As awesome as this is (and I'm sure it'll work without seeing the video) I'm not sure this is a good idea in the long term.
The Flash Drives (as they're technically called) aren't made to be read/written to in high volumes multiple times. I'm talking on the order of hundreds or thousands of reads, not just a few dozen. This, of course, depends greatly on the quality of the brand of the one you're using. Some Linux distros can be run from a Flash Drive if you have the ability, but they recommend against doing that longer than a few weeks since the hardware in the drive will start to corrupt.
I don't use flash cards so I can't attest to their integrity, but the same probably applies.
