The page you link seem to have 2 warning at the top : 

Warning
This page does not describe the current state of IPython!
Warning
As of IPython 0.11, most of the APIs used by the shell profile have been changed, so it currently does very little beyond changing the IPython prompt. To help restore the shell profile to past functionality described here, the old code is found in IPython/deathrow, which needs to be updated to use the APIs in 0.11.

So my guess is that this does not work anymore on IPython > 0.11 and you alway have to precede non-aliased command with a `!`
