valve cover smoke test

How can one perform this kind of this valve cover smoke testing? Where is the smoke inserted from? Has anyone tried this?

You can see in the video that he has it attached to this hose that goes into the cover:

His other video shows you it when it's off the car for a better idea: https://youtu.be/ZLnDnpj81vU
