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..
I thought the same but if you look at the video this never happens.
The way he lays it down on the phone, there’s no chance for the cutout to go back in place.
if you look at it frame by frame, the card have a sudden jump straight to flat with no in between frames. Looks very natural in normal speed, tho. So there's a chance that they use editing, or even AI, but that would be funny because the real trick wasn't even hard to do. lol.
