How could the apparent poltergeist activity shown in the first 40 secs of this video have been faked?

Ok so I guess any trace of the fishing line was airbrushed out of the video afterwards.fishing line.
Yes, it's poor video. In the higher rez picture here, you can just make out the line running parallel to the fishing rod. But this guy is surf fishing, using a short heavy rod with a good size reel, so he's probably running at least 20# test line if not bigger. The drawer could be opened with something much smaller, maybe even down to 4-5# test.no. even if it was good resolution video (which it isnt) you wouldnt see fishing line.
ex:
are you talking about the first utensil to come out? i thought it odd at first and thought maybe someone was in the cabinet and flinging it from the back of the drawer (its a kid trick all over youtube, siblings hiding in the lower cabinet and scaring their little brothers/sisters), but i figured that is too much work since the spatula (second object) looks like a fishing line pull.Actually, if you look close at .25 playback, it looks like the fork appears from behind the cabinet. I don't think it's in the same plane as the drawer it's supposed to have leapt out of.
I'll go with fork first then spatula.are you talking about the first utensil to come out? i thought it odd at first and thought maybe someone was in the cabinet and flinging it from the back of the drawer (its a kid trick all over youtube, siblings hiding in the lower cabinet and scaring their little brothers/sisters), but i figured that is too much work since the spatula (second object) looks like a fishing line pull.
i think the "fork" (ie first object) the line goes up around that upper cabinet handle. apologizes for my sloppy line (this scene looks so familiar, i think weve had this one on MB before)
skitch is a free program that screengrabs (if youre on a computer). it has nicer arrows.Now I need to learn how to capture a YouTube frame like you do so I to, can draw squiggly lines on it.
Also, slow the playback down to .25 and watch the fork(?). It sorta moves in the drawer, then appears suddenly up in the air, spins a bit then disappears. It looks like after doing the drawer trick, somebody tried to make it look like a fork flew up and out across the room.

oh that's so much clearer. cant believe i didnt think to look for the original! i'm out of practice.but if you watch it on their YouTube channel you can see much more of it:
