R, and very fake.
You can't bother to link to the original. You can't bother to explain how it's fake. I'll tell you what you CAN do...

Funny how everyone *knows* it's fake but can't explain how he did it.

Don't claim it looks fishy unless you can say why.

Pretty obvious that a man can't walk through a window, so it has to be fake. Pretty good, though - it sure blew away those people standing right there.

I can explain why, if it was real, he would not have used paper to cover up his magic. :D

I suppose that you COULD consider glass a "liquid", since it does tend to flow over long periods of time. But I'd say it's solid enough that he can't just walk through it. Why'd he bother covering it? How hard would it have been to just have a piece of the glass removed, and have the guy inside standing behind him putting it back in when he got through? Such low quality camera work, I suppose you'll never be able to debunk it.

The original is not low quality, it's from A&E.

well when he took off his shoes the guy in the back could have done something to the glass to get it out the way for him (notice how the camera concentrated on him taking off his shoes, then after he passed through the paper the switch colda been doen behind him again... the camera work was kinda bad.... but i dunno

This seems to be the newest trend in magic.
There was a japanese guy who pulled a hamburger out of a picture on the wall, took a bite and put it back with the picture now showing a hamburger with a bite taken out of
Another Japanese guy pulled a salt shaker out of a glass table being held by another person!

The thing is, most of these explanations can only explain when he goes through but soon as he gets out, nothing can explain the fact that it's solid agian and completely contiguous though since the quality of the video is so low, it's hard to know.

Possibly but that would be VERY difficult to make not obvious.

Precision glass cutter, the pane is sitting cut in the main window which happens to be slightly smaller than the strategically sized piece of paper. Once inside, the "magician" and his assistance applied suction cups and removed the cut pane from the window (which is why he needed an assistant in the first place, to assist in careful removed AND replacement after he made it through).

As was mentioned, why else would the glass need to have been covered? Other than to hide the pane from being removed from behind the paper.

I'm thinking there's a peice of the glass that's removed and placed back on afterwards very quickly.

The original is not low quality, it's from A&E.

I guess I should've been more clear, I didn't mean low quality as in the actual quality, but just how poorly the cameraman moved around a lot, didn't focus in one place, almost as if they wanted to distract you from how they were doing it.

Then again, that's how magicians work, distraction and slight of hand.
