Well, if I ever get into this problem, where the magic isn't in a solve state or it is not in starting position, I just playing around with it. I just twist where it's possible to twist and eventually, it goes back to normal.
there is a packet that comes with the store bought ones. i would recommend getting one of the magics from wal-mart or something- for the packet and then the other magic can be a back-up incase you break your C4U one.
just a thought...
