Hes a clever stuntman, thats about it.
The Chess game where he one against a number of Grandamasters by essentially playing them off against each other was sheer brilliance...
He's a showman, so of course he stages most of the stuff. He's in show business - right? But his disclaimer says he doesn't use stooges and such which is quite different. The Internet is full of folks pulling him and his stunts to pieces, much to his competitors' glee no doubt. But he still achieves his results with suggestion, misdirection, etc., which we can all learn from.
He has a phenomenal memory so that chess multi-game must have been quite easy for him. And being an accomplished magician, illusionist, and hypnotist - what more does he need? He wouldn't risk faking stuff with stooges who would write their stories for the newspapers. YouTube videos can be taken with a big pinch of salt, as they say.
Talking of 'YouTube Edition' funny magic stuff, have you seen the David Blaine Street Magic mickey-takes? Not quite NLP, but great entertainment too. You need to have seen David Blaine to really enjoy these.
