Beginner to blindfold cubing!

I'm not only a beginner but have never heard of it. Wow, I didn't even think this would be possible. I'm pretty darn good at doing the cube with eyes open but c'mon, blindfolded. You guys are good!

It may sound daunting at first, but learning to solve the cube blindfolded is actually not very difficult. It's very rewarding and can also give you a better understanding of how the cube works. You should give it a shot. :)
 
Yeah, BLD is really fun and very rewarding!

And a method like Old Pochman is actually not hard to learn at all.
With just three PLL algs like T, Y and R-perm (for parity fix) you are good to go!
Proper execution is the hard part!

I agree! I'm averaging like 15 secs and 50 secs one handed(sucks I know). Though I really respect all of the blind cubers. Being able to memorize all of the pieces keeping track where they go and the case. I started learning 2x2 blind I Can do Orientation perfectly. Though when it comes to permutation I'm lost XD to many numbers with set-up moves.
so overall good job blind cubers!!
 
2x2 blind

just do 2x2 speed BLD. It's pretty manageable with Ortega, or LBL/CLL.
Yeah I have issues with memorization... I don't want to do 2x2 speed BLD yet until I can do regular 2x2 blind. I'm doing 2x2 so this way I can eventually learn 3x3 blind. I'll usually end up with a case for permutation like 1523748. How can you memorize this.. it's confusing..

You could memorise with letters instead and make words out of them. Number are pretty bad to work with, even people that are able to memorise number incredibly well either convert them into images or words.

Hmm that seems alot easier. Too many numbers XD confuses me. Zane for the setup moves just memorize?

An easier Alot? Hmm.

On topic: When I try to do set-up moves, I use keywords for them. A word for L/L' and other moves. Or I just memorize.
 
I never said that doing 2x2 speed blind would teach him anything about solving the 2x2 blindfolded using a conventional BLD method. I wouldn't call it nonsensical to use speed BLD for 2x2, seeing as it his how most people solve the 2x2 BLD anyway.
