Ok watch the video, if you look at it, first hes wearing a watch wear he hides the coin, then he takes the top coin and keeps it in his right hand possibly using the ring as a device, when he waves his hands the coin drops from the watch into his palm, and bam its under the table, 2 coins in use here btw. Remember he selected the coin. This is what I think happened.

How do you think the 2nd and last tricks performed?

2nd is the salt one
3rd is with the ladies one where the coin is suspended inside the glass, confirmed when the lady, him and later the manager scratches the glass

Exactly.. anyone have explanations for the last 2?

For the salt one, i'll say the table may have been altered... why wouldn't he drop the salt shaker where it went through, instead of taking it to the side and dropping it down?

The 3rd one, i would say the girls were in on the trick (well they were in on all of them).

Some of that is nothing compared to what David Blaine can do. It's very possible that those aren't fake but actual illusions being performed. Those props could've been planted for all we know as well. By the way that guy speaks excellent Japanese (I'm assuming) for an American lol.

I didn't have time to watch it all, I just saw the first coin trick, but he palmed the coin when "mysticaly" waving his hands over it. You can hear the replacement coin hit the table. It's about 1/3 the way in.

He has feminine hands.

more than likely, either the glass was really small and couldn't fit the 500 (that's what go-hyaku means) yen coin, or that it was glued to the table... For in the close up when the girl tried to remove the coin under the table, she touched it, and then went around it.
