Capo Magic

I just came across this nice set of tunes on YouTube. As a fretted instrument musician I have always struggled with removing the capo in the middle of a set of tunes as a result of an unexpected key change. This kid has a novel technique for dealing with the problem. Watch what he does with the capo about halfway through the video.
I would love to know what kind of capo he was using.
Wow– taxing on the strings perhaps.. but fast and nice.
I bet thats an old fashion rubber band capo. I once saw Alec Finn do the same thing. When I asked him how he did it, he showed me this narly rubber band capo. I’m sure it still takes a bit of practic to get smooth.
