This is what I thought when I made the original post, I’m sorry I wasn’t very clear with the question. It looked to simple to be true. I will continue to use the Alberto for leader connections and the single Uni for terminal tackle.

Thanks all for your input!

Surprisingly it does work.  I would think he wouldn't have posted that video if he didn't have confidence in the knot.  I got away with it for years as a young kid thinking I was tying a Uni Uni.  Just like a legit Uni Uni or Blood knot if the leader and main lines were similar in diameter it was a fairly reliable knot.  Not that I would recommend it.

Here it is. Doesn’t look like a Blood Knot.

Yes, I’ve never had success with Clinch Knots either.

I don’t know what to call that but it’s not a double uni or a blood knot

Back to back clinch knot is how the OP discribed the knot is 100% blood knot.

Im not certain what you mean by OP.  Saying it is a back to back clinch knot is fair I suppose.  If I likewise had to give a vague and brief description of a Blood knot, I would say to head to head rather then back to back.  Pictured below is what I know as a Blood knot.

 Though the knot in the video may be described as a "Back to back clinch knot" of sorts, the finished product appears to be different then knot pictured above.
