Sounds totally possible to me. Depending on the condition of the cards, the way it is tossed, or certain contact with certain fingers before it is launched could, in theory, produce that effect.
Card handling experience has absolutely nothing to do with this. I, personally, agree with both Jonas and Scape Goat here. It's true that all mistakes made should be learning experiences, it's true that regret doesn't accomplish much. I don't agree that you should make more mistakes, per se. You can accomplish and learn things without making mistakes.

did you just se "per say" ? lol
i also don't really believe that a perfect fan was made that way because the cards would have to be in perfect condition. it was probably a ugly but somewhat round fan. as long as we're making stuff up though, one time I tried to do eight perfect shuffles but when I did a ribbon spread it spelled out my checking account number. twice.

Pwned!
The fan was most likely not perfect, but I believe that a rather pretty fan could TOTALLY be produced.

It wasn't me, but I saw a kid with no card experience, take my cards and whip out a Carahan Fan. He didn't even now what it was, but he can do it. I thought he was a god, because I had never seen it done in real life, and from a noobie... preposterous.
It was great!

lol, a similar experience happened to me =P A friend of mine who's a total noob was attempting to do a knuckle cut and somehow popped up a long distance spinner XD I'm still not able to do it after several months with cards XP
Mine was probably when I was doing a LDS variation and flung off about 3 cards at once. And 1,2,3 landed back into my hand in a row. Looked really cool in the mirror. One time only though. Also, I've done some crazy stuff with the hotshot cut.
The almost same thing happend to me once, tho I accidentally did a triple Mockingbird
I did a carnahan fan, but with 2 cards, to display them. Because of the force of the fan opening, the right card spun 360 around my thumb and landed in my hand, while the left card spun into the air.
I caught both.

well i like this topic
once i was doing a cobra cut i am not sure what it was but i'll describe it.
it was like a king cobra but instead of the triangle in your hand it was just two packets.
and when i went to catch them i caught them in a triangle and i was recording it for a video. Then i deleted it -.-
