how are photos like this set up? what kind of lighting do you use? How do you keep the props from getting hot spots from the lights? Can i do this without an external flash?

With great difficulty...
I've never had any luck keeping hot spots off of the glass, even if I use diffused light. A polarizer helps, but since the glass is curved you can't get rid of all the reflections. I would also like to know exactly how this is done. As all three are basic editing, it means it can't have been done in Photoshop.
Screwed up quote syntax a bit...

Add me to the list of keen and curious wanna-knows.
Pure speculation re avoiding hot spots: could it be because there is no light in front of the subject, but lights up only the background, instead? |

You guys should PM the photographers of the shots that you want to konw about. :) And remind them that they get $5 @ DPC or DPCPrints for each tutorial/how-to they do!

Bingo, that's exactly how you do it. I tried this, although I didn't do so well, with my challenge entry for the Blue challenge.
Edit to add: Come to think of it, I think there is already a tutorial on that...
You can see it here.

Just keep the lights behind the glass and presto.
