    Default Rubik's Magic Average of 5: 0.88



    And there were no wrist stops, as far as I know.
    Times were 0.89, DNF, 0.83, 0.86, 0.89


    Yay, on camera. Better get this at competition before 2012 ends.

    First 0.78 in the second video is a +2, Patrick Jameson has a video where it happened. And applies to the other solves where it lands on something like the key board.

    Also use a mat, its too easy to pick up the magic without a surface underneath.

    Stopping looks good. Do it like this in comp and you shouldn't get penalties.

    I don't think it's a +2 if it lands on something in the background... there obviously wouldn't be a laptop there in a competition, so the solve would be fine. And I agree, it's harder to pick up the magic without a stackmat. A stackmat sort of keeps the magic still.

    Anyways, great job, and the timer stop looks fine too

    There is less friction while picking it up, its hard to explain but for me its a lot easier almost like solving on a chair pad or something.

    So is it a +2 if a small part of it is on the timer after you finish the solve?
