Unlocking your Car using…a tennis ball

You know….when I read this…my first reaction was…you have GOT to be kidding me. Watched the video, and thought…dear god thats stupid.
It works.
To spare you the video: take a car with locked doors. Take tennis ball with small hole in it. Place tennis ball on the keyhold, with hole lined up with the keyhole. Press the ball as hard as you can, forcing air into the hole. Watch in amazment and disgust as your car now magically opens. Watch the video on Crooked Brains

After reading all the comments, I’ve suddenly got the urge to actually try this….It may not work, as some comments attest, but the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked (okay, untested.)
I can see that it probably won’t work on more modern locks, but on an older lock….You can generate a lot of pressure with the air in a tennis ball. Imagine all that air being squeezed into a space the size of the teeth on a key..that’s a lot of pressure.
