION 27:00 - Example solve execution 29:02 - Closing comments

(note that Jb and Ja have to be executed while holding the cube a little differently. its as if they required their own little setup moves as well)

@ 10:45 to 11:00: Couldn't your setup move be x, do a U-perm, and then do x'? It seems a lot simpler if you know PLL already. But this is Pochmann's method, and that's the way he does it. Needless to say, doing a U-perm would require little effort, as it should be, for all cubers, one of the first PLLs you learn, am I right?
The best thing to do in your case is to learn PLL. This is the last step in the Fridrich method, but it is required here that you know PLL in order to do the necessary swaps. Also, once you learn those PLLs (not all 21, may I remind you), your overall solve should be much better sighted.

Do I give up?
I don't think i can solve it blind. :S
They are the names of the algorithms

Great tutorial! One of the best I've ever seen!
Keep on going!
5/5.
