Not to ruin the magic (pun intended) of it, but his arm on the "video" side moved too much compared to his arm outside of it... :P

Spoiler alert!!!!

It's the classic "reach trough glass" trick with a projected image from behind.
Basically it is a sliding glass panel with a hole that slides up when he is blocking it from view with the hanky and his body. You can see the reflections start to move the moment he places the hanky on the bottom of the frame at 0:10 and moves it upward covering the hole. Nice twist dressing it up as a TV set!

I disagree I think it's simply a video image of the glasses being removed. It's not his hand you are seeing at all through the glass, or at least not at that moment (it may be his hand that was recorded) He already had sun glasses in his hand when he contorted his body away from the audience. Ask him straight afterwards to pat the girl on the head and see what his reaction is.

#3 Obviously his arm with the glasses is prerecorded and part of the projection. And yes, he has the glasses all along, it would cast a shadow if it was placed behind the glass initially. He really reaches through the glass, though. The whole fake wall the "TV" is sunk into and the movement of the handkerchief from the bottom to the middle and back down again is a dead give away that he uses the same sliding glass panel as every other "Hand through Glass"-act.
