Psychic at Yonge-Dundas Square..

Alright so.. I was about to hop on the subway when I noticed a circle of people so I checked out what was so important .

There was a psychic who was standing a good 2 meters away from his small table he had and he had a bottle of water with a block of wood resting easily on top of the bottle.

So... I'm wondering what the hell is going on. He is making some really weird movements with his arms and I was under the impression that he was going to use the force against the friggin bottle.

Surely enough, after 2 minutes of standing there and everyone watching him waving his hands and looking insane... the bottle didn't just fall over but it literally appeared as if it were pushed to the side and the block of wood sitting on top toppled over to the side as well. The wood was sitting so calmly on the bottle that it didn't seem like some wind or anything could move it...

So I'm confused as hell now as to how that was accomplished .

Anyone have any clue?!?!

 And yet this alleged psychic prefers to use his skills busking for loonies at Yonge and Dundas rather manipulating the wheels on the million $ slot machines at Vegas Casinos, or tripping horses remotely at the track.....

Sounds like a pretty basic magic trick to me.

No dang it!

It looked really really legit which is what puzzles me ...

the ONLY possible way I think he could've done that trick is to have had a really thin and transparent wire attached to the side of the bottle and as he made his final move, he pulled his leg back or something haha. Ah well.

That would be my guess - something like 4lb test spider wire monofilament fishing line - ran along tied to a loop hooked under the heal of the shoe. Do the song and dance and show and at the end just give that leg a little tug, poof goes the bottle. Looks amazing. It's all about changing what you are looking at - you're watching the bottle and the moving hands - not paying attention to something else.
