It's faked.
It's probably a twist on the Mouse Trap trick that Penn and Teller did in which the setup is that the magician can tell which of the mousetraps are safe by feeling a knot on the underside of the lazy susan.
In the linked video, the lazy susan is most likely marked around the edge with something the magician can feel. When he slides his finger around the edge to stop the lazy susan, he can stop it where he wants or perhaps feel if it's stopped in the correct location. Notice he gives the lazy susan another quarter turn before he smacks the cup to make sure the one he wanted to crush was facing the camera.
The lazy susan could be visibly marked as well. The compression on the video is bad enough to hide most anything.
Also, if you read the description on the right it says, "Make Sure to Check out Brian's show "Scam School" at revision3.com". Probably a dead give away. LOL
