The Glass Trick

This is unbelievable but I could not figure out how this is done. It probably deals with a prepared location. I don´t speak this language therefor I was not able to understand a lot (he speaks english sometimes).

Well, this guy is a magician, walks into a restaurant sits down at a glass table and asks one of the girls sitting opposite to give him a coin. He then places the coin on the glass table, moves his hands a little bit and the coin appears beneath the glass table in his other hand. That is not all of course..

He then takes a glass saltshaker, gives it to one of the girls and asks her to hold it under the glass table. He uses his hands who are both over the table to hold the saltshaker when the girl takes her hands away and even manages to pull it through the table.. again, don´t ask me how.. I honestly don´t know.

Here is the video so that you can see for yourself.

It is likely that the table has been specifically prepared for the event and the trick. This has aired on Japanese TV.

Some YouTube users have suggested that the table was rigged, and that it contained a small sliding section of glass too move the objects through to the other side of the table. The hands move in front of the location to hide that the slider is opened or closed.

    It’s similar to David Blain’s reproduction of the card through the window or card in a bottle trick.
