My method of rolling one up does involve "wrapping
the cord around hand & elbow", but you also need to
be walking on a flat solid surface with entire cord

Walking speed must exceed the effective cord

and two half-twists are done by the loose
wrist each loop, once at the elbow and
once at the other wrist.
