James,

Sorry to break your heart but there is no magic it's all science.

Note: I hope you know that Santa Claus  <:D  is not for real.  :D

Yes, I think you have to get the magnetic arc thing that can be seen there, rotation is probably added by hand and strong earth magnets to hold all coins in place. I have held three 5 pence coins with my little magnetic tool. They are rigid.
