Magic?

Magic is STUPID.

I see an obvious cancellation

My point was that in magic the challenge is gone

Okay, go break a world record then.

That's possible with some practice, at least the average one is easy(ier).

@fanwuq
That's cool, but it'll be even cooler if it all cancels out.

i, sadly, had the same thought pop into my head.

So have someone mess up your magic at a competition 3 minutes before you're supposed to go up to compete and see if you don't think it's a decent puzzle then. I've had a couple of really stressful magic solves before, in that kind of situation. (Actually, usually master magic; magic usually isn't all that hard to solve no matter what, but master magic can be.) And having to fix a string is also a pretty good puzzle sometimes.

 

[moogra]

The puzzle sucks in the beginning. It doesn't get intense until the end which is around sub-1 and perhaps a little lower.
I can't do master magics. It breaks when I touch it.

No thread about how stupid the Magic-event is, is complete without mentioning "ball-in-cup"

 

[Ellis]

I'm all for an official ball-in-cup event.

I don't want to make another thread, but are there a few times that are hard to get?
I've never gotten .99, .98, or 1.01.
Are these really hard? I've gotten hundreds of .97, .96, etc. but never those.

Even on WCA:
http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/e.php?i=magic
http://www.worldcubeassociation.org...gionId=&years=&show=All+Persons&single=Single

There's many 0.97 and that was actually the first sub-1 I've ever gotten.

Were you saying you didn't want to make another thread because there already has been one? I don't have a stackmat or a magic, but thought you might want to look at that.
