Removing hail damage with canned air?

I saw a video here (3rd video down)
http://www.wisebread.com/remove-car-...ly-and-cheaply
Where they use a lighter and a thing of canned air to remove a fairly large sized dent from a car. My blazer has a bit of hail damage on the hood and I was wondering if anybody has tried this.
I'm more wondering if it will work on golfball sized hail spots vs. the video with a fairly easy dent.

I've never heard of anyone doing this but i'm intrigued to know if it actually works.

Those videos really didn't show much. I think it's a hoax. I think they were popping it out from behind... notice the camera is tight to the spot & never shows it from any other angle. Everyone who tried it said it didn't work. Professionals were calling BS on it too.

So I tried it on like 6 hail dents and my verdict is....maybe...not really. I think it worked on those dents in the video because they're on a door panel spread across a large area. Everything in the video did happen, except the dent didn't really come out. Some of them became slightly less noticable.
I think the hail dents stretched the metal, while the ones in the video were just bent metal so it was easy to revert back.
Verdict: Not really...can't hurt to try.

it will work an the thin metal on the dors, but not on the hood or fenders, the same concept can be acheived with de-icer and a heat-gun.
get the metal really cold with the de-icer, and use the heat-gun on it, the extreme change in tempature will make the metal to pop out.
