The Death of Magic

[@cosmicjenny4508]

Broke regulations because: • Starts with magic in hands • Uses keyboard, not stack-mat • Scrambled Megaminx in background

[@howardbaxter2514]

Little did you know, the only regulation he broke was having a scrambled Megaminx in the background.

[@michael1234252]

Do a history on why the Speedstack Timers became the official timers of a WCA competition.

[@joeycubes68]

michael1234252 yes

[@poopydiaper5288]

I think it would also be cool to explain what advancements they made from gen 3-5 and why they made them

[@kyrawr83]

don't forget to wear your helmet :)

[@adityarajsrivastava6580]

I didn't get the joke .

[@ahxel8173]

Lmao

[@madeformario]

@@adityarajsrivastava6580 Safety isn't a joke.

[@InfinitySpeedcuber]

Lol

[@YouCubeParadigm]

Hey, how about the evolution of speedcubes? From which cubes introduced which traits, such as Screws, grooves, torpedoes, to how Valk uses hollow corners instead of rounded corners to reduce cornertwists without compromising cornercutting, and how Gans use the GES system to reduce springnoise etc. I am really facinated by how far we've come in refining the mechanism of the rubiks cube

[@muffingod1734]

YES

[@Littleton3513]

That last thing is scary

[@coolite5745]

Cubing 101 ikr

[@mkay2970]

No it’s hilarious.

[@ldgaming4213]

CooLite how is it

[@claptivity]

Dont forget to wear ur helmet 🔫

[@coolite5745]

1:57 But isn’t the 2x2 a super fast event too? Wouldn’t it be hard to judge 2x2 solves?

[@TheCubingHistorian]

It is, but there are other reasons to keep 2x2 in that magic did not have; for one thing, it can actually be scrambled.

[@AuntSteve]

That was worth the watch just for the song at the end

[@squaredancerpuzzles]

Love your videos so much, you do a great job at covering all sorts of puzzle-related stuff while keeping the spirit of The Internet Historian, whether it's through gud stock photos, humorous strings of text, or your great story-telling voice. :)

[@cubong9826]

The last bit was scary

[@McNibbler]

*iconic

[@BurnHD911]

Funny*

[@ishaanl7248]

Lol. You have to include that confused guy in the red shirt every video, eh?

[@TheCubingHistorian]

He's just so perfect and pure

[@xf4slv817]

Actually they should scramble the magic like the ring messed up and the shape too. And then you have to bring it back to, or the linked, rings or the solved rings. And then its an actual challenge

[@zachnado69]

still, the magic is just a test to see how dexterous you are. it is FAR too easy to break a magic.

[@cubemaster1987]

Glad I did both the magic and master magic in competition back in 2005 and 2006. I’m in the archives forever. ( until they just erase it.)

[@herrreinsch]

click the video, like, watch, cause they are always good. :)

[@damianwilding]

another great video. Idk where you get all your info but I love it.

[@AMathMonkey]

I can't solve my megaminx, but it doesn't matter. Can anyone do it faster?

[@Julio974]

AMathMonkey I solved mine in 0.00 seconds. My timer actually didn’t start, but it doesn’t matter. Can anyone do it faster?

[@gareno6713]

I wonder, if somebody actually made notation for Magic, and made a way to scramble it, would it be added again? It’d be cool to see it back again, as a kind of resurrected puzzle.

[@gabrielbarriosdeleon]

Would you make a video about 3x3 with feet?

[@twistiicuber1055]

watched the whole ad, cuz you deserve dat revenue for keeping up with our history c:

[@anthonymatute6057]

Obviously a Rubik’s Magic is so ridiculously easy that there was basically no point of it being a WCA event at all.

[@Isaac-lb1gl]

They should mix up the magic! Then the solvers should bring it to the 3 rings then link them!

[@zachnado69]

@Victor Giaquinto also, as the guy said, the magic has no notation, meaning it has no algorithms, meaning you have to just fiddle with it until you get it right. it also just might break during the "solve"

[@stets1183]

i just watched all of your videos i can guarantee that you will become big in the future

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

How does the scrambled Megaminx in the background break the regulations?

[@darrest9808]

R/wooosh

[@duffman18]

It's called a joke

[@dwiski]

1:26 ah shit, here we go again

[@stets1183]

this channel should have way more subs

[@minnesotacubes7911]

Those Magic’s broke so easily, I remember opening one new on comp day and breaking it immediately

[@TheCubingHistorian]

rip

[@madeformario]

I have a 40th anniversary edition of that that literally just broke after a few solves. I'm planning on fixing it, but like, I could watch youtube videos, practice actual cube events, stare at a wall to watch paint dry... so many more exciting things.

[@the6sides]

I didn't even know that last clip when excited

[@soIatido]

KZbin, why is this in my recommended?

[@TheCubingHistorian]

+Trevor James Consideracion Because reasons. Hello.

[@afewminuteswithchrispycubi8945]

Omg bob burton was the reason i got to visit new jersey. He was graduating rutgers and i couldnt miss that tourney. Actually the last i went to 2007

[@Christophersanchez1326]

I like the magic, it's a fun puzzle to play with. What do you mean you can't scramble it? Play with it with out looking and it can get to a what the scramble..

[@sludgecased]

He's saying it can't be scrambled because notation doesn't exist

[@graydenedson5951]

3:44 that's gonna give me nightmares

[@jacobr9623]

I swear they have to replace it with like the snake

[@joeycubes68]

There is also a 0.56 magic solve that is real

[@jainviswam]

This video is 3.47 seconds long

[@IAmZander]

I'm so sad about that I got the NY record

[@topfive8415]

can u actually talk about all other events that became dead? like rainbow cube and siamese

[@junienet]

Non-wca puzzles?

[@zachnado69]

@@junienet they used to be wca events

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

Maybe a magic that's 3 orders higher than the Master Magic.

[@calebyao.]

The category is cars and automobiles for the video

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

[@raywalsh4382]

[@molybd3num823]

[@249cubegame]

There should have been actual scrambles for magics

[@joeycubes68]

Cool I loved magic

[@margon9181]

Jokes on you. For CubingUsa 2018, Magic and Master Magic are events.

[@TheCubingHistorian]

Source? I went to the website for the competition (I'm assuming this is Nationals) and I couldn't see it.

[@MATAM29]

Kloopstomp made the Mammoth Master Magic and Grand Master Magic.

[@yperm300]
