He seems to have his back towards the audience, so the front of the puppet is his palm. I'd say the puppet's left hand is his ring finger and his pinky is folded up inside.
Also appears the mouth is operated with his free left hand because you can see his sleeve twitch where his arm is bent everytime the mouth moves.
Oh, after writting that I saw the related video, where you can see the string he pulls for the mouth- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWyAjzn0obI&NR=1

Rather brilliant stuff.
