That's amazing... Has anyone tried this? Does it actually work?

No, it does not work. At least not when I tried it. Also, this defies the whole idea of how these things work. A remote sends PULSES!!! It also does so much quicker than a normal person could blink a light. I'm sorry but unless you prove me otherwise, I do not believe this.

read this about the video: "A remote control sends out a series of digital IR pulse codes which are programmed specificly to trigger different functions on the television. You would have a better chance of sending a fax by singing happy birthday over the phone. Ill post that one next week!"

and this from creator Sam Noyoun: "The disk from a floppy... filters natural light, and only let's through infrared light... So in effect, what you are doing, is making an infrared LED."
