He's just smacking the left handlebar. The impact torques the top of the frame tube which breaks the magnetic hold of a hub magnet at its other end that keeps the wheels held together (magnets are on both hubs). You might otherwise struggle pulling the wheels apart depending on the magnets' strength. It is easier and faster to just tap the handlebar firmly, shearing the magnetic hold instead.
