This is an EXCELLENT example of how the same principle in magic can be used over and over to create what looks like an entirely new effect.
This trick is done EXACTLY the same was as Chris' walking through a shop window that I talked above above.
Notice one side of the table connects to the wall, the other side of the table has a long portion that's actually not glass but wood (viewable at 38sec. in approx). This allows the glass surface to slide from one direction to another. In one case, to reveal a hole that allows for the shaker to be passed through, on the other side to reveal the embeded coin.
Objects are fixed to the table so that the glass surface appears to remain stationary.
The other pass through effects of the coin are accomplished by simple "palming" techniques. Notice after the coin passes all the way through the hand above the table remains closed and "pointing" to what he wants you to see, to draw attention away from the coin palm.
