It's still fake, just done better than in Back to the Future II. They give a clue about where to look for the wires.

Some interesting stuff about how the urban myth came out of the movie, when director Robert Zemeckis got tired of being asked how it had been done, he would just say it was for real.

Sigh. The fact that there were so many celebrity types in the video fooled me.

Thanks Skoop!

Speaking of fake-not fake, this Stephen Colbert bit is delightful for those of us who watched and loved a certain Star Trek series:
