The popcorn and cell phone trick was done using the camera and some editing. The popcorn that you see falling ‘after’ popping is being dropped by hand and falling onto the table. There was a televised explanation of this and may even be on Youtube somewhere.

The popcorn cell phone video is just a myth. Snopes will say the same thing, I just couldn’t get it to load today for some reason.

My name links to a site that talks about it.
