It's pretty wild watching him look at a mixed up cube and solve it behind his back in a few seconds.

In the film, Gardner was shown speedcubing and thus offered a job at a broker firm. This didn't actually happen, as the idea came from Will Smith himself for the show because he was fascinated with it. They hired speedcubing champions Tyson and Toby Mao to teach him the art.
