Using blow dryer and compressed air to "pop out" a dent? Login - Sign Up

Found this in one of my egroups. I'll only be linking to the video itself as to prevent undue advertising to the site.

Anyway, the video contains something fantastic -- the man pops out a big dent using a blower and compressed air. I understand that this happens due to temperature change, making the metal contract or expand. But I'm still a bit skeptical. What do you guys think?

I've been searching the web on this. Also for the Dry Ice method. I am still sceptical on it?
Has anyone REAL tried this yet??

Both will work. However, both methods will compromise the integrity of the metal and make it dent real easy again. As if it gets really hot, the dent will come back by itself.
