And yes, he really is up there in lock picking skills He literally won a lock picking competition last year [1] . Not to mention that you're seeing the end result of some amount of effort in each little video, he's talked a bit about it in the past [2], but like all of these sort of videos, you're only seeing the "good bits".
My big take away from his channel is two fold: Avoid locks that are well know to have big security flaws, like the paperclip attacks. Otherwise, the point of entry will probably be a broken window or busted door.
It's really a fun hobby, I've got a few locks I rotate from a larger collection on my desk that I try to pick anytime I'm waiting for a compile to finish.
