It is very easy to understand. The drops are falling at the same exact speed at the same exact rate. The strobe lights on the side are timed so precisely that the drops can only be seen at certain points in their fall. This allows him to time the flash of light to go off at the exact time a drop is in an exact place, so you are instead of seeing one drop floating, you are seeing fifty drops, but only when they are in the exact same spot as the last.

I'm gonna drop them to the ground one by one every half a second let's say. Each will be dropped from the same exact spot and thus their fall will be identical.<br/><br/>Now, you have your eyes closed. You open and close them for just an instant (what do you see? a 'picture' of a ball falling down). Then you open and close them again exactly half a second later (you see the SECOND ball falling, but in exactly THE SAME place)... you do it again half a second later (third ball in the exact same place)... get it? after a while, you'll think there's only one ball, floating in the air.<br/><br/>Now let's say instead of opening your eyes every half a second, you do it a little faster (0.4 secs). When you see the second ball, it won't have fallen to the same exact spot as the first one yet; it will be a little higher. The next time you open your eyes, the third ball will be a little higher... and so... after a while it looks like you're watching a single ball going upwards.... <br/><br/>Got it?<br/><br/><br/>GREAT WORK! For all of you who think it’s fake or he’s palying the video backwards or such… it’s just ’simple’ engineering put to a cool use; here’s the “for dummies” explanation.
