Here is a YouTube video for reference which shows the trick itself, but does not explain how the trick is done.
I’ve searched Google (which is how I found the video above) but all I can find are videos of people doing the trick, or magic websites where you can buy a kit to do the trick, but no explanation on how it’s done.

That glass has two chambers. He pours the liquid into the chamber facing the viewer.
At the 25s mark, you can see him fixing a lid on to the glass before flipping it (note HOW he flips the glass).
He then pulls the silk from the (now) back of the glass.

Think about how a thermos has a vacuum sealed area around the part your drink goes in. This is probably just the liquid going into an area similar to that.
He has a weird unnatural death grip on it a lot of the time too. So I’m assuming there’s probably a hole or something he’s covering to keep the liquid from pouring out when he doesn’t want it to. Similar to putting your finger on the tip of a straw.
While not the exact same trick, if you google “assassin’s teapot” it should pull up a video that demonstrates what is going on, more or less.

I did a different variation one that I never trusted enough to make part of a routine: powdered gelatine and a hot liquid. Pour in the liquid and then move on to a different routine while it sets up, using a thumb to pull a silk out later on.
And then there’s the milk into newspaper trick that just requires a plastic bag and some fancy folding.
