Hello everyone. I just got my magic 3 days ago and I've been practicing. My PB is 1.94 s with avg 2.35 s. I don't have a stack mat (yet) so I just use a book as my "mat" and my keyboard's spacebar. My question is this: what are some specific tricks I can use to improve my time? Currently, I do the twist in the air (obviously), but I need to do the flips on the ground. I noticed in the faster times they always do the whole thing in the air and when it drops it's done.
How to improve with the magic?

I think I put up a video of how to solve it on YouTube a few years ago. Better solvers have also put up videos...

So what you're saying is you do the twist, flip it over, then do the flips? I would recommend doing the whole thing in the air without flipping it over, like this.

For me, the motion is really easy. It's the lift that is a problem. When i lift it, I fear I'll snap a string or two.

You are referring to the advanced method. YouTube it.

Thanks everyone! I got just what I was looking for (a way to do it in the air). So in this vid, for example, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp2oWfFFcfI), is he doing just that or is there more going on?
