Magic prediction with the Rubik's Cube! How?

after reading through all said guesses, its a pretty impressive trick to get 10 pages of comments trying to speculate what he did and not coming up with anything immediately revealing

Personally, I'm with Mr. Pochmann on this. I don't see how it can be so outrageous to roughly guess what the time will be, and then drag the solve out to the desired result. The rest is just luck.

This^ and a rigged timer, set to stop at those specific times. Try starting and timer, and stopping exactly on 5.83, then 6.29. Chances are, with a little skill, you can get one of them, but not both. Also, he stops the timer as he finishes the solve. Has to be a rigged timer (preset to those two times) and some skill of stretching out the solves. Maybe also practised scramble, as that would make it a lot easier, but doesn't have to be.
 
Now if only he could do it with a lucky solve, or even a pop... then we would know for sure that those aren't just guesses or an edited video.

Wow, now I'm really stumped.
The new video is nuts! The guy is about to stop the timer, notices the last layer isn't aligned fully, fixes it, then really stops the timer.
 
This vid has me stumped and while I read through a lot of this thread I didn't read through it all, so if this has already been talked about please just forget it.

Has anyone mentioned the fact that he writes with his left hand but cubes in a right hand dominant way? I generally try and stay away from left-handed people because I think they are weird, so this may actually normal behavior for them, but I would think that a few more of his F2L pairs would be done with his left hand. I haven't figured out how this could reveal the secret to this trick, but it is odd enough that it may be something to think about..

I'm left handed and I can hardly do anything on a cube with my left hand.

Mixed handedness perhaps.

But does that explain anything?

I'm left-handed, and I cube mainly with my right hand. Seems normal to me.

edit: In the newest video, what timer is that?
