Magpies woke him and taunted him.

Lol! Such arrogant sneaky bastards! Funny to see two different kinds of sneaky clever animals in a stand-off. The magpies clearly have big faith in their own physical abilities to toy with a fox who is quick on his(her)feet as well. Magpies dont seem to have many enemies eventhough everyone is food for something every once in a while.

The birds are so confident they're ignoring the fox as anything but just a shape in the way. They aren't 'taunting' him whatsoever.

I've seen magpies do this with cats as well - my cat in particular in the past. Foxes, like cats, are stealth predators; if the magpies face up to them, especially in a pair, then the fox/cat can't sneak up on them and this seems to stop any potential attack. Usually when magpies are doing this it's because they have a nest nearby and are distracting the predator's attention. When I watched this with my cat I at first assumed that they were playing and even maybe that they were bonding in some way. But I was wrong. When the magpies' fledglings eventually left the nest, my cat killed them, all of them, within a few minutes of each other. I actually felt a bit sorry for the magpies.
