( CNN ) -- Sure David Copperfield can make the Statue of Liberty vanish in front of a live audience , but what can he do with an iPad ? In a YouTube video posted by `` salarymagician , '' Shinya -- who identifies himself as a magician at the beginning of the video -- incorporates the iPad in his sidewalk magic act , which just happens to take place in front of an Apple store . I 'm not sure what 's more impressive : How well he knows his way around an iPad , or how entertaining his magic tricks are . Different versions of the YouTube video have already been viewed more than 700,000 times . It does n't really matter that many of Shinya 's tricks probably would n't be possible without long sleeves and quick hands -- at one point he takes too long to pull a piece of cheese out of his sleeve . He redeems himself twice over when he makes a live dove appear in his hand moments after showing a video of it on the iPad screen . Another highpoint of Shinya 's act is when he pretends to pour a glass of milk onto his iPad . Despite the fact that the contents of the glass are clearly staying put , it appears as though the milk has filled the virtual glass on the screen . Is this really magic ? Probably not , but it looks pretty darn cool . Another cool , yet subtle , part of the video is when Shinya covers his face with the iPad . His moving face appears on the screen , but he 's wearing glasses . When he removes the iPad , the same glasses are on his face . We should have seen this coming . Apple CEO Steve Jobs deemed the iPad `` a truly magical and revolutionary product '' when he unveiled the tablet-style computer in January . What can you do with your iPad ?
