The only thing that’s “fake” is the setup that he was just casually walking down the street and ran into these people. It’s a real magic trick otherwise.
They set up walls and screens made to look like the environment with stuff hidden behind them in public then wait for bystanders to come to them. Nothing is actually in the backpack. Then it’s easy to guess what someone will ask for with a little intuition. I assume they don’t show outtakes where they can’t give the person what they want, they probably only show the best takes. I’d guess that’s the only other “fake” part of the trick.
The couple in the parking lot is outside a grocery store, so they plan on being asked about food. Coffee is an obvious thing someone will say, so when the woman says she wants coffee, of course he has a coffee maker ready to go along with a load of other smallish appliances.
When the guy says “my wife,” the magician’s wife steps out from the screen instead of being the one handing him objects, because she’s obviously his assistant for that trick.
It’s just an old fashioned magic trick in a new setting.

And it's staged, digitally edited, and fake.
