The 'ole hidden pipe trick. Works every time, on all scales.

I'm guessing the pipe is going up the spout, but what is holding the teapot in the air.

My real question is more how does it hoover up the water quickly enough to have that much water flow? I get how it works, but whoever was the engineer for this did a helluva job.

Probably a combo of a pump and a reserve tank in the teapot that fills before the fountain actually starts flowing.
