How to Perform the Healed and Sealed Magic Trick

Imagine this: you get an empty, dented soda can out of a trash bin. You give the can a little shake, and the can starts to re form and pop out the dents. You rub the opening of the can and it seals itself again. You then open up the can and pour some of the soda out to show it refilled itself as well. This tutorial will show you how to do just that.
