It is pretty cool.

I don’t think it’s a trick though, just an optical illusion.

I believe it’s the same phenomena that makes a car on TV look like it’s tires are spinning backwards. It has to do with the speed of the film and the speed of rotation. On this one the film speed and the rotor speed are almost perfectly matched. Take a look at the stabilizer. It’s not the same speed, so you can see it moving.
