Don't try this at home folks - this is something that has to be taught one on one, not "trial by error".
There are some (not so good) videos that I made when I was towing my wife's new Saturn home on a Ute' trailer with my dad's 4 cylinder S-10, where I was shifting w/o the clutch, demonstrating rev-matching.

So now you know someone else that does it.
