Passing Solid Object Through Glass.

How does this magician pass a solid object through glass? The neatest magic clip you'll see today: Link

Until someone can show me otherwise, I'm going with the most obvious explanation: The guy learned how to pass solid objects through solid glass.

Here's my guess: He has a fake coin which has two parts - one above the glass and one below - held together on either side of the glass by magnets. The fake coin is already set up under his left hand. He then switches it for the real coin by passing his left hand over the real coin (which he discards). From this point on the trick is basically done. He then uses his magnetic ring (right hand) to lift off the top part of the fake coin (the one above the glass), allowing the bottom half to fall onto his palm (the one under the glass) and - voila!

Could be a whole in the glass (which he's being careful to conceal with his other hand). Maybe the glass slides around (moving the hole into and out of the trick area). He does move his left arm into that area in a strage way.

I hope you all know, that can be possible. If you realize everything is made up of the same matter,a dn Solids can move through solids as we can through water and air. Molecules are always moving, even in solids. We can't see them but molecules in a solid object are just more dense than the ones in the air. but they can be seperated and placed back where the came from, unharmed. so don't lay out your "it's an illusion" s yet....

axel,
you're an idiot. although your physics knowledge is fundamentally correct, you cannot displace solid objects within the time frame shown without SUBSTANTIAL change. idiot. you're just, ug. i can't go on.

Around 32 seconds he waves the arm over the coin and momentarily you loose sight of the coin, this is when he swaps the coin around with his own coin (A magnetic coin) .
Around 1 min and 06 sec, with the help of his magnatized ring he picks up the coin ontop of the glass, and drops the one under the glass on his hand.
Around 1 min and 08 sec watch his fingers of his right hand. He's making sure he holds on to the coin in his hand. Again putting focus on the one below the glass, while he's getting rid of the coin in the other hand.
He's holding it with all except his index finger.

If you look closely, the glass isn't moving. There is a water ring and a pack of cigarettes no that piece of glass that never move. I can't imagine that he has a "portable hole". And after he pulls the shaker all the way through there is no "slight of hand" to move the hole back. He simply lifts his hand and drops the shaker.

You know Axel has a point, have you seen Criss Angel pass a cell phone through a bottle which he took from a bystander? I know it sounds impossible, but how else could you get a cellphone into a bottle with out breaking it?

No, he doesn't have a point. Lots of tricks people would say "Its impossible" at, but them someone tips the gaff and then you're like, 'oh... right' its just another slight of hand. Probably a movable hole, but Im not sure.

As for Criss Angel, alot of the people the he has 'never met before' are actually assistants or whatnot to help him with the trick

I know a simular coin through glass trick. The secret is actually quite clever and easy. If you want to know the secret I suggest you buy Kevin Parkers descent, it's just 28 bucks or so.. I hope you get it!

Person YOU are retarded. the trick is simply to slide the upper coin and hide a second one under your other hand. There are no magnets like the video says. Still i think that guy is pretty good at it
