Really cool video, thanks for posting! So he wasn't wearing any eye protection (except regular glasses)? And what a crazy torch too. Really enjoyed watching that.

Judging from the Burner and flame he was using. I would guess it is soda/lime glass,
with a 90 coe. The flame appeared to be too rich for lead glass.

It's a crossfire torch arrangement. Runs on gas and compressed air (not oxygen). Many neon artists still use these torches.
