As long as the engine is at full operating temperature and you do not rev it beyond the red line, you more than likely will do no damage, but it is still not a good idea. Revving a cold engine will do damage for sure.

Revving the engine can cause a sudden drop in oil pressure, cause the engine to over heat and it doesn't help the main crankshaft bearings any good as they and meant to be revved under a load(in gear).
