There's the article. It's in the last paragraph. Popular Science is a respectable publication; I doubt they would publish such an article without doing a little research on it.

I'm talking about the video. It says that it shows what's behind the object, but if it did it would show the guy but it's not, clearly showing that this was fake. Now yes it is possible to reflect light away back to it's reflector/emmiter, but it is tough and this is the only way we will truly gain some sort of invisibility.
Come to think of it if we reflected light away from us there would be a black sploch as we would not be able to see what was behind it because the light is reflecting back the way it came from. You would see nothing there, kind alike a blackhole but the otehr way around.
Even more thought suggests that if you changed the color of the reflecting surface, you would get a different color cloak. This suggests if you use transparent, you would really be reflecting light away...
-Update-
Upon viewing the pop. mech. article, I have concluded this:
That was in like 9 different magazines each sowcasing tech stuff and it turned out that you take a picture and it does that.
If the said material did the article was teling us it did it would show the camera man standing there looking at the guy.

It's Popular Science, not Popular Mechanics. Not sure if you really meant that or got mixed up...
Anyway, I'm still pretty skeptical too. I still don't understand why reflecting light back at the viewer would make the back visible, but only to a certain point -- like why, in the movie, does the ball show what's behind the man but not his face even though that's behind the ball too? But either way, the basic proof seems to say it's true. Doesn't matter too much anyway.

It's nothing, It's just a tecnique called Blue Screening or Green Screening, where you take a photo or have a movie, then you like colour the ball green or blue, then they have an option that erases all of that colour and show the photo or the movie clip behind, simple as that... But nice job japanese people

Your movie was blue screened. Proof
Some sites that have this material.

This stuff wasn't Blue screened, but it wasn't quite real. They had to follow someone around with a camera to make it work.
And here is another type of similar technology, NOT REALLY BLUE SCREENING!
U.S. army It uses camera in back of the suit to display it on the front, this was developed a while ago though.

In the magazine there was more than just that little bit though. And here is another type of similar technology, NOT REALLY BLUE SCREENING!
