More than once he gladly shows what's in the cup after the first insertion, but in no case does he ever show you what's inside the cup after the second insertion. I'm no magician, but this does raise my suspicion level.

For those with historical interest, the following person became famous in the 70's for claiming paranormal powers and 'convincing' many otherwise 'intelligent' people (including some physicists :). When asked to perform in front of trained magicians his powers temporarily abandoned him.
