This video displays something called the Coanda Effect. Here is more about it from wikipedia:
An early description of this phenomenon was provided by Thomas Young in a lecture given to The Royal Society in 1800:
The lateral pressure which urges the flame of a candle towards the stream of air from a blowpipe is probably exactly similar to that pressure which eases the inflection of a current of air near an obstacle. Mark the dimple which a slender stream of air makes on the surface of water. Bring a convex body into contact with the side of the stream and the place of the current.
