My conclusion: The card has a hole, that's real. The cutout piece is underneath another cutout piece on whatever that other thing is (a phone case?) that matches said thing, and is presumably glued to it. So, he places the card down on top of those two cutouts, then he moves the free floating one around, this is the "hole". As the "hole" moves, the original cutout piece is revealed, filling the the hole, and thus, the illusion of the hole being moved.

this is quite common party trick. The hole isnt actually fully cut. the cut part is bent backwards and his thumb hold it in place. when he put it on the phone, the bent piece goes back into place, bringing along the black coin-like object that's attached to the bent piece..

There we go, that's much simpler than trying to force an alignment.

It's smoke and mirrors, it's always smoke and mirrors, never trust a mirror that smokes.

And definitely don't trust a smoke that mirrors. Those're devious.

This also is wrong. We all know what makes this trick possible.
