Immediately prior to submerging his fingers in the lead, he wet them with water, which will form a thin protective layer of water vapor on contact with the lead, which was heated to 850 degrees Fahrenheit. This is known as the Leidenfrost effect. Ladies and gents, I give you SCIENCE. This also works with liquid nitrogen. Coolio.
