Any body has any idea about his sharpening techniques. They just look perfect.

Kubota MagicSharp - he's repeatedly pimped it. 
Yes.
Before magic sharp is good lighting and quality lenses.
You can get the same/ or better results from one of Dustin Francis' sharpening actions for free:

When using Magic sharp- can it be ran upon export of Raw files from lightroom to jpeg?
How do Mike & Bobbi do it? How does Becker do it? How does JC get those colors?!

No Tawnya, it needs to be done in Photoshop. I always export jpegs from Lightroom and then batch Magic Sharp them in PS.

+ 1.
All of our blog images go through the Magic Sharp action.. We back it down just slightly though. On some images it's just too much and the image looks... eh.. Crunchy?

Can Magic Sharp be made into a droplet for lightroom?

haha. almost as funny as palin '12. ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahhaah
On my list of things to do is make droplets out of my actions for exporting out of Lightroom. I played with it just a little bit when I first got lightroom, and I was having problems getting the droplet to work. But, that is on my list to revisit during slow season.
I don't see why you couldn't do it.

I have gone through some tutorials in trying to create droplets and add them to an exporting preset, but to no avail. I just gave up on it and now export JPEGs, then run them through image processor from Bridge.

Here's a link that describes how to create a droplet and integrate it with Lightroom. Very slick! http://www.lightroomqueen.com/lrqdroplets.php
Glad to know that others export as a JPEG and then use PS to sharpen.
