Rubik's Cube Magician Steven Brundage fools Penn & Teller...
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

*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.

I'm fairly certain he is using both at once, which is not a difficult feat. You're already doing that and much more while playing games. I don't see how inputing language and numbers via a 2 analog input system is "insane". From someone who has tested input peripherals, it's just different, like so many systems already out there. You should watch me with a rubik's cube. Peripheral testers use cubes (among other analog devices) to warm up.
It's actually really cool to see this concept in the mainstream, though I'd imagine you may need to practice common positioning. For example, t, h, followed by a vowel will be a pattern that becomes muscle memory, just as w, e, and then r, etc. They're simple algorithms that you don't even realize you're following, but simple take practice.
You know what else is insane? Playing a drum kit using all 4 limbs independently. That's insane! Speed Metal is insane! Me playing Dance Dance Revolution on Challenge is INSANE! Alllllllll of these simple things which are "insane". LOL!!!
Love the concept - don'tt believe the simplicity. The bit where he types is just insane - like he is using both analog inputs at once to aim separately.
Plus maybe it's the lighting but the "thumbnail" hands look so photo shopped it's unreal (or should I say source).
The Best Movie Sets Ever Made
#6 could've done with a mention of Cube even if it didn't take the spot, that film made excellent use of one cube room for the entire movie
