ABOUT: Magic For Beginners (MFB) is a YouTube channel which was originally aimed at beginner magicians, but has since expanded and is now aimed at all aspects of magic and covers videos from magic reviews, live performances, podcasts, magic suppliers and artists and even some magic trick tutorials.
If you're a magician or a company and you have a magic trick, product, deck of cards or anything else which you want featured on the channel, then please drop us a message at [email protected] to discuss further.
The presenter demonstrates a magic trick using \"cube cards\" and Rubik's Cubes. By allowing a spectator to randomly stop the selection of a scramble card and the mixing of a cube, the presenter reveals a perfect match. He concludes with a grand finale where multiple cubes appear to be solved simultaneously through a series of rapid reveals.
Check this out. I've got some, these are cube cards.
I've got a whole bunch of them.
What they are effectively is they're used by speed cubers.
So you have different scrambles on each side.
There's like 47 quintillion different scrambles.
I mean, there's loads of different scrambles in here.
There's even one that's sold.
There's loads of different scrambles in here, as you can see.
Before we go on...
We're going to try and do something here.
Can you do me a favour?
How are you, man?
Actually, before I begin, let me just take that...
I don't want that...
Where is it?
This one here.
I'm going to take that out.
Right, OK.
So, I'm going to mix this up,
and the more you mix it up, the harder it is to solve.
Thank you.
47 quintillion million combinations.
Thank you very much.
So as I mix this up, any time you want to, just say stop.
Stop.
There?
Yeah.
I'm not going to change the order, I'm just going
to put it right there.
Yes.
Now, we're going to take all of these different
scrambles and we'll do the same thing.
Any time you want to, just say stop.
Stop.
That one or that one?
The bottom one.
This one here, yeah?
Yep.
Thank you.
Here's what's interesting.
You could have stopped on any one.
You stopped on this one right here, right?
Yep.
And we mixed this up.
You could have stopped anywhere you wanted to.
Check this out.
Look, if I turn this here, look at that side.
Green at the bottom and then blue.
Big strip of yellow, green, green.
Yep.
You said stop at this exact point.
And look at that. It matches exactly.
Thank you.
You said stop.
Yeah.
But that's pretty impressive.
Yes.
We're going to go one step further.
Watch.
I'm going to take all of these scrambles,
because when I do this, people turn around to me and they say,
Craig, because that's my name,
All right.
they say, Craig, is it possible to solve a Rubik's Cube?
And the answer is no.
I can't do that.
But I can do something similar to that.
Watch, I can solve that one,
let me see if I can do it again,
watch, let's try it with
this one, you do it, just snap your fingers,
turn it over, you're doing great, let's take
this one, watch, put that one there, just snap your fingers over.
turn it over this one just goes like this
Like this.
look at that i like to see
the moments it happens watch this one right about now
Now.
this one looks like this
I'm going to do this.
and the final one
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
And now we have a situation where every single one of these cubes,
all the way through, every single one of them, has solved.
The problem is...
This is the problem!
Well, that's not solved.
Yeah, that'll fix that as well.
Well,
Well done! That is amazing!
