In this tutorial, I show you how to make a string for your Rubik's Magic, out of common fishing line.

What you'll need:
1. Some fishing line
2. Scissors
3. Tape
4. Yard or meter stick

Steps:
1. Cut about 25 inches (63.5 cm) of fishing line
2. Make an over hand knot at one end of the fishing line
3. Put the overhand knot on the 0 mark of the yard/meter stick
4. Tape the fishing line down to the meter stick
5. Go to the 17 and 3/4 inch (45.085 cm) mark on the yard/meter stick
6. Make another overhand knot just before the 17 and 3/4 inch (45.085 cm) mark
7. Take the tape off the fishing line
8. Tie the two overhand knots together in a circle using a square knot
9. Cut off excess string sticking out of the overhand knot
10. Congratulations, you have just made your first Rubik's Magic String!

    I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about. I just use a roll of the thin, whitish greyish fishing line. I think any thickness of the string that won't break too easily should be well. I would suppose it should withstand at least 25 pounds.
