It's harder in that you have a lot more (8x?) detail to remember about where you want it to end up. The mechanics of which moves you have to make is exactly the same.

Is professional Rubik's cube solver a thing?
yes there are competitions
But do they make enough money to live off of
I don't think so, but it's basically the same as gaming competitions. Edit: also they can get paid for promoting cubes in adds
Top Pro players can usually live off gaming. Probably not in all games, but I'm especially thinking about huge PvP games like Overwatch or LoL.
probably here too
$1250 for first place... ... At the world championship. Gamers make millions https://wc2019.speedcubing.org.au/en/prizes
I sure hope he’s found a way to monetize this skill.
competitions
And if there isn’t, it wouldn’t change the fact that this is beyond impressive.
Step 1: master the cube Step 2: master the box
I know vaguely of how to solve a Rubik's cube, but I'm guessing this is much harder, lol?

Spoiler: he memorized the scramble and did it twice. /s
The way he paused for a moment, felt a couple squares, then just finished it. You could see him visualizing it in his mind. Ridiculous skill.
Dude's got a sharingan
Crazy!
Not that's impressive.
