*promote awesome cubing/cheating. watch until the very end to see his award. Thats a priceless use of typography from P&T. I'm betting thats Penns idea.

Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued - promote requested by BicycleRepairMan.

There are some weird cuts in this version, unlike in the show, which kinda ruins the magic a bit.

I solve the cube at like a minute or so, so I'm not terrible at the cube, but Ive only caught one trick so far , at 1.57 he only solves the red/green/white side and leaves the blue/orange/yellow sides looking scrambled. he then simply flips the cube so it now looks solved, you can see he starts scrambling* right away so they wont catch him out.

*probably isnt scrambling but actually a trained sequence to get to the next trick.

Is it possible to solve 3 sides of a Rubik's cube whilst the opposite sides are scrambled?

I think he solves the cube in the bag when he reaches in to take it out. I wonder if he is doing the behind the back toss one the same way. I can only imagine that for the last trick he is able to eye up Teller's cube and "solve" his one to match, which would be pretty astounding even without all the sleight of hand.

Trick cubes is my only guess... WTF!

for the behind the back one, it seems like he's just picking up a new cube when his hand goes under the table after the catch.

All I saw was someone that had a tremendous amount of experience with Rubik's Cubes and very, very, fast sleight of hand. Some of his switch moves are incredibly fast. The best one at showing this skill is the trick @ 1:51. Penn & Teller are easily noticing the amount of sleight of hand needed to pull it off, as they clap at every one of the tricks involving not only solving the cube but also using very fast sleight of hand as well.

Nope. He did it in real time on the street in front of two police officers to get himself out of a ticket. And he shows all sides of it, so the guess by @Jinx is wrong as well. I haven't even a wisp of an inkling as to how this is done.

I think its possible, i just tried, but the scrambled sides wont really be scrambled, if you freeze the video, you can see that they end up sort of checker-patterned. The hardest part is figuring out how to place the wrong pieces. in a solve I use the same general pattern every time, so doing it wrong on purpose is hard. I managed to get 3 perfect sides except 1 sidepiece (which could be hidden with a thumb while the 3 other sides remained sort of scrambled.

edit: I got it working! 3 sides solved, 3 "scrambled"

I thought that at first as well because he catches it too low to be an accident... but it appears to me that the cube is solved when it is in the air before he catches it. Perhaps he performs some sort of switch behind his back...but if anything that makes the execution all the more impressive. Perhaps he partially solves the cube behind his back and finishes it after the catch? argh I DONT KNOW its fucking buttery.

Maybe he is actually magic.

I think we need a *skillful for this one. *ftw.

You can make a cube appear mixed up with surprisingly few moves, so given how practised he is with one hand (wink wink) I think most if not all of his tricks could just be being very good at memorising cube positions and then doing the moves needed "blind".

It doesn't hurt that people are unfamiliar with the cubes compared with cards for tricks either.

As for more ideas; I didn't hear if the Rubik's Cubes were random (as in P & T went and bought their own for this trick). If he brought his own Cubes, then things change again. Since after all he could be engineering Rubik's Cubes with some added perks.

It'd require some pretty good "quirky" engineering knowledge (and BTW, this is quite common with magicians)... But he may be able to make a Rubik's Cube that with a touch to a button, change in acceleration, heat & cold, etcetera, perform many simple yet crucial tricks to complete his act.

Anyway, it all depends on what his goal is for the Cube. He may NOT want a Cube that solves itself instantly with a press of the button (plus that may be a little too much over-engineered). But, you could have stickers that switch color via various means, like a switch based on temperature.

It all depends as well as what is available out there. There are a lot of very tricky things you could accomplish if you truly had the ability to get some of these items.

It's very hard to tell you what types of abilities this Cube could have; it's probably easier to tell you what features it wouldn't have based on the performance we saw (like I said, one that "solves itself" would more than likely be over-engineered)...

But, to me it's far more easier to see it via a extraordinary ability in sleight of hand and an extreme amount of experience with a Rubik's Cube (go look at Rubik Cube videos; there are a lot of people that do very neat things with Rubik's Cube...).
