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

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.

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.
