I not sure how it is done in the video but using a tablet or another device can show two cursors on the screen. Also, some devices support various functionalities based on the pressure on the pen etc. This could be related to the device used.

It could be the dual brush mode but I don't think that is it. Dual brush mode only applies to merging two separate brush effects/patterns into one stroke.
To me it looks he just made it have two output points when making a custom brush.

Is there any way you could pull a gif of it in use painting? That would help to see how it behaves and know where to go from.

1) Its called dual brush mode. If you open brush options (press B to select brush tool, then top left of screen you see a brush icon and your brush type, next to that a small folder with three brushes sticking out, click that - or alternatively in the top menu window>brush). You'll see the dual brush mode setting in the options pane. Go experiment with it.

2) In that same pane is a tab called 'brush presets'. It contains a ton of brushes. It's hard to say what the exact brush is in your image.

Now about that brush settings pane. You can alter a lot of options for your brush, wether it repeats itself, is pressure sensitive to a pen tablet, scatters, etc. Just experiment with all these things.
