I recreated it in Illustrator CC. Using the direct selection tool, I selected the triangle, held shift, and selected two points. In my version, an icon then appeared on the inside of the triangle next to the selected corners, which I clicked and dragged the icons to the side and it created the same shape.

I believe you might have to use the polygon tool to make the shape, you can use the arrow keys to adjust how many points the shape has while making it, but did not try it just making the shape with a pen tool.

After looking at the tutorial, it looks like he is using the Curvature Handles. This feature was added in Illustrator CC. By adjusting anchor points and handles in CS6, you can create the same effect, but it will require some more effort. You can refer to this page of the Adobe website to help you.
