Working on some New Rubik's Cube Magic!

Cool! :tu

I'm most interested in the first trick. The other ones seem much more obvious. If the first isn't done with some post-production tricks then you have me stumped

There are at least 11 green stickers on the first cube

The first one was extremely obvious to me, the second one I'm not particularly sure, but I'm speculating there's some contraption on the camera that does it.

Simple tricks well executed. The 2nd one is the same as below. I'd like to know the algs used.

Edit: Same trick, same person! I hadn't twigged.

My thoughts -

First trick - The cube has been moved a few times to make it look scrambled completely. He performs a few demo moves (as you can see by the green bar on the D face) which leaves the cube with three solved faces and three scrambled faces. By flipping the cube he shows you only the white, green and red faces to be solved, because the rest is scrambled.
If you watched this live, after a few seconds of awe you would ask him about the other three faces. However, by pointing to the floating cube he distracts you, and you forget about the first cube and completely miss the fact that you only ever saw three faces.
Second trick - Bit more obvious. Either the cube is caught by someone above him and a solved one is dropped (the cube appears to fall back down very fast after he threw it up) or he switches the cube whilst it's off screen down at the bottom.
Evidence for trick 2:
He has a table in front of him. He wouldn't just drop the first cube on to the floor, so he must have placed it on to a table. This strongly suggests there was a second cube that could have been switched whilst the cube was off screen.
Also, there must have been something above him, as the cube in the corner could dangle there. This strongly suggest that someone above him caught his first cube and dropped a second, solved cube down.
Source: I used to be into magic before I started cubing.

However, I must give praise as the tricks were performed flawlessly and I had to watch the video over several times to come to the conclusions I have above. Very efficient sleight-of-hand and much talent is shown.
Very well done!

EDIT- After watching the above video I am now completely stumped as to how the second trick worked. The suggestions I made would not have worked in the above environment.

I'm pretty sure trick 2 is just a very fast prepared solve performed behind the back. If you watch the cop video you can hear him do it.

I did think that at first, the cube was definitely not scrambled properly, but to do all those moves OH in a split second without being able to look?

Practise!

I tried to replicate the scramble but I could only see 3 sides. Maybe we need Brest. However I'm pretty sure you could get away with 5 or 6 moves which is doable.
He makes it look easy but I'll bet he's worked hard to do so.
