Certain glass has just the right resonance that they can be used for music. so this is probably real.

I vote very real. I've seen people play crystal glasses like that before. It has to take a huge amount of practice to get it so consistent.

The sizes of the glasses can be used to calculate the approximate resonant pitch they appear to be laid out similar to a xylophone/keyboard. Also, the did this in Miss Congeniality.

Never underestimate the abilities of people. But yeah it is pretty amazing.

Very real. I've seen performances like this in Vegas, though not as impressive. Pretty nuts how it works.

Real, and impressive. I remember seeing Ben Franklin's solution to the difficulty, the "Franklin armonica", at some museum in Philadelphia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_har…
Here's a nice bit of Tchaikovsky performed on one:

Basically, Franklin took the glass/crystal goblets, cut off the stems, nested them, mounted them on a shaft, and then slowly turn the whole assembly. Just put wet or chalked fingers on, and the tones sound off.
