set-ups, enemy everywhere?

it may looks lame because there is no actors and guy is actually a very good and creative magician. He also messes with the people's minds and doing a great job and what's good - there is no theatre stage, it's all in movement.
Kayak didn't matter - the police came in a heavy boat and picked him up.
It's not boring.
Set up or not - explain at least some of his tricks.
Ok smarty pans, how did he went through the middle of the glass wall, melt the glass in someone else's store or bend wine glass without touching it.
If it's all set-us, he'll need enourmous amount of money, and it doesn't looks like it's the case.
