Obviously I can't speak for Teller but based on the fact the reasoning he presents in the OP article would not apply to the linked video, I don't think he would have a problem with it.
The article specifically mentions treating a magic act as a performance and copyrighting it in a similar manner to a play - this video is a substantially different act to his. The video described in the article however is a straight rip-off.
However Teller does have a problem with it. He doesn't want him to sell the trick, and the trick that is occurring has nothing to do with the performance.
