Can you honestly tell me if you know how the world works in its every aspect? If you can't, how can you claim something to be possible or impossible or natural or unnatural? This is pure close mindedness. I majored in Physics and still have open eyes for more possibilities. Of course if everything in this world was explained there would be no more room for any research.
Can you explain how force acts on a particle in a force field without any object having any contact with it? Its just space out there, but if there is field, then you can see the effect. Actually, even that should be a mystery to you.

Or the "explanation" might be that he learned how to interfere with/manipulate/control gravity. Or whatever. But "how" is not important IMO. "Keeping an open mind" is very different from "sticking to reproducible and observable events". I.e. if he can't reproduce that trick in a different setting (where someone else brings and puts the brick down, makes sure there are, literally, no strings attached to anything , etc.), then it's pretty clear that he's not controlling gravity, but only the observer's senses. I.e. what any mediocre illusionist can do at least as well.
