They do briefly explain the 'simple physics' in their infomercial in your link.

Looks like there's 2 pieces to it... the 'cup' which holds the liquid and is connected to the handle, and the 'base' which is the clear part and the base. Seems like the base has a hole in the bottom which is covered up when on a table and the 'cup' locks into place creating suction. Then when you lift the handle, it opens a bit at the top to let air in and it can move again.

Suction FTW. If you watched the video, when you lift the mug, you release the the vacuum. God, I can't believe you got me to watch that. Time for another beer.

but the commercial said no suction??

Oh, a late night infomercial is making false claims about their product? Color me surprised...

In all seriousness that seems to me like how it works. I'm not sure how else it could do it.

"no suction" = "no huge suction cup at the bottom, like a dildo or bathtub accessory"

It says it is for hot drinks or cold drinks. Do I have to buy a red one if I want hot drinks? Would the blue work as well or is that for cold drinks only?

LOL @ the bowling ball test. That was so obviously fake.
