Magic trick....

The tank is a prop. It wasn't there the day before. It was gone the day after.

How he manipulated the prop to get the card inside I have no idea.

Obviously its not really magic. To make that possible, the audience would have to be in on it, and camera tricks/special props/post production editing would be all used to create that effect. No other explaination.

For example the card through glass:

1) Girl who writes her name writes on two cards the exact same thing
2) One is attached to a special contraption within the fish tank using fishing line.
3) contraption is sprung as he throws the cards at the tank

... no.
 
David Copperfield did a trick like this 15 or so years ago, except he did it while sitting at a dining table in a train car as he travelled across Europe. His glass target was the train's window; and when he flung the deck at the inside of the glass, the target card appeared stuck to the outside. Never did figure it out. I can't figure out most of his tricks, actually.

Then your one of the ones who belives cyril is really a magician?

Your lack of any sort of counterargument or explanation signifies your ignorance. Go watch Secrets of Street Magicians Finally Revealed and you'll understand how street magic is done.

no, i don't believe it's real magic, but i don't believe that the crowd was in on it...
 
That's the second video I've seen of him (I think they're both him) 'reaching through glass'. The other was at a restaurant where he puts a salt shaker through a glass tabletop.

I can't figure out any way to do it other than a shill audience and rigged pane of glass, either.

Apparently "Japanglish" is gaining popularity.
