if you have the magic flat and in the 2x6 form then you can use the hot dog thing to move some pieces, but also use this move. Flip the 2 ends in, pull one tile down on one side, up on the other, and then pull the ends out. That will rotate the magic around.
I just made the magic video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jhCKVbiboBE
If your name is not Stefan Pochmann the last part is not meant for you, but you can watch it anyway.
