    Put half of a binary epoxy on the tank and the other half in the pen. When combined, sticky sticky.

    David Copperfield did something pretty similar on tv.

    Still pretty cool though.

    Oh that dude is amazing... You should see the one where he pulls a salt and pepper shaker through a glass table at a restaurant.. His name is Cyril I think go to youtube there are a ton of clips on him.

    I don't think you watched the whole thing. The card is inside the tank. He retrieves it by putting a napkin up to the opposite side and then sticks his hand through it and into the tank to get the card out. I don't know how he does it, but it was a really good trick.

    Stopping the tape and restarting with the card on the inside, or did you think it was magic? BTW, he isn't really reaching his hand through the glass, nor is the water from the tank spilling out through the hole he "makes". The entire second half of the trick is a smaller scale version of the Chris Angel illusion where he climbs through a glass window. The napkin is so you can't see the panel he moves.

    I'm sure this can all be explained by some simple calculus problems. I'm sure Yao and his friends could crunch some up real quick. jk jk LOLOLOLOL

    That is a cool trick not sure how you could pull something like that off without turning off the camera.

    The camera switches three times. That's enough times for people to have something done onto the tank. Until I see one of these dudes do it all in ONE take, I will still think "Illusion", not MAGIC. It's an illusion, y'all.
