It looks to me like an old magician trick done with mirrors.

It looks like the cloth is just reflecting the background to the left of the experiment which gives the perception of invisibility. Its all placement and camera angle.

You could be right, but I would think that an array of carbon fibers that can be reversably turned into a specular reflector by resistive heating would be pretty useful in certain quarters.
