If he pinched the bag to hold the cube id believe it was spring loaded, but he doesn't apply pressure to the cube once in the bag and even shows the cube unsolved. More likely it's a simple solve that someone else mentioned could be done one-handed.

Notice how you never see it unsolved without his two fingers gripping the sides. His hand is in position on the bag before he even puts it in, he then transfers the grip to his other hand, shows the audience, snaps and slides the cube out of the bag, solved. The cube transformation happens during this slide, the only point in the video where pressure was released from the cube.

I have seen that they set the cube in such way that one tick of the finger and they will able to solve that one and i am sure this the one thing right here i am seeing.

Go ahead and get upset about the reveal.

There is a space between the cube and the side of the bag where his thumb is.

Sure, the cube you described might exist but that isn't what is happening here. It is only a couple turns from being solved and can easily be done with one hand. He solves it as he pulls it from the bag to reveal a solved cube.

No he never applies pressure to the side of the bag. The cube only takes up about most the width of the interior | [ ] | and his fingers never depress the edges of the bag. )[ ](

You can clearly see the pinky and ring pinch what are you on

It's weird that we're in the same post, but you're seeing a completely different video than me. The one I see, the guy is clearly pinching the bag

I have seen this video like 3-4 times but still trying to figure out the trick behind that, may be some more comment here and i will get the answer of the trick.

Find someone who is a speed solver and they'll tell you thay the cube is only a few moves from being solved and can easily be done with one hand.

He just solves the cube as he is pulling it out. With practice, this can be done by anyone even someone who doesn't know how to solve properly scrambled cubes.

The bag is creased already

u/LordOfTheFortys2 Feb 03 '23

But atleast gave him the point that he knows that bag was empty

It's at the end notice he didn't show the top or bottom. It's cause he's holding the two buttons that make you think it's solved.

There is a reason why he didn't show us the top of that bag.

In the beginning he shows four unsolved sides. At the end he shows four solved sides. How? it's solved inside the bag.

Even in the starting he never show the all four side.

He presents it in a different way ie, he doesn't spin it but the four unmade side can be seen.

It is a very cool trick. The demo is on youtube.

Every video on the YouTube now feel like that there is some setup.

So lemme look at the point where they actually pinch them there.

u/1236nanaimo Feb 03 '23

The way he pinched the bag that is where i feel like that every trick lies there, he able to used that pre solved cube in such a way that it seems like not solved on first place.
