actually he did a double lift then a mercury card fold and palmed of the card in one hand while he slid the phone into his pocket. then, he held the card under the phone with the pre-prepared card already in it and when he took it out he just switched it and ditched the other one in his jacket pocket. And while you've been reading this I've stolen your watch, phone, wife, house and bank details.

1:35 he looked at his wrist to calculate the time, but he just gave up the watch D:

You know a big trick to illusionists is pre-planning and setting things up before the trick is even performed. I'm sure that before they went on air they were all hanging out and he couldve easily slipped the phone into his pocket. then all it takes is knowing where the cameras are and what the audience/volunteer can visibly see to do the slight of hand procedures.

if you play this video in slow motion you can see him stealing the watch... pretty kewl

At 2:02 the right hand is putting the coin on his shoulder

At 2:09 he grabs the second coin from his pocket and places it on his shoulder

At 2:24 he starts to remove the watch from his wrist

At 4:23 he is holding the card in his left hand and opens the case of the phone and makes it appear as if he took it out of the phone.

I couldn't tell when he placed the phone.

The guys is very good...had to rewind and look a lot to see how he did it!

[Jason Murray]

How did he put the phone in his pocket?

"Ally, check my pants" was a rather awkward way to end that segment.
