I don't know how this works...but it does!

You are definitely gullible. Don't play 3-card monte with any street peeps in Vegas, you won't fare well.

The guy even says in the vid it was showed to him by a magician.
I don’t think so. While he likes magic, he’s a scientist at McGill University. His reputation is very much that of a straight shooter in these here parts. It would be very uncharacteristic of him to try to pass off a simple trick as something else. I could be wrong, but I don’t think so.

It's because he's not putting the card through the hole. He's holding the card behind the piece of paper. It's called sleight of hand.

It is a trick but not sleight of hand. The "square" in the middle is not square but instead a rhombus where the horizontal diagonal in video is large enough for the card to fit through, but the vertical diagonal isn't.

It looks like a square, but it's more like

It's easier to see when the card is closer to the paper.
