This is the emotional moment a father used a popular internet vanishing trick to stop his son from crying when he left for work abroad. <br /><br />Nafson Tolentino, 31, was leaving his wife and one-year-old son Maze Tolentino behind at the airport in Manila, Philippines, to fly to his job in Alberta, Canada. He stays abroad for up to a year each time.<br /><br />The marketing assistant for a real estate company knew that it would be difficult for Maze to let him go without crying and clinging on to him, so he held up a blanket and waved it around to perform a magic vanishing trick as wife Eula Roque, 27, comforted the infant.<br /><br />Nafson said: ''This is my special technique for waving goodbye at the airport. It's like magic, and there are no tears.<br /><br />''Sometimes you just want to leave suddenly without getting upset. It's really difficult when there's a child.<br /><br />''It's very hard emotionally. This is all part of the life of being a Filipino Overseas Worker (OFW).''<br /><br />The footage was captured on July 13.
