I could tell you how he did it, but that would ruin the trick for you.

He moves in an incredibly smooth and fluid manner - the best I've ever seen (not that I've seen that many magicians). I like the way his sleeves are rolled up so there's no possibility of something up his sleeve. But somethings are just plain impossible, like at the end when he passes his hand slowly over the cards to reveal the box of cards (presumably with the cards inside), then back again, and then, while still moving slowly, they completely disappear. Sorry, no way is that possible. The way he does it, you can see that there is no place near his hands where the cards could've "disappeared" to/into. His continuous skill at being smooth at doing tricks that look like they might be doable in real life gives us false confidence that the rest of the routine is equally valid. He deserves credit, though, at so convincingly pulling the wool over our eyes. In fact, he would have had to practice the entire routine numerous times before he could get it down this perfectly. He would have to be an alien from outer space that is much further advanced than we are technologically to be able to have stealth movements on that level, if such would even be possible. This would have to be seen in person to know exactly what he can do and what would have to be some kind of video manipulation.

This guy was on Penn & Teller's show. They understood his technique (for some tricks, you can somewhat tell he's palming decks and sliding them to the edge of the stage) but said he was the best they'd ever seen and they didn't know how he did the smoking card trick at the end.

Well, if you did, you would have to be shot.
