A million retakes before success ? Trickfilmen but hard to see in this poor quality ? Magnets ?

Looks average to me, they could do all that with a few takes for each setup. Obviously too much time on their hands!

Balls could be in cups allready, I see no splashes and it is easy to cut just the last part in the movie and some could be real  after a few retakes :dunno:

real... you just have to practice. You forget that maybe that guy actually does that as a hobby/spare time. Much like the "incredible machines" videos.

Ball looks whiter early on in the throw because of the light, its really the yellow one thats in the cup at the end.

TBH though it would have been better if he stuck to one colour ball(s)

If you have enough time and inclination its possible to do all of those, you just need the time and stupidity to bother.

I see an orange ball and a white one being thrown into the two cups......

and if he his so skilled why are we not watching him throw more than one ball and only see him do it the once..... i like to see things being done twice just to remove all doubt....

Is this possible?

probably because hed have to throw them 1 at a time, the reason there is water in the bottom of the cups is to stop the ball bouncing out again. Two balls in one cup would end up with one probably bouncing out. :)

Looks real to me and the final ball just looks brighter in the light.
