Hello Xict,

I believe that it's fake. It looks too much like a magic trick. Not to mention that he levitated the pen in a matter of seconds. Where's the focus and concentration? Perhaps he's just that good Wink. My vote is fake.

Take care.

I agree JoeT. Also, at the very end his finger grabs the pencil and it flicks. What's with that?

Hello Xict,

Yeah, the flick at the end gave me the thought that it's fake. Then when I replayed it, I noticed that it took him a very short amount of time and focus to do it. I think he's a magician just making online videos or perhaps he's advertising his skills. Their are many tricks that can be bought online for magicians. I'm sure theirs a "Levitating pen" one Wink.

Take care.

I think it's fake, something about it doesn't look right....

It seems to cut between the film as if he stop the recording to do something.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought. I kept a lookout for it wiggling, because I thought it would be strings. It wiggled pretty bad about halfway through.

Same. If you notice at the end of the video, he does not put his hands entirely over the pencil. When he starts moving it up, the pencil raises. It looks like he has a string around the pencil.

fake... at the end when he grabed the pencil from the lead end, he slipped off his string and used putting down the pencil as a distraction for him putting away his string...
