   I got it (after 8 views). Solved it. Very fascinating, though.

   . . . if you look closely at the first frame and hit “pause”, you’ll clearly see that one of the stones in the jar is actually a pellet of “disappearing chipmunk dust” that quickly explodes when the jar is turned over and makes the chipmunk invisible. You can purchase these “disappearing chipmunk dust” pellets at any REI store or online, but be careful, I think these pellets have a very short shelf life.

     sadly, those “pellets”, I think are actually pistachios, don’t you?

   And here I thought he jumped to the right before it flipped it. but then I rewatched it. David is right.

   Once again I wish we had an REI store close by! :-(
