Physics trick: Violation of Gravitation law


I came across the above video while I was exploring Google for Gravitation laws. I was astonished to see the above video. Coin was moving up by itself. Violation was newton's law of gravity. But give a bit though to it. I think its yet again a illusion of our eyes.

Just play the video and you will see that coin is moving up by itself. But from around 0:29 seconds, he has zoomed in so that you can see his one hand only. So what is his other hand doing? Pulling the thread! He has a long thread somewhere behind his hand that you see in the video when he zooms in. When he pulls the thread with other hand (that you can't see) it appears that coin is moving up. 

So my conclusion is: 
-Gravitation laws holds true universally.
-What we see is not always true!
