I came across this and wondered if anyone has seen this performed. It's an interesting concept and could easily be made into an excellent routine, however, I would like to see if anyone has seen this or has used it themselves.

I believe El Duco made a version of this effect in the 80's. That version actually used a target. Check some Linking Ring ads from the 80's and you will see some ads for the effect.
