I did that in a training session last summer. It's small part skill, moderate part anticipation and large part pure luck.

Spoken by a true person who never saw the 2 keep.

Alec Stewart was an average keeper by International standards. He's had so many dismissals as a keeper mainly because England used to play (and still do) about a million test matches per year, and he was a decent batsman to seal his position in the mediocre England test team as a wicketkeeper-batsman for a long time.
Among the keepers I've seen live, Ian Healy has been the best closely followed by Rashid Latif and Adam Gilchrist. Jack Russell has been the best English wicketkeeper in about the last 20 years. Boucher has been pretty good keeping to the fast bowlers but was nothing special while keeping to the spinners.
Presently, I personally think that Prasanna Jayawardena and Carlton Baugh are the two best wicketkeepers in the world (among those who play test matches). Boucher's keeping has waned off in the last 1 year or so.
