Something is up with the table/black felt. Yeah I get the pockets or flip slots and what not. But around midway when he starts disappearing the red cards it looks as if his left hand goes through the felt.... almost like a bad weatherman green screen effect

The table he's sitting in front of has trap doors that flip faster than 1/30 of a second which is why it's appearing instantaneous to us. He's also insanely skilled at sleight of hand, and I think he might have some sort of adhesive on his forearm to hide/hold cards.

Although all the tricks can be explained rather easily through sleight of hand and well designed props (the table, the ribbon, etc.) this is a fantastic act. It's extremely well done, the whole performance tells a story and it never stops being entertaining.

We have to entertain the possibility that teleportation and transfiguration magic may actually exist.

That's video editing, not magic. Watch the first trick in slow-mo
