For those of you who don't understand Norwegian, he exposes the trick.

I have never seen this trick before, so I don't know weather it is a professional trick as the guy in the video says.

Is this a simple trick that does no harm in being exposed, or is this really a professional trick that should not be revealed?

Cartesian diver - air pressure/buoyancy - something one learns about in sixth grade and then later in introduction to physics or earth science. As best I recall this is also usually mentioned in history class along with Galileo's thermometer.

So how big is this newspaper?
Could it cover a house?
How do you read it?

Beive me, it's gigantic. As a newspaper boy I get a lot of exercise dragging those things around my neighbourhood.

I can't find Norway using Google Earth. The entire area seems to be covered with Newspapers...

Yes, I am a magician. No I did not make my hare (hair) disappear... it just took early retirement.
