Meet Ravi


Meet Ravi, the Cube Juggler !

Meet the new wizard whose cube-juggling videos have made him a celebrity in the US. He smiles, he talks, he juggles and before you know the Rubik's cubes are all solved. Multi-tasking at its best !

Ravi Fernando, brought up in Missouri, studies Mathematics at the Stanford University. Juggling has been his hobby for long but it was not until he mixed it with his hobby of solving the Rubik's cubes that it made him an internet sensation. His first viral video, in which he juggles one cube and two balls and solves the cube while juggling, was published about a month ago and has got over 4.5 million hits by now. But for the experimenter he is, in his next video he raised the bar and solved not one but three cubes while juggling them in just around 6 minutes. This video has already got over 360,000 hits in less than a week.

One video is worth a thousand words, so have a look at the videos yourself.




Ravi is also a member of the World Cube Association and can solve a cube in as little time as 7.65 seconds. And if that was not enough, he can also do this blindfolded, or even with his feet.

If you have any doubts on the authenticity of the videos you just watched then look little more closely. The cubes falling under gravity towards the end of second video will prove you wrong !
