Good, but at about 1:08, if you have a 1986 magic where the rings have different gradients on each ring, then tiles 4 and 5:

1234
5678

can be swapped but look the same on the front, so turn it over so you end up with

5678
1234

and if 5 1 and 2 do NOT make 3/4 of a solved ring, swap tiles 4 and 5.
