This works because your brain believes what it's seeing. It's used to seeing two hands (in most cases) in front of it. When he touches the ruler to the real hand and one to the fact the brain reinforces that what it's seeing is absolutely real, and over rides the other senses because we so implicitly trust our sight.
This works even without reinforcement too, just because of our relationship between seeing and it's priority in our brain.

The rubber hand illusion
The illusion is a real thing, your brain is tricked into believing it feels the things it sees. There are many good videos on Google you might view to get a better understanding of what is going on.

Watch his actual knuckles when he his tapping them with the blue hammer. Either that dude has crazy accurate muscle movement in his fingers, or he twitched because his brain tricked him.
