Talent show ideas?

[ComputerGuy365]

I want to do something cubing in my school talent show but im unsure what to do exactly. I can't do BLD.

If you have any difficult puzzles, then you can solve them and show off

Consider whether there is a time limit. If you are fast enough at big cubes then you can do that but otherwise I wouldn't because it can be a bit boring to watch a few minutes of twisting especially if they can't see you up close. If you can do OH relatively fast that would be ok. But, judging from your sig, I would probably just stick with a couple of 3x3 solves.

You should learn 3BLD for next time because it's really impressive to non-cubers.

You could start off by explaining the fact of them not learning anything by watching, maybe explain how a 'traditional' 3x3 is done, then proceed to show off and solve

You should lip-sync Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen while baking banana bread in an Easy-Bake Oven that you are holding on your lap while you pogo-stick in a seated position such that you can adequately work on your Rubik's Cube watercolor.

I'd donate a nominal 2 dollars to charity to see that.

you could try solving your rubik's cube, that might be a good idea.

Keep in mind that you probably only have like 2 or 3 minutes to perform and people probably won't even be able to see the cubes, maybe 2-4 relay?

...and also these days many people have seen speedsolving stuff on youtube, so not as many are impressed with solving a 3x3 imho... so maybe 2-3-4 or something is good (as was suggested)

What about side events? My friends think that the megaminx and pryaminx are pretty cool. Or maybe do skewb, or sq 1

People only really know 3x3 so I'd probably stick with that. Maybe multiple cubes in a set time or with your breath held for a bit of excitement.

Simon Westlund won Sweden's Got Talent with feet in 1st round, multiple 3x3 with OH for the last cube in the next round and blind in the final iirc but he's fast at all those disciplines.

 

[GuRoux]

if you can do blind in a reasonable time and accuracy, thatt would be pretty impressive.

I like this one better:

I read this and I thought OH on the pogo-stick but I guess painting is kinda cool.

Either feet solve or with chopsticks.

i second this motion

Thanks for all the help guys! I'm probably just gonna do some sort of relay of puzzles.

If you can play piano and OH - Play piano and OH at the same time (I did this for my school's talent show...)

How did the show go?
