? the heat must be great .. is there some sort thermal dynamic to explain this like it explains firewalking?

I'd be more concerned about Lead Poisoning... Especially since it's still liquid when it goes in his mouth...

Can't be real. 9 seconds of exposure and the melting point of lead is 621ºF (327ºC). I don't care what kind of "swishing" or some other method you use to keep it from burning one place -- it's a liquid, and the surface area in contact with your mouth (in comparison to the rather small surface area of unevenly-shaped embers in the firewalking example) is simply too great. 160ºF (71ºC) liquid contact with skin is enough to cause a THIRD DEGREE burn after just ONE SECOND. We are talking almost FOUR TIMES the temperature at NINE TIMES the duration. This is *lies and *magic.

I guess mystery is more suiting than magic since this isn't a classic magic act, but lies is definitely more suiting than sports.

It didn't look like he was pouring molten liquid from the spoon into his mouth. I'm guessing the lead solidified in the spoon.

Maybe he used Wood's Metal:
It is a fusible alloy with a melting point of approximately 70 °C (158 °F)
Not that you would like to use that metal though:
"Wood's metal is toxic because it contains lead and cadmium, and therefore contact with the bare skin is thought to be harmful, especially in the molten state. Vapour from cadmium-containing alloys is also known to pose a danger to humans. Cadmium poisoning carries the risk of respiratory, liver, kidney, and bone damage, loss of sense of smell, and cancer. Field's metal is its non-toxic alternative."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood%27s_metal

So maybe it was Field's metal then.

Otherwise it's maybe the Leidenfrost effect on lead that had just solidified in the spoon. Molten lead reacts (steam)explosively with water I think.

It's the leidenfrost effect at work. The lead is not in contact with any flesh because of the vapor barrier.

Here's a lab demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcyhUAFoLtI

Note the air bubble that immediately forms around the sphere. The same thing happens in your mouth.
