Does anyone know what chemicals this used and how the experiment
was performed. I am teaching some chemistry/magic lessons
soon and I would like to include this.

A drop of food coloring will change clear to colored.
A drop of bleach will change it back.

Test it first, otherwise you may be surprised.
Like the time instead of going from blue to
clear, it went from blue to green.
