Magic or science?

While I was on a cruise for vacation over winter break, the waiter my family was served by showed us a different magic trick each night after dinner. He began with some simple mind tricks that were very entertaining but one night he really wowed us. He placed a wine bottle on the table with he cork in it and stuck a toothpick in the cork and managed to balance two forks wedged together on another toothpick as you can see in the picture. We could not believe our eyes! But then I began to think how this relates to physics and how the force of an object is equal to the mass times the acceleration and with equal masses balanced on a stable base that had no acceleration it was possible that he could easily balance these heavy silverware on top of a wine bottle. My younger brother believed there was no other explanation for this than magic, however I might have some other ideas...
