Magical dexterity?

Where 'close-up' magic is concerned magician's dexterity has always fascinated me. The following video is posted for aficionados of the genre and to provide a break from continual politics. For non-German speaking readers, my apologies.

WfW, I presume you know that the ipad has an app that allows you to blow out the candle?

jic: Nope - presumably it is the same app that allows you to pull tennis balls out, tear off pages, produce legs off gingerbread men etc etc?

I'm well aware that what was on the ipad was programmed - but where did the tennis ball, sheet of paper etc come from?

Haha. It's a trick. No, just kidding. It's real. Sorry, I was trying to be ironic.

That was absolutely stunning slight of hand. I almost suspect video manipulation for some of them! Making something "appear" that is smaller than his hand is one thing (not that I can do that) but a tennis ball and some of those sheets of paper would not have been easy to conceal.
