it's quite a simple illusion, one of the coins is spring loaded with a section that makes it look like another coin.  Watch at 2:54 when he moves the coins, two of them are stuck together and then later when he opens his hand if you watch frame by frame you can see he already had a coin in his hand...... easy.  The trick where he puts his hand through the glass without breaking it I cannot explain.
