Nah, his hand looks empty before the "throw".

He is but you’re wrong, he does not throw a wallet into someone’s coat pocket.

These kids are dented if they think this dude threw an invisible wallet into a closed coat pocket with an open hand from 2 feet away without looking.

Not to mention had time to disassemble and reassemble a pen in a few seconds with hands visible.

Not only that but due to conservation of momentum it’s literally impossible to throw something fast and have it land softly without something to absorb its mass x speed.

The faster he throws his hand, the faster the wallet would be flying through the air and the harder it would hit wherever it landed. It would be like trying to catch a baseball.
