Magician gets out of ticket with Rubik's Cube trick
A smooth-talking magician in upstate New York got out of a speeding ticket after dazzling officers by solving the Rubik's Cube in a second.

NEW YORK (KABC) -- If you've ever wondered what it takes to get out of a traffic ticket, it turns out, all you need is a little bit of magic.

A smooth-talking magician in upstate New York had plenty, dazzling the officers who pulled him over with a Rubik's Cube.

Steven Brundage, 23, initially solved the cube in 20 seconds, impressing the cops. But he was just getting started. He solved it again, this time, a lot faster.

Brundage says he had been pulled over for going 42 mph in a 30 zone. But after doing the trick - abracadabra - no ticket.
