Hint: doublefold it, open both ends, form a cross

Really hard to explain, but you should be able to figure it out in a couple of minutes.

Craig has a guide on how to solve magic ball, I think.

I have been trying the whole day to understand the guide on jaaps page, but i still dont have any clue how to do it.Is there anyone who could make a youtube video or something?

I wouldnt try to get help, just try it out on your own for at least a week or smoething, i meen thats what puzzles are for right? My sqaure-1 is going to become a pile of pieces soon, im so frustrated, i have like 5 edges to permute

I dont want to start doing it on my own because i know i would mess it up and eventually break it because its messed up.

I have been trying to make it by myself now and i managed to get it so messed up that it took me 2 hrs to get it back to where it started (lol) so im pretty frustrated , anyone up for making a vid tut for it?

Normally I would say yes to making a quick tutorial like this, but in case of Magics I really won't. I don't like it when people treat a simple puzzle like Magics as the toughest thing there is.

Getting it flat is a matter of intuition and "feel" for the puzzle. Also, grouping tiles in pairs makes it easier.
Getting a magic from flat to rectangle is a matter of flipping.
Getting a magic from rectangle to solved is a matter of cycling using 2 basic techniques
Getting a magic from solved to "other solved" is a matter of setup-moves on the rectangle and changing the shape.

Have fun discovering Magic "as a puzzle"
