It's a combination of 'dragging the shutter' and second curtain flash i think.

You have a long shutterspeed (1/8th of a second or so), 'painting' the lights, and at the end of those 1/8th of a second the flash fires, freezing the moment.

1/8th looks like a short time, but in photographyland it is considert long.

Maybe he will tell you when you contact him.

Magicians never tell you how to do their tricks
 
You'll have to have (1) a long exposure (1 second+) to allow for large camera movements and to give you time to properly reframe the shot, with (2) a rear curtain flash (i.e. it fires just before the shutter closes). For nightclub shooting, keep the ISO down to keep the quality up, and to do stuff like this.
