Wow. That looks convincingly real. I wonder how he did it. I think he probably used strings and bad lighting/video quality.

thats unnatural. either absinthe is right or he might have somehow glued/welded/hinged etc the match to the cup

That is real. However, I did it with a coin and two forks.

It's real and easy to do. The center of mass of the system is not where the forks meet, but somewhere down the match because of the handles add mass on the "other side".

I forgot to say: Absinthe, I must admit you disappointed me on that one.

Also, scratch that "of" after the "because".

Well, I can't say that the thought didn't occur to me; however, I'm too lazy to research it and it didn't seem probable, so I dismissed the theory.
But it's flattering to see that I'm held in such high esteem! Thank you for being disappointed!

Everyone always says its strings....

lol this is real... havent u ever seen those fake birds that have all their weight on their beaks?

This is real...try it at home.
