This guy manages to solve three Rubik’s Cubes while juggling them. I have never solved one in my life. I can’t juggle either. Give him the internet, then shut it down. It’s over, he wins the internet.

Pretty sure it’s a reversed gif?

This may be reversed but it is possible.

The trick would be getting the cube to land in the correct orientation in your hand and choosing a method with the least number of moves to reach a solved state.

Wouldn't have considered it without reading the comments, but on closer look, it's being run in reverse. Not least of all, how do you get three cubes solves in the same number of moves?

What I figure is he set up the cubes in such a pattern that could be done in the same amount of moves. He must have prepped them ahead of time. And no more thinking, we aren't even supposed to question that! ;)

Was waiting for someone to post something from Ravi. I got to know him while we were both taking college classes in middle school. He’s a monster with a Rubik’s cube.

They’re not that hard to solve. The hard part is getting fast.

But it’s a YouTube video?

I’m not seeing anything to make me think the video gets reversed in the middle. There are no obvious cuts or jumps between when he is speaking on either end of the juggling and when he is doing the actual juggling. Not that it isn’t possible to do the video trickery, but is there something that you’re seeing to make you think that?

A reversed YouTube video?

I first saw it as a .gif...

If you watch the video he is talking, starts juggling, then finishes and starts talking again. I don’t see any obvious jumps or cuts in the video that make me believe it is faked.

I suspect the entire video is being played in reverse.

Could easily be soundover. It's hugely clever, either way.

Yeah, he can do them consistently sub 10 second.

The fastest I ever got was averaging about 1 minute.

Under 1 minute is still impressive, but as I said Ravi is a monster.
