4D Klein in the 3D world, 3D Rubik’s in 2D, what is going on here? Starting to question reality.

Idea for this illusion and illusion print downloaded from Brusspup’s video titled “Amazing Anamorphic Illusions!” https://youtu.be/tBNHPk-Lnkk. I first saw this 3d anamorphic illusion on “Outrageous Acts of Science” years ago and just now got around to trying it.
This illusion video turned out pretty good considering I didn’t use a photo printer or quality photo paper and I could not quite get the angle and perspective perfect, but its nowhere near as amazing as Brusspup’s original video or any of his other illusions videos: https://www.youtube.com/user/brusspup

Hopefully he will do a 3d anamorphic Klein Bottle illusion or any illusion including Klein bottles in the near future.
I first shot the video with an Rubik’s Cube though a decade old without worn stickers so it looked too new and didn’t match the 3d anamorphic photo. I took two old Rubik’s Cubes with worn out stickers and swapped the worn out pieces so the stickers would match the anamorphic printout as best a possible.
Note the real Rubik’s Cube scramble exactly matches that of the 3d anamorphic Rubik’s printout.
How did I do that? I only know of three methods and I chose the easiest method.
Also note the zero volume single surface Klein Bottles have been filled and remain filled.
How is a zero volume object klein bottle filled with water, why is the water glowing and how does the liquid not spill out of the Klein bottle?

Magnetic Dice Rubik’s Cube: First Look & Modifications
I like dice & gambling games, I like puzzles and I love magnets so this Magnetic Dice Puzzle has been on my wish list for a while. https://www.kevingittemeier.com
https://magneticcube.com sent me this Blue Translucent (Squared) Dice Magnet 3x3x3 Puzzle in preparation for a project we are working on titled “How To Solve a Rubik’s Cube so easy a 3 year old can do it”
This magnetic dice puzzle is pretty cool but takes some getting used to. We are so used to color association and the muscle memory of finger tricks without actually thinking about the algorithms that we had a hard time solving the dice cube. Well that and 10 years of Rubik’s rust from not solving or practicing the Rubik’s Cube. One of Emily’s gymnastics teammates just got a Rubik’s so in order to shoot a how to solve Rubik’s video we have to brush up.
We alleviated the color association problem with the dice cube by coloring all the dice pips with standard Rubik’s Cube colors. We eased the turning of the magnetic cube by lubricating it which helped a lot. I can even do modified finger tricks, see next video.
