A "magical" wedding proposal, captured on video

Sean, who is a fan of magic, sleight of hand, and alchemy, "magically" proposed to his girlfriend Andrea in this video.

"If you're wondering where she is, well...she's the one filming it, totally unaware of what is about to happen," Sean says. What a sweet video.
