That's what I said. Notice how much longer it takes him to move the tinfoil with the bowl over it? Obviously he's not moving as much air around it, but he is moving air underneath the bowl. Like I said, I'd like to see him replicate the experiment using a rubber seal underneath the bowl. I'm betting he'd be sitting there for a very long time trying to move the foil. At any rate, it's not evidence of telekinesis because you can't rule out air currents under the bowl which doesn't make an airtight seal. It's just magic tricks being pawned off as woo.
It is a sad thing is it not? I personally would like to see someone actually test this however, without peer reviewed experiments it hard to make sure no tampering was involved.
