Stella Tse: Does anyone know how this trick was done?

We all know magic is just illusion.  But please tell me how this magician pull out this trick in front of so many pairs of watchful eyes?

Bob Choi: Everyone of these made-for-TV magic shows has one thing in common: they use the camera angle to hide something from the TV audience and all the on-site "on-lookers" are members of the performing crew or voluntary collaborators who are willing to cooperate in the scam just so they can appear on TV. You don't think all those pretty young girls in bikini just happened to be around coincidentally, do you?

This kind of "reality" magic show requires no imagination, dexterity or skills. If I have a bunch of people willing to bear false witness on what they see (or do not see), I too can perform wonderful tricks. This is pure cheating, it's magic of the worst kind.
