It seems like the glass in the table moves, or rotates somehow. Watch how the fingerprints come and go...

The guy palmed the coin and used another one in it's place.

I don't know exactly where the other coin got put, but it's a pretty common skill magicians use.

I saw the whole thing the first time.

I still say it's just complex palming tricks.

See that is what I thought after seeing the first "illusion" but the others didn't look like palm tricks. But if they are, holy hell that's insane! Check out the arm through the table stunt. I swear I can see the table rotate as he is struggling to get it through...

It could be a mix of both maybe? All I know is those are some cool tricks.

The one where he lays the three on top of hte table, and then hits the the table from underneath to make one "drop" right at 3min.

I figured it out just by watching it twice

The coin on middle right, is a special coin that acts like a slider cell phone. When it's open it looks like two coins laying on top of each other

when he hit the table from underneath, the physical force caused the coin to slide closed. you can also kind of tell that it looks thicker once it's closed.

He palmed another coin under the table to make it show up.

I figured it out... using portal technology he was able to create a portal to move the coins to the locations of his choice.

those are gimmick coins. alone with some coin palm hidden techniques.

as for the hand through glass:

That tap at 5:18 he taps the table to signals the cameramen to lower it's eye level with the table, he spins the glass with his left hand. There is probably a hole cut somewhere on the glass that's hidden under the wooden frame of the table.

watch his hand at frame 30 sec, he flips the coin onto the other one to hide it. And watch how he holds the bowl...(you can guess where the coin is hiding..

Second trick 1:01... two coins are magnetic, so when he flip it they joined to be one coin, then he HOLDS the bowl in such a way...(still haven't guessed that he slips a coin in there?)

Third trick, 1:45, the ring is magnetic, he drops coin down on table... puts his hand over it, notice the ring is right over it... he hits the bottom of the glass causing a magnetic coin to stick to the bottom, when he raises his hand the coin near his hand rises, and the coin on the bottom falls. He palms the coin, watch his hand when he raises it, palm is concealed....

Frame 3:16 same thing, one side of the coin is magnetic, so when he hits it the coin flies up and attracts to the other coin, if you look at the upper right coin, you can sort of make out that it isn't real. As for the coin below, watch his hand, he's palming it. You can see him palming it at 3:15 if you quickly play and pause...



And the final trick...

f8...you beat me to the 3:16 frame pause. i literally clicked pause/play as fast as i could to slow it down to see how the trick was done. i didn't look at the other tricks.

There is an episode of Mindfreak where Cris Angel explains how to do a similar trick. Dattebayo is right, just really good palming.
