Magnet moves water (diamagnetism)

I didn't say it was a trick. I was only suggesting that what is perceived could be due to the movement of the metal bowl if the bowl was magnetic. A magnet doesn't need to touch a metal surface to move it, basic logic and commonsense there for a strong magnetic field coud EASILY move a magnetic metallic bowl if the bowl wasn't clamped down tightly.
Now as far as moving water, I doubt a regular magnet is powerful enough to move water.

@MrAbbusai Yeah, absolutly, but it must be, indeed, a VERY powerful magnet and big aswell.

ohh by this can we stop tsunami by using very powerful magnet??

@TheBrymanShow even if the bowl was metal the same effect would be visible, the magnet may attract to the bowl though causing a large distortion in th water when the magnets hit stuck onto the bottom
The magnet is causing the metal bowl to move which results in the water moving. That magnet is hardly strong enough to make water move.

Nothing touches the bowl. There is no trick. The experiment is set up so that the very small movement of water is visually detectable.

Is the magnet deflecting the water, or the electromagnetic radiation (photons) from the light fixture?

@oaney - it is deflecting the water.

i think you need very strong magnets for this experiment, water only holds that slight diamagnetic property right?

Your are absolutely correct. The effect is small even with these powerful Neodymium magnets. Looking at reflection in a very shallow pool of water is a trick to make a very small effect visible to the naked eye.
