True, that is kind of funny, but I guess the point is that Penn and Teller may know how the trick was done, but because they know how the trick was done they also know that it was probably very hard to do. Thus, although they weren't taken by surprise necessarily, they were able to recognize that this man has an extremely special talent in magic. Again though I agree that the title was very misleading, that's KZbin for you I guess.

There was a hollow cube with a side missing still in the bag, thats why he had to let the naked cube roll out of the bag because he couldnt reach in and grab it. He poured the cube stickers into the hollow cube, inserted the “naked” (most likely colored on the side he never showed the audience) cube back into the hollow case, and then pulled the whole thing out. The camera cuts away for a bit but I believe he does a slight of hand during his bow before walking down to Penn and Teller in order to swap the phony cube for a real one to hand him - banking a bit on the fact that they would stop paying attention once the trick seemed finished. Penn hinted towards the bow being important so the guy knew they caught him

@GuidoLexikos5 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the explanation of the trick, guys! The main part that struck me was the fact that the solved cube looked bigger than the black cube. I did notice it right away, it's quite obvious I think. I did only wonder in the middle of the show if it was just the camera coming up for a close shot that made for the impression. But in hindsight that's probably the stage director to help the magician. As the show progresses quickly the audience will forget about it and so the magic works. Other commenters have then given the reason for it - the solved cube is a hollow box that the black cube fits into. The yellow side is a cap. At 4:11 one can see the grooves around the yellow cap as it sits on the box falling to the side, and up to 4:12 one can compare the edges of the yellow side to the new top and the orange side to the top being different - until the cube is turned to hide the yellow side in the back. Remember, that's all done in about one second with the cube falling over which the eye can hardly focus on. So without a video a human can hardly recognize that there is a yellow cap during the show. Solving the first normal cube with a normal double move will only help to distract the audience when he hands over the second cube for a second time. You are less critical by that time to look for a moment when the trick cube is exchanged with a normal cube. Actually, at 4:26 his hand moves to his body before stepping forward. Again, the camera is very nice to the magician. And that's the first time that I realized - it's not a competition, P&T are helping their guests as good as they can. It's all part of a show.

Turning a solved rubik's cube 20 times does not make it "20 turns away from being solved." Pretty sure that was only like 3 or 4 turns from being solved. I'll admit though it probably takes a lot of practice to do it in one seamless movement like that.

To Kerry. I never thought it was 'black magic!' But using 0.25 speed I couldn't see any lateral rotations so could not see how the bottom right turned yellow. But that may explain why he removed his finger from the bottom right (To turn the bottom laterally). Maybe the fps camera was too slow to capture the rotation. So one frame it is green then the next it is yellow. So with out trickery it just looked impossible to me. But the hand can be faster than the camera. TY.

Watch when he scrambled the cube forth and back. Watch his fingers befor and after he solved the cube. Also notice the patterns. He is doing one turn with his left hand and then flicks two fingers to rotate the left plane the top plane and the bottom plane. He is very fast no doubt about it.

Fun fact: 20 moves is indeed the shortest sequence to solve the most scrambled cube. That very specific sequence, which you can look up on Wikipedia as "super flip", has all the edge pieces turned the other way while all the corners are aligned properly. Every other scramble of a cube has an optimized solution shorter than 20 moves. In the first trick, he just made 20 moves that ended in an almost-solved state that needed a really few turns to solve.
@sailblue103 жыл бұрын
The second trick, there is a hollowed "solved" cube in the bag the whole time, the naked cube and stickers go into the solved cube box, and then it's closed. You can see he is holding something in the bag when he dumps out the naked cube. You can also see the solved cube's corners look funny when he pulls it out (compare it to the one Penn holds up at the end). At about 4:25 they cut to a wide scene and you can see him take a brief bow and do something with the cube near his coat, that is the bow Penn is talking about when he switches out the fake solved cube box with a real cube.

He dropped the stickers in a secret pocket in the bag on the top end. That's why he had to fold the top twice and hold on to it while shaking the bag so the stickers don't fall out. And that's why he had to tear the bag to reveal the solved cube because had he turned it upside down the stickers would have fallen out and he had to show that the stickers have disappeared so he couldn't have reached into the bag and pulled the cube out. Showing the empty bag later by turning it to the camera would have revealed the secret pocket. And the solved pixels were metal pieces stuck on five sides of the insides of the bag meticulously arranged in a grid. And they get magnetically attached to their exact places when he turns the electromagnet inside the cube on (notice his left hand goes behind the table to turn it on using a remote). And the sixth side was already solved. Notice he never shows the sixth side of the naked cube and never shows the insides of the bag. That side, he turned it on top while placing the cube inside the bag. And the cube he gave to Penn was a different cube which he switched while bowing down (this part they don't show in the video but Penn gave it away). And the torn bag with the hidden pocket with the stickers in it goes inside his pocket. And for the first trick it was never 20 moves away. it was just four moves away. Anyone who's solved a 3x3 would know that. R'D'RD. These four moves would solve it and it can be done in under a second with a lot of practice. But i could be wrong. So don't call me a dumbass; just tell me your solution and if it's better than mine then i'll accept it.

The first one is just straight up lying about how many moves it was from being done; it really only needed a few twists, which he deftly did all at once. Second one was a 5-sided shell of a cube in the bag. He holds the bag from the bottom to keep the shell from sliding out when he dumps the naked one out, then he tilts the cube up when he twists the side so that you don't see the back side has stickers, then he slides it back into its shell in the bag. What made it hard to be sure was that the camera didn't show a bow where he swapped it with a regular cube before giving it to P&T.

Hard not to think of that guy after seeing him on here with the cube but nothing saying another magician can't do cube illusions.
In the first trick, although it looks like he makes 20 random turns, this is carefully practised so that many of the turns are reversed, and the cube is only 3 or 4 turns from solving which can be done instantly with an oiled competition quality cube. The second trick is revealed at 4:12 when in a few frames you can see that the yellow side is actually the lid of a box in which he has placed the stickers and the blank cube. What is not shown in this film is that he switched this box for another regular cube while taking bows after the reveal. Bows edited out, probably because of camera angles revealing too much. Incredibly clean execution of a well planned trick.

Good catch! That does explain why he rotated the yellow side away, also explains why he dumped the stickers in first to be collected by that box. Although, how did he make the cube without stickers have a side with the yellow stickers, or was it a flap that comes down after the empty cube is inserted into the box?
@roylecАй бұрын
@@chautauquatrail The yellow side is a lid. The stickers and the blank cube are completely in the box. The box is the size of a regular cube. Because the blank cube is all black, you don’t realise that it is smaller than a regular cube. You don’t have the colour reference to help you mentally assess its size. After the reveal, and the slightly obvious turn of the yellow lid away from camera, he moves to the side and bows several times, during which he switches the cube and places the box in his right jacket pocket. As he approaches Penn & Teller to hand over the cube, you can see the box in his pocket. When he returns to (beautiful) Alison, you can see him attempt to hide that pocket… Every movement a magician makes is important. Of course P&T know this. So the extravagant bowing, turning the cube away, trying to keep the pocket out of their line of sight etc., these are all huge clues.

In the bag there is a box that looks like the cube, the black cube is smaller and fits in that box, along with the stickers which went first so they're on the bottom. After shaking the top of the box closes magnetically and he pulls out the box that looks like a real cube from far away, he switches it with a real cube which he gives to Penn.

Maybe that's why Penn was referring to the bows. That's where he switched!
@lawlietriver88695 жыл бұрын
Penn gave away this trick with his comments about random. Obviously a rubix cube does not work that way. He had to make like 3 moves to get it solved. It is impressive, but I am guessing he is only able to do that with that exact order. 20 "random" turns that actually just leads you 3 turns away from solving, not 20. Then they give away that he switched during bowing. They mentioned it too much and how they were looking. The "solved" cube was a fake that he switched out before giving a real one to Penn. The bag seemed to have something in it, as he made sure never to pressure the bottom. I am guessing the black cube had a shell inside the bag to be slit into. That is also where the stickers went. Then he placed the "black" cube in its shell. Which is why we never saw more than 5 sides, the 6th was in his palm, already "solved." Then when he puts it into the presolved shell, it looks like magic. BlamoO!

What are you talking about, he shows every side of the cube at 4:20... But just before that it's easy to see that it's in a shell, right after he opens the bag.

My theory is that the black cube was a hollow cube that would easily fall apart when shaken, with the real cube in the bag as well. When he ripped the bag, he somehow got the black cube and bag with stickers up his sleeve or in a pocket.

@geo_cuber5 жыл бұрын
I'm not very confident with my guess but maybe you can add something if i share. 1 side of the unstickered cube already has stickers. i assume it's yellow. he turned it several times without exposing the yellow part. he put the stickers inside the bag first right into a cube shell with an open top. you can see that when he put the black cube, he has to put the bottom part to the top because the yellow is there. he put it inside the cube shell that has the other 5 colors. you can see the he hides the yellow part at 4:12 to hide the opening of the cube shell. lastly, while taking his bow (not seen on cam) he switched it to a normal rubik's cube then gave it to penn.

The camera can see under it and he spins top and (his) right vertical. If any side was stickered, we would've seen it when he was playing with it.
@geo_cuber5 жыл бұрын
he twisted it right vertical up then right vertical down. in cubing notations. we call it R then R'. buy doing that move, the stickered part only stay at the bottom and back part. there's no way for you to see. then finally he turns the top layer 360 degrees. that;s ok because the stickers are resting at the bottom.
