You do realize there's a hot plate under the table, right?

Notice the cloths covering the bottoms of the tables

The hot plate would burn right thru the cloth(the heat necessary to pop corn is quite high) and wouldn't even generate thru wood(the table).

I think CNN said they showed popped popcorn being dropped onto the table and reversed the footage while removing the kernels digitally.

Even hot air can pop popcorn...I'm sure there's a way to do it

With a hotplate on low enough and a thick (or even slightly damp) fabric you could easily pop a kernel without burning the cloth.
