Good luck

I saw in the ad that there was some kind of magic with the rubik's cube, so I bet it's 'Rubik's Cube Magic'.

The OP is the guy in this video:

I was thinking about this a while ago when I watched the show. If I went on, I would just do a normal BLD solve, telling them everything I'm doing honestly. They would be trying to find some sort of misdirection or trick, but actually, I'm just doing a legit BLD solve. I think that would fool them.

OMG, those tricks on the show were amazing! I'm so happy that a fellow cuber actually fooled those judges! The one second solving and getting the cubes in the same state were probably my favourites

I think to pull it off, you'd need to be solidly sub-1, and very consistent. Imagine what would happen if you DNF-ed.

Did someone record it?

There's a video in a Facebook group, but that's about it.

My first thought when I saw this thread...

I wonder how much thought was put into that trophy design....

Still amazing magic, really confidently performed.

Awesome! I'd really love to watch the whole thing, though, not a heavily cut version... Didn't even get to see the guys guessing the tricks :-( And the beginning makes no sense as nothing happens with your and Penn's mixed cubes. And where do the cube in Teller's hand and the cube matching it come from?

That was excellent, thanks for posting the video! Congratulations Steven!

They didn't even bother guessing, after about 3 seconds they just told him that they were fooled.

That was awesome! Congrats!

That's in a weird bay both disappointing and awesome.

Great, thanks! Very nice routine, and well done! I love the cubing skill and knowledge involved.

I just hope that nobody takes your "I had to cheat in competitions" story seriously...
