No, that procedure is plain silly. A reductive alkylation of PEA/HCHO would give N-methyl-PEA (Ph-CH2-CH2-NH-CH3) not alpha-methyl-PEA  (amphetamine).

added methyl group on nitrogen, not carbon

That the added methyl group becomes placed ON the nitrogen, rather than on the carbon atom next to the nitrogen (to create an unbroken three-carbon chain).
