I have seen this trick somewhere, but not in the Paperclipped DVD itself, and also not in Sankeytized V2. Where would I have seen this then?

Almost any other sankey dvd

We have also got Papperclipped:special edition to look forward too soon aswell

Front Row has full lotus a paperclipped effect.
Extremely mental has the mona lisa thingy

also.. 22 blows to the head has mercurial prediction

and then theres my my 'colour me clipped'

Its also on James Brown 'Fancy a pot of jam?' dvd

Actually, there are a few rip-off effects that use bull clips (I think that's what their called... odd name) instead of paper clips.

Regarding the bull-dog clip "rip offs"-

It was sometime around 1980 when I first saw an effect in a magic shop that utilized a bull-dog clip to sw**** a prediction. This was quite some time before the release of paper-clipped.

I don't know if what you saw was similar to that, or a dead on rip-off. I just wanted to point out that this is not a new idea: having something "clipped" in full view. Sankey's idea is nothing short of brilliant, and I am in no position to guess how he arrived at this effect. I am only pointing out that the principle is not quite new.
