It isn't the first time this guy comes up with a very nice and baffling presentation of an existing Tenyo effect!
Look here:

No idea how he does it for the moment ... .

Yes, this version is very nice. He slides the blue shell instead of having a spectator sign the cigarette.

This is lovely :)have an idea..
At the start, watch the writing on the pencil, as he's shows the other side, it's on there too. I think he does a very discreet 'paddle turn' by rolling it as he turns it over. I think if you were to look at the pencil, the middle would be top half (writing half) normal and opposite half (blank half) switched.
You can just about see before he does the final restoration that he rolls the pencil slightly under cover of his fingers.
I'm off to play with my crayons!

Yes, saw this too a few days ago and thought Wow! What a great adaptation of this simple trick! With an inventive mind you can change every lame trick into a miracle!

@SImon- I think you are spot on with the explanation.
