I saw this a year or so ago. It did take me 3 or 4 tries to figure out what he was doing.
​
I was enjoying the comments too but you're right: a warning to e v e r y b o d y! We all have some of what a once-upon-a-time colleague of mine called "brain farts".

Agreed -- not cheating
It is classic magic. Distract the audience and palm the pea. It is not cheating any more than any slight of hand is.

Lying or not?
To wander off topic ...
​
I don't distinguish so finely. Even with out overtly saying something allowing someone to believe something is a form of lying to me.
​
However, I do not apply that in this case. Even if you were fleecing the marks on the street. It is not dishonest at all.
​
See ! relative morality -- it is easy to tell I'm a godless atheist isn't it?
