Like that trick, and seems like something average people could learn. I was planning to go back to the video to try and figure out how that thumb trick worked.
 
Look closely at the position of his hands and arms when he first turns his thumbs down and just prior to his flipping them back up.
The positions are different. He must do a switcheroo somewhere in there.
There is a point where the camera goes to the audience and only shows him from a distance.

Good for you

Go to the 1:07 point and put your hands like his and it works

He has flipped his left hand around by that point which he did while everyone was distracted following his directions as well his left hand is hidden by his right hand

I recently saw Chris Angel in Vegas and happened to be in the front row for the show. This vantage point allowed us to see, just barely I might add, some dtrings and wires, etc that help him "fly" and walk up a curtain.
Not that I really believed he can fly, as we all know it's an illusion. But I must say he has total control of the stage and captivates his audience really well.
Some of the less physical and more cerebral tricks are amazing. Again, all part of the illusion, but fun to watch and puzzle over anyway.
 
Some of magic works because are brains are wired to perceive certain data and miss other data and presume what occurred


Saw a TV show on it and it is quite remarkable how our brains fail us

He flipped his hands at 1:10, you can see his hands were separate .

You can figure this out by doing the trick backwards, but, even, knowing how it is done, it is still a nifty trick and one that is not so easy to do.

You are correct

He does the flip after the hand clinch which seems wrong to have to unclinch then reclinch but you can tell by the postion of the left elbow
