The Death of Magic

- Back in the nethertimes of cubing, there were two very controversial events: the Rubik's Magic, and the Master Magic. After some debate, they were eventually removed from the list of sanctioned events. Why did they do that?
Broke regulations because:
• Starts with magic in hands
• Uses keyboard, not stack-mat
• Scrambled Megaminx in background
Little did you know, the only regulation he broke was having a scrambled Megaminx in the background.
Do a history on why the Speedstack Timers became the official timers of a WCA competition.
michael1234252 yes
I think it would also be cool to explain what advancements they made from gen 3-5 and why they made them
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
YES
That last thing is scary
Cubing 101 ikr
No it’s hilarious.
CooLite how is it
Dont forget to wear ur helmet 🔫
don't forget to wear your helmet :)
I didn't get the joke
.
Lmao
@@adityarajsrivastava6580 Safety isn't a joke.
Lol
That was worth the watch just for the song at the end
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. :)
1:57 But isn’t the 2x2 a super fast event too? Wouldn’t it be hard to judge 2x2 solves?
It is, but there are other reasons to keep 2x2 in that magic did not have; for one thing, it can actually be scrambled.
The last bit was scary
*iconic
Funny*
Lol. You have to include that confused guy in the red shirt every video, eh?
He's just so perfect and pure
another great video. Idk where you get all your info but I love it.
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
still, the magic is just a test to see how dexterous you are. it is FAR too easy to break a magic.
@@zachnado69gan magic when
@ TRUE
watched the whole ad, cuz you deserve dat revenue for keeping up with our history c:
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.)
Obviously a Rubik’s Magic is so ridiculously easy that there was basically no point of it being a WCA event at all.
I can't solve my megaminx, but it doesn't matter. Can anyone do it faster?
AMathMonkey I solved mine in 0.00 seconds. My timer actually didn’t start, but it doesn’t matter. Can anyone do it faster?
i just watched all of your videos i can guarantee that you will become big in the future
They should mix up the magic! Then the solvers should bring it to the 3 rings then link them!
@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"
click the video, like, watch, cause they are always good. :)
Those Magic’s broke so easily, I remember opening one new on comp day and breaking it immediately
rip
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.
this channel should have way more subs
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.
the breakage issue is still present in that case
@@aguyonasiteontheinternet yes, but if the other issue is fixed, i don't see that being any more of an issue as popping is for all cubes
@@gareno6713 …did you not watch the video? restringing a magic takes forever compared to putting pieces back into a puzzle after a pop. unless a company makes a speedsolving version of it that doesn’t have this problem, this will be yet another tally into the reasons why magic never deserved to be an event
@ idk, it’ll prob never happen but i just think itd be cool to see
Would you make a video about 3x3 with feet?
I didn't even know that last clip when excited
1:26 ah shit, here we go again
3:44 that's gonna give me nightmares
I swear they have to replace it with like the snake
TH-cam, why is this in my recommended?
+Trevor James Consideracion Because reasons. Hello.
Maybe a magic that's 3 orders higher than the Master Magic.
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
The category is cars and automobiles for the video
How does the scrambled Megaminx in the background break the regulations?
R/wooosh
It's called a joke
There is also a 0.56 magic solve that is real
I'm so sad about that I got the NY record
And yet clock is still somehow an event
its a pretty good event
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..
He's saying it can't be scrambled because notation doesn't exist
This video is 3.47 seconds long
oh hey that's me at 1:23
so basically it's like cup stacking
There should have been actual scrambles for magics
At least off that son i supossed he would said ".. and don't forget too subscribe" not "wear Helmet" XD
Do the origin of the Skewb event
skyoob
Great video
Why!?
Jokes on you. For CubingUsa 2018, Magic and Master Magic are events.
Source? I went to the website for the competition (I'm assuming this is Nationals) and I couldn't see it.
can u actually talk about all other events that became dead? like rainbow cube and siamese
Non-wca puzzles?
@@junienet they used to be wca events
Kloopstomp made the Mammoth Master Magic and Grand Master Magic.
Woah woah woah, is someone throwing shade at sport stacking? Lol
He's just saying that they're both dexteroty tests
Do you cube also?
Does istackok cube also
2:01 nice
like curving space and time
Bruh, if there keeping clock at least bring back the magic
this iss ggggooood the helmet part was creppy but also funny at the same time LOL🤗😋😊🤣🤣🤣🤣🤓😗🦁🐮🐮🦄🐮🐄
Cool I loved magic
The Yellow Master Magic
rip magic. i still own both of them.

There are lots of bad things in history though, Hitler and Stalin are pretty major parts of a lot of history courses.
