The card is not joined to the threads, but simply supported. Initially the two threads lie on the cd-rom near the two vertical batteries. Moving the pepsi you can stretch the threads and so raise up the card. You can control the movements of the card with the tension of the threads by moving and rotating the pepsi. (rotating the pepsi you control the inclination of the card, by stretching differently the two threads) It is a trick:

Try taping a dime to a playing card and see how hard it would be to balance it atop two AA batteries without it falling off. Hoax.

Batteries in and of themselves do not contain or generate electrical current until they're part of a complete circuit: positive to negative (or vice versa). There is no circuit in that video.

Even if they did, they couldn't interact with a nickel (non magnetic, no charge). The big secret to this trick is the utilization of a magician's tool known as invisible thread. The thread forms a loop between the coke can and the CD stack, so that when he drags the coke can, the thread lifts and straightens out. This carries the card upward. The coin serves to keep the center of gravity of the card between the two sides of the loop. -James Ph.D. Student in physics The fact that he uses batteries is a decoy: batteries typically do not possess an electric field that extends that far out into air.
