Default dent removal with dry ice, hair drier and co2?

Does any one think this works? I've been watching videos all morning on it. I'm trying to decide if I should go spend the money on either dry ice or canned co2 and try it. I'm not worried about paint because my hatch is in primer. Its either this or I'm buying some body dollys and I'd rather save a lil coin if this works. Here is a few videos. Please put in any input weather you call bs or think its a stupid idea just let me know. Videos:

Hair drier and co2:

should I try it and post up results or think its just total bs and waste of time?

Yeah I'm gonna try it tomorrow. I tried to find the girls hair drier no luck. I did get some canned air though I'll try that first then I'll try the dry ice if that don't work. I'm a lil bit doubting it will work but who knows. Any more input?

I had a can laying around and tried it a while back. Didn't work.
Tried it with both a heat gun and a hair dryer. No on both.
I really think it's moodiness and location of the dent because
I have seen it work with my two eyes before.

I guess it's worth the couple bucks for the Co2 to give it a try.
The dents I've seen it work on in videos and real life were
usually in the quarter panels and a couple in the doors.

I tried it I got a few lil "pings" out but nothing bigger comes out. Oh well failed attempt. Unless you have lil ones. Oh well time to get some body dollys and try that. I hate bondo.
