It's called "3D Flying", but this guy is not very good. I actually saw guys who could stabilize their planes in such a way that they landed the tail in their open hand.

Well frenchy is both right and wrong. This guy is torque rolling which means the plane is supposed to spin around its axis in a hover. He is not trying to hover without motion. So he is accomplishing what he is trying to do. However he is all over the place and not very stable in his torque roll.

Been doing this about fifteen years now. The first guy to do VTOL was Rhet Radford from Jacksonville, FL. who used the Max Headroom X-Wing. I think it was featured in RCM and Model Airplane News. He never used gyro-stabilizers, which made it amazing even by todays' standards. He used to launch by hand. He had a heli skid mounted to the fuselage. He flew single stick and watching him catch the plane was inspiring.

After Bob Violett started packaging carbon fiber products the high power-to-weight ratio planes became more prevalent and now nearly every R/C field has somebody doing this.
