Ok.
1. A long piece of plastic put in water. Saw another do this before.
2. Stop at 4:56 look to the right outside the window he has a double outside.
3.Not sure.

he stuck the bottle out of view of the camera, you can see when he brings it back up that there is a phone already in the bottle. audience participation on all of it. and he is really not all that good. cheap gimmicks really. Chris Angel did it better though he is a douche as well.

the way he moved his hands was very suspicious in the bottle/phone trick...would have liked to see a frame-by-frame on that one...

generally there are "plants" in the audience that they make appear as if they are passersby but they are in on the tricks being performed - they guy with the phone clearly seemed one to me.

but these tricks were well done and i always find this kind of street magic to be interesting - who was the guy a few years back who did houdini- type tricks? He was good...don't recall seeing anything lately from him. I think it might have been David something...

David Blaine. I love watching him!

That trick with the bottle seems more baffling than his "walking on water." That guy is good at his craft.

The guy shows a empty bottle.
Then asks for a phone (that previously asked someone to give to him later for the TV, so the black guy give him the phone he was given to make the trick on TV).
The magician shows the phone and gives the bottle to the guy with eyeglasses behing him and this guy gives him a bottle with a phone inside identical to the phone the black guy gives him.
In a clash of "bottle" with the phone what is really going is that the magician sends the phone inside the sleeve and then shows the bottle with the phone that the guy behind him gave him.

The first walking on the water is with tables of cristal in the water.

The one crossing on the glass of the window requires the glass rotating on a horizontal hinge and all the people near are participants in the trick. When "all the people" are in the trick this fools the viewers believing all is truth. I don't like these tricks where everyone is fooling you, they can then user Computer Graphics and make Darth Vader appear too or whatever. This is not ethically correct for me. The magician must do whatever but without people around cooperating with the magician. That is not correct or ethically for me.

**BottomLine**

there is a diver below him and keeps moving a a board for him to stand on....

that`s why he stands from time to time..

If it's plexiglass under the water surface that he is waling on, he must have very sharp vision to see it since it becomes virtually invisible in water. Easy to make a mistake and take a dunk.

There are no "bystanders", everyone is part of the trick.

Modern day magicians are simply TV shows.[/sign]

Watch the 2nd trick, passing through glass.
1st notice the door is the section to thr right of where he "passes"
There is another guy with a trenchcoat standing there to help obscure the view.
>>Look at the faces of the people outside.<<
They have a clear view and yet noone is amazed/impressed or shocked.
