And I have not seen anything.

I like to be surprised with the audience.

Awesome.

Awesome.

So I am a social media magician.

And what that means is I influence people as well as

entertain people in a positive light.

So I want to try that with two Rubik's Cubes.

OK.

Ellen, can you take this behind your back.

Mm-hmm.

And mix it up.

OK.

I'll do the same, as well.

Go ahead and mix it up as much as you can.

Yup.

I've never done one in my life.

[LAUGHTER]

All right.

OK.

And when you're done, I'll take it back.

OK.

So there are about 43 quintillion different ways

in which you can mix a Rubik's Cube.

And you said you've never done one in your life, ever.

No.

No.

Well, try this.

Really?

Not at all?

Never.

[LAUGHTER]

Look.

You did a really good job.

Look.

That's one side.

Two sides.

A perfect match.

Three.

Four.

Five.

And all six sides, a perfect match.

[APPLAUSE]

So Ellen, so what I do on social media

is I do magic that's very fast and visual.

Yeah.

And this time, I'm going to involve an element of danger.

Ah.

So can you hold onto the lighter?

Oh, a lighter.

[LAUGHTER]

So we're going to try this.

Let's see here.

Take-- boom.

OK.

So in my pocket, I have a napkin.

Watch.

I'm going take the Rubik's Cube.

And the idea is very simple.

I'm going to take the cube.

And everyone can see it.

Right?

Everyone can see it?

Yup.

Look.

I'm going to take it like this.

And the idea is simple.

I'm going to wrap it in this napkin.

And If you could hand me the lighter.

Watch.

Done.

[AUDIENCE GASPS]

[APPLAUSE]

All six sides.

[LAUGHS]

Wow.

[LAUGHS]

That's.

Thank you.

I have a little gift for you.

OK.

It's just a small, small gift.

Nothing crazy.

I'm a college student.

So--

[LAUGHTER]

Yeah.

You know.

You know.

It's a little minicube.

Oh, it's a baby cube.

But that's actually-- no, this is actually not

what I wanted to get you.

I actually wanted to get you, boom, Skittles, M&Ms.

Check it out.

[LAUGHTER]

Check it out.

Done.

[APPLAUSE]

That's amazing.

[LAUGHS]

All right.

One more.

Or no?

Should we take a break and do one more?

One more.

One more.

One more.

OK.

One more.

OK.

OK.

So in my--

I have a Sharpie here.

And I'm going to do something brand new.

OK.

No one's ever seen this before.

I would like you to hold onto the Sharpie for a second.

Mm-hmm.

Now, I have a Rubik's Cube that very few people have seen.

It's a stickerless Rubik's Cube.

It has no stickers and borders.

Right?

So it doesn't limit my creativity

because what I'm about to do is I'm about to draw scribbles

on this Rubik's Cube.

Now, this Rubik's Cube is so much harder

to solve than a normal Rubik's Cube

because not only do I have to solve for the colors,

but I also have to solve for the patterns, as well.

So we'll try this like that.

And hmm.

Hmm.

OK.

Well--

[LAUGHTER]

OK.

Ellen, can you initial--

[LAUGHTER]

Hmm.

Can you initial right here, Ellen?

Right here in this corner.

Here?

Yes.

Perfect.

I'm going to mix it up just like this.

Oh, thank you for capping that.

Mm-hmm.

And can you mix it up, as well?

Uh-huh.

Perfect.

So I've been practicing for about 10 years,

learning how to solve the Rubik's Cube.

And when you want, I'll take it back.

Ellen, just say go.

Go.

OK.

Just like this.

Now, I'm using a method known as F2L.

And that's a system that allows me

to solve a Rubik's Cube at breakneck speed,

just like this.

And let's see.

Let's try this.

Yeah.

And one more.

Boom.

And I can also do it from memory, too,

if I do it like this.

Done.

Solved cube.

[APPLAUSE]

Just solving a cube.

I've done that.

But the image isn't quite there.

You can't really see it.

But sometimes, if I just--

I just try something like this-- watch the image.

I'm going to just--

Ellen.

Ellen.

[APPLAUSE]

I mean--

[LAUGHS]

That's amazing.
