Here are a few lessons on pinch harmonics on the site:

Pinch Harmonics

Pinch Harmonics 2

It's quite hard to see what a player is doing when he/she plays pinch harmonics because of the subtle movement, but the idea is to get your thumb (usually) to touch the string right after you pick it. This cancels everything but a high pitch overtone.
