problem with magic speedsolve

[m4a1]

hello forum,

i solve the magic on the "fast way" but i am still slow (around 3 - 4 seconds) and thats because the 2nd part, i can make the twist in around 0.80, but the rest takes me so long!

any advice how to improve my times?

 

[CuBeOrDiE]

just do it over and over. that's really all there is to it

You need to use Eric Limebacks method, I used to have a terrible avg. I would do the twist then put it down on my hand to do the flips. Your solve should all be one fluent (spelt wrong) motion.Try to keep the magic stationary and move your wrists around it, If you can imagine it.

I would advise that you start slow and build up your speed, like f2l, then as you practise you will get faster and the hand motions will become second nature, also work on the twist move, the twist takes me like .3 ish, if you want you can watch my tutorial, or maybe my fastest magic

To put it nicely.

Actually in my opinion yes, it actually is. The reason is because it's slightly thinner and therefore easier to grip.

I don't think you understood us correctly the first time you posted that link--that solve is a DNF, no questions asked.

No need to act like a know-it-all.... Let's see your best magic solve.

Otto, you just fail. Pity.

Oprah, really, stop being a noob, get your head out of your ass, and lurk moar. Useless posts are...useless. (Wow, xy=x actually works when y!=1) You're doin' it rong.

Stinko, you're just not getting the point--the solve was a DNF, and Oprah's nonexistent know-it-all stance is something he should prove? If you see the video, you can clearly see that the solve was a DNF. Otto is a joke. Oprah's just less of a joke.

People need to lurk. A lot.

Thanks, Oskar.
Just trying to point out the obvious!

To answer the OP's question, speedsolving magic requires you to break in the strings first--either fool around with the magic (which might result in it becoming disassembled, which is of course fixable), solve it loads of times, untimed; or hold it in "scrambled" position (with the three disconnected rings) and twists the outer sides.

I'm sorry I can't post a video describing this--my magic is disassembled, missing three strings.

EDIT: Fixed the spoiler tags.
