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?

 

[cmhardw]

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.

 

[Sa967St]

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...
