  for your lost thumb,I highly recommend you buy a pair of glasses before you try any other tricks.I am serious,maybe you will lost your ears next time when you ironing clothes and the phone is ringing.

by the way....
he put some holes into the brick as you can see in one scene.
Also it is nothing special because the galss is very thick and the brinck seems to be raw what means that it is not "baked" in the oven.
So every kid could break this brick even with its bare hands.

Whatever, I gave it a rating of 5 Stars, cause it is a lot of work this guy had, to do this video and also it is still a nice fun at every garagy party.

having your thumb inside the cup
may have a great effect as well, because when it hits the brick, the soundwaves are transfered to the impact because the finger is less dense then the brick, therefore the glass does not break from the vibration of the impact and also the vibration is transfered into the brick. since the brick is more pourus, when the guy is holding the brick in the other hand, the vibrations arent subject to the brick.

humm..
the tile of this move suggests that the glass is from ikea and because of that you can break bricks with it.. actually i dont think ikea makes better glasses than other companies...

neat...
The glass doesn't break because the brick is made of ceramic, ceramic shatters at a higher frequency than glass. It's the same principle behind throwing a spark plug through a car window. Spark plugs are ceramic and will easily shatter a car window.

- this is not
  the point.It is the way how you use the glass, if you hit the brick with the cup's thin edge the cup will be totally broke.The point is when the bottom of the glass cup hit the the brick in vertical,the vertical glass is about 4-5cm thick,that is how could it happen!
