Can anybody help me unlock the secret of this amazing frisbee trick?

I can't figure it out AT ALL and would love to know how he does it
The ultimate air bounce, how does he do it?

I figured it out. It's held up by a small thread by some sort of crane up high behind the camera. In the scene when he hovers the disc, you can tell, the disc sort of hangs to one side for a few seconds with the bottom of the disc facing the camera, just like it would if it was hanging from a thread. Then the disc changes angle so the bottom is facing to the right and suddenly the disc moves to the left, that's because the boom of the crane moved to the left.

The frisbee is obviously rigged.
First you see him playing catch. Watch immediately after the frisbee bounces off his hand, it goes off to the right of the screen. He turns around and picks up a frisbee that is to the left (not the same frisbee.)
