How to make a Rubik's Magic String

In this tutorial, I show you how to make a string for your Rubik's Magic, out of common fishing line.

What you'll need:
1. Some fishing line
2. Scissors
3. Tape
4. Yard or meter stick

Steps:
1. Cut about 25 inches (63.5 cm) of fishing line
2. Make an over hand knot at one end of the fishing line
3. Put the overhand knot on the 0 mark of the yard/meter stick
4. Tape the fishing line down to the meter stick
5. Go to the 17 and 3/4 inch (45.085 cm) mark on the yard/meter stick
6. Make another overhand knot just before the 17 and 3/4 inch (45.085 cm) mark
7. Take the tape off the fishing line
8. Tie the two overhand knots together in a circle using a square knot
9. Cut off excess string sticking out of the overhand knot
10. Congratulations, you have just made your first Rubik's Magic String!

@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.

[McNibbler]

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