Why would you think that this is "anti-gravity"?

Is picking up paper clips with a magnet "anti-gravity"? If someone called it "anti-gravity", would that make it so?

You are correct. I was just looking for an explanation of the physics of this...I realize that it's not true "anti-gravity."

Pretty tricky.

 

That is the conclusion that I came too very quickly.

 

I suspect either fine thread or video editing. I think the cell phone, batteries, etc. are all just red herrings. I don't actually see anything that would suggest electromagnetism being used.

 

Uh, batteries, carefully placed and oriented; large conductors; a carrier field (the phone).

Smells like electrostatics to me. HPH

 

I vote for your explanation! The cell phone definitely has a large part in this, plus since the batteries aren't really connected to each other (+ to -), they could only be used as conductors to focus the energy from the phone.

 

I admit, though, I did fall into the scientist habit of making the assumption that the person is not deliberately trying to fool us. Fine thread (or any other stage magician trick) is also a possibility.
