I am referring to the 2nd fingertrick in this video called "The Stick". Can anybody do this? Is it even useful??

I don't think you should look at Jessica Friedrich for fingertricks.
Most of her fingertricks look like the ones I used the first days of cubing.
But I think the stick is just RUR'U' wich can be done much faster then 10 TPS if you use your left hand.
But I might be wrong because it looks in the video that there is no U' if you follow the white corner?
So it would be RUR'U?
EDIT: yes I think it's RUR'U: Place your right hand with your thumb on FDR (on the D side), your index finger on FUR (on the U side) and your pinkie on BUR (on the back side).
Then do a RU (pushing the U with your index finger) a R' and a U (pushing the U with your pinkie). It makes one smooth motion, and when you do a R again reposiotion your hand while your doing that R.

But she clearly moves her hand up and down and the R side with her

I'm pretty sure it is (RU) repeated.
Place your thumb on FRU and your index on UFR. Do R by pushing on FRU, then U by pushing on UFR (which is now BRU). When you do the U, bring your hand with it, so with a slight adjustment you are back to the starting position. She may do it differently but I think that is the concept.
You can transition into that from the standard position by doing R without a regrip, while bringing your index to the BRU position (your thumb should now be on UBR), then after U your thumb should be in UFR.
The only alg I can think of off-hand where this could be useful is R2 U' R' U' R U R U R U' R.
(Start with your right hand with thumb on D, fingers on U, after R2 U' R' U' your hands should be in the standard position, then just do what I said in the third paragraph for the R U R U R, then U' with left hand, and finish with R by pushing on BDR or UBR. I like flicking BDR with my ring finger to finish)

It's fairly easy to transition into/out of, (as long as your fingers aren't on F or D) but there is just not very many places to use it (at least, with my alg set). It probably just depends on the cuber.
