How are people able to solve a Rubix Cube in only a few seconds?

It’s solved by a series of sequences (or algorithms) which you learn, each of which will enact a particular change to the layout of the cube.
I can solve it in around 2 mins, as I have learned a few core algorithms that I can follow and solve from one side up. It’s “slow”, and takes a lot of movements, but I can follow the same set of movements and solve it every time.
Very good solvers can lear many more specific algorithms, and pick and choose which ones to use depending on the specific state of the cube they are solving.
Very, very good solvers can use very slick cubes, flick them with their fingers, and study the cube to decide exactly which algorithms in which order will solve it. If you are exceptional, you can rattle them out in a few seconds
