They're taking the description of "no edits or cgi" quite literally. Clearly these "magic" tricks would not work on a live audience, and that kind of breaks the deal for me.

My guess without watching the whole thing... the painting is not in the background but is on a box beside him. Someone passed him the bottle through the box. It's a trick of perspective.

Edit: I was correct. Or is it I "am" correct? Who will ever know.

I couldnt figure it out. After watching it the second time is amazing how they didn't even try to hide it that well. And it's like, how the hell did I miss that?!

jmdsays...

basic slight of hand trick accept this time the hand is using perspective trickery. I generally never trust a magic trick when the camera is locked. There is just soooo many things you can do that are exposed when you can figure the image depth out.

Paybacksays...

A computer printer output is, by definition, a Computer Generated Image.

The fact they composited in the analog version of After Effects doesn't impress me.

That's a bit pedantic.
