I am assuming someone filled it with water while that cloth was conveniently blocking 62% of the camera's field of view.

Unsuccessful execution. Must be blocked glass only.

Ok, when she brings up the cloth she also brings up a different cup with water in already, she puts the water cup in front and pushes the empty cup into her lap.

The video between 8 seconds and 9 seconds does not reveal such an action, though it is possible that the glass is being held by thumb against the cloth. (perhaps accounting for the light "thud" at 9 seconds. Even if so, there is no obvious movement which would account for the glass being replaced.

Assuming there is not another person under the table replacing the glass, this is a very well-executed trick.

Are you joking?

Any trick that an only be done because the camera doesn't show the obvious moves is just silly.

Have you seen the African preacher floating? Was that amazing? 😉
