Then he walks through each step of the mold making process including applying thin silicone layers for detail, adding cloth strips for strength, constructing a burlap plaster mother mold, carefully separating the mold halves, cleaning up the pieces, and finally casting to reveal the finished plaster copy.

I think this is just regular plaster of Paris I know there are different types that harden faster or slower and are harder or softer but I haven't looked into those differences too much. If I cast in plaster I try to use a harder plaster though like Hydrostone plaster.
