Try and figure this one out (magic trick)

For any of you who do know this trick please don't spoil it for the others, and if you're going to google or something and find the solution, please keep that to yourself too. I'm looking for honest attempts at explaining the trick, and note that it has nothing to do with the shoddy camera work, David Blain performs it in "Vertigo" with a beer can and the camera work is much better. The reason I didn't pick Blaine's, is I dispise Blaine, and don't think he deserves much credit at all. He's pretty good at slighting, i'll give him that. Aside from that, everything he does is exetremely gimmicky, and he sunk very low several times with editting, usage of a crane, selective footage for predictions, friends used as "random people" who claim they are random, ect.

Anywho, magic politics aside, it should be fun/funny to see how some of you think this is performed. I don't expect anyone to get it on their own, I know I couldn't.

By the way, at the end of the week I will be posting a solution.

found it out...

Hard to figure out with shit video quality, and you cant see/hear everything, and whether the can was already there etc, so many factors...

Im guessing MAYBE he made the sound of a can opening with his mouth or something he is carrying, and that it was always open

And ovcourse he placed the can there, or he swapped it during sometime after picking it up, since there is no chance of a coke can being where he wanted it to be and looked at straight away. Next i think the fluid inside was frozen or somethign to that effect, and he did something to make it become a liquid
