Striking one tuning fork sets up a sympathetic vibration in the other, even though there is no physical contact between the two units.
This sympathetic resonance is seen here using a ping pong ball, which unambiguously moves.

It happens because the vibrations from the first instrument are similar to the natural vibrations of the second one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_resonance
