No, he isn't converting it in his mouth. Your breath and everyone elses has CO2 as a byproduct of breathing. What you are seeing is almost certainly water vapor and he has a high humidity in his warm mouth and it condenses when he blows out.

Every time you exhale you are breathing out CO2, which is colorless. Perhaps it is cold, and his breath is just hotter than the air.

If all he breathed out was Co2, then all he would take in was Co2, thus dying from suffocation.

I've seen this done. What one does is put their fists up to their lips to keep their mouths closed, and then forces air out of their lungs and into their mouth...compressing it. Then you exhale...and if you do it correctly, it comes out white.
If he's doing it with his tongue, maybe it's plaque?
