Yeah, that took a shitload of practice though, and just thinking about how much that guy had to remember in his head is making mine hurt. It definately isn't an easy trick.
No, they aren't all exactly the same I'm sure, that's why he looked at it for like 30 seconds before he started working on it, he was figuring in his head how to do it, then when he was blindfolded he was trying to imagine it probably. Definately takes good spatial (I think that's the right word) skills.
all rubix cubes are the same.. but some not size wise, but that still doesnt change it.. all have 96 squares with 16 of each colour on there.. and move in the same direction.. he was only positioning his fingers on certain colours so he remembers which way to turn what.. its like almost like using a keyboard without looking except 10000000 times harder.
