Explain how his pinky finger helps him put his hand through the table. I am sure that the ring on his right hand is a magnet but I would like to know how he puts his hand through the table.

oops, sorry. I didn't watch the whole thing. Everything leading up to the 'arm through the table' trick was nothing shocking.

but the arm through the table..... that was good.

Several magicians use variations of this illusion. It usually is pretty impressive.Mindfreek puts his whole body through a sheet of glass or acrylic for example. Surface testing before and imediately after he gets through shows it to be solid. That is an acrylic top this magician is using. There is no concealled hole or the edges of it would always show at that camera angle.

I think this is one of those illusions you have to purchase and agree to not disclose therefore reducing it's selling value. Alll I am aware of is it is just an illusion.

One of the greatest originators made his living out of Vancouver,Canada. He invented and sold them to others as well as performing. This one may be easily one of his. It is good enough to qualify in my mind.

Some of the warm up routine was not too shabby either if you watch again. Try it yourself.

I have a few illusions that I occassionally use to break the ice when first meeting children I will be working with. Our own kids are no slouch at making money dissapear for real. That is no illusion my wife taught them.
