i can make a clover with my tongue, raise one eye-brow, wiggle my ears, and rotate my right hand clockwise while my left hand goes counter-clockwise. i discovered the ear wiggling when i identified the muscles that moved when i smiled. one i identified them, i was able to isolate them without smiling. and my left ear wiggles a little easier than my right one, but i'm still able to wiggle both at the same time and opposite of each other.

Huh? I can lift my ring finger no problem when doing the above described test.
Also, I've been able to raise one eyebrow for as long as I can remember. It's a big part of my facial language.

I can move either eyebrow independant of the other.
Try this one:
Move your eyes in opposite directions - one to the left, the other to the right. I can do it if I warm up my eyes a bit. I've got a video of me doing it in avatar form somewhere. Not such a great way to meet women, but a fun bar trick.
And one for the ladies:
Stand with your back against a wall, and heels touching the wall (basically at attention, back on the wall). Women can touch their toes without bending their knees in this position. Men can not.

Like MrPumpernickel, I too have always been able to raise one eyebrow and although I didn't know it until you posted it I can also raise my ring finger when holding down the middle one.

Ah yes, but can you talk with two tones at once? I saw a boy brought out onto the Terry Wogan show because he could do it, but I'd been doing it for ages. Your voice is actually fluctuating between two 'notes' very quickly indeed and you seem to use double the air than you'd normally do, but it seems to freak people out
If I'm really practicing, I can sing in harmony with myself (though my range is obviously much narrower). -

When my daughter was two or three, my wife and I were having a laugh about the tongue to nose trick (her sister can do it). I asked my daughter if she could stick out her tongue and touch her nose; she stuck out her tongue and touched her nose with her finger, then looked at us like we were crazy when we cracked up laughing.
One question I have about the paralyzed finger trick; if you can't lift your ring finger when your middle finger is pulled back because the tendons are connected, why can you lift the middle finger when the ring finger is pulled back? Seems to me that if they are connected, you should be able to reverse it. Anyone?

For some reason I occasionally "gleek" when I yawn. My mouth opens wide and I see a squirt of saliva go out.

Gleeking! Man I never knew it had a name. I occasionally dowse people with a clear jet of spit that seems to emanate from under my tongue and now I know I'm not alone. Maybe I can join a gleekers group and destroy something beautiful by spitting on it. I can do eyebrow tricks like other commenters - can't be that rare.
My weird trick is that I can make a vein on my hand wriggle like a snake. Guaranteed gross out. Then I GLEEK on you.

I can:
* Raise both eyebrows independently and a popular pub trick was making them dance
* Touch my nose with my tongueI also used to be adhesive/magnetic (another pub trick - stopped when I quite the booze, you do the math) and can do a simple version of the regurgitating trick that Stevie Starr has developed into a mighty fine stage act.

You can actually tickle yourself. Granted, it isn't on the outside of your body, but you just try gently stroking your tongue along the back of your pallette. For me thats worse than the bottom of my feet!

I clearly remember the day in 6th grade when my eyebrow raised on it's own. I don't remember what was said to cause this (obviously it must have been really dumb), but my eyebrow started twitching and pulling and next thing I knew I had a new facial expression! I can also wiggle my ears and twitch my nose. Oh and most of that tongue stuff, now I'm going to try more--my husband really enjoys the flipping and rolling I can do (for obvious reasons). I never knew I was so talented!

i can move my ears. not exactly wiggle, but hold them in a small set of positions. like sometimes i notice i've moved them back to try to adjust my slipping glasses. and moving only one eyebrow and making a clover with my tongue is easy.
here's a weird thing i can do that grossed people out in summer camp when i was little: i can throw the middle joints on my fingers backwards, which locks them and lets me move my fingertips independently. i guess it's a type of double-jointedness

I can also sneeze with my eyes open. I have to work at it, make a strange facial expression, and look down a bit, but I can do it.
It's a moderately useful skill to have when driving.

I'd like to see a video of the two-tone voice thing.
I can:
* raise one eyebrow
* do the '6' drawing
* Do some of the tounge tricks
* 'Toot your own horn' (and no, you get no video proof!)
Well, I should say I 'used to' be able to do that one, when I was younger. I haven't tried in years. Its too 'painful' a stretch on the back. Plus, I have someone else to do it for me now.

Wow I can do a lot of those things. All except the tongue trips. But I'm neither Gene Simmons nor a hot asian girl. Oh, and can't do Will Ferrell's yoga pose (Wonder what the yoga name is? "Happy Buddha"?). Er, I mean, I have no idea if I can do that...
Lifting the ring finger was possible, though it only lifts itself a bit.
And what would middle school bus rides have been without gleeking? I could hit someone halfway down the bus. I should see if there is a gleeking championship somewhere in the world.

Dear Neatorama:
I can wiggle my ears
Raise either eyebrow independantly
Curl my tongue
And that "paralysed finger" trick? Pure bull. I can lift all my fingers without any effort.
If that's the best list of "impossible things" you can't do with your body, I'm surprised you didn't add any other "impossible" items like "Blinking while standing up" or "Drinking water during daylight hours". -

I can bend my thumb towards my wrist, forwards and backwards. ( Backwards Picture here http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e71/AmandaMayyy/hand.jpg ) It doesn't show it all the way, but I can.
I can lock my fingertip. Picture here - http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e71/AmandaMayyy/Picture023.jpg
I can also touch my head to the back of my knees, foot behind my head, foot to my hip, and a buncha other things.
I'm pretty sure a lot of them come from being a vegetarian and not getting protein. -

I can kinda life mt ring finger, but it hurts so I should probably stop.
One thing that I've always been able to do is bend my fingers backwards. They naturally go like that and it really freaks people out. I think it has something to do with extra tendons in my hands or something.
I'm not sure if it counts as wiggling, but whenever I hear a sudden sound behind me my ears twitch and I can move them a little.

wow, I didn't believe the #6 trick until I tried it. I guess it is a left/right brain thing because i can't do it righty-righty or lefty-lefty, but lefty-righty is just fine.
for people that can move the ring finger, are you putting the first or second knuckle down to the table? I can move my ring finger a little with the first knuckle down, but it is glued to the table with the second.

Hmmm... I can raise one eyebrow, gleek, twich my nose, touch my nose with my tongue, do the paralyzed finger trick, the six, and a couple of tongue tricks to boot. Do I get a prize or does that just make me a freak?
I can also flip my ankles. Figured that out while breakdancing in my early teens.

Another impossible task:
Put your side against the wall; left or right makes no difference. Make sure your shoulder, hip and ankle touch the wall. Now try to lift the other foot.
With a LOT of perseverance you MIGHT be able to pick it up, but you will definitely fall over (messes with your center of gravity).
As an aside, the whole "can't tickle oneself" is one rule I don't buy into. I HATE it when the bottom of my foot itches; it tickles too much to scratch it!

The way I learned the rotating both fingers clockwise thing was to have them pointing at each other. Imagine there is a ball in front of you, and put both index finger on top of the ball. Now rotate your fingers around the ball in opposite directions, so they cross at top and bottom. Once you master that, try transitioning to airplane propellers, where both fingers are rotating clockwise and pointing forward. Anyone can do one or the other with a little practice, but not everyone can learn to transition smoothly.
I have always been able to do the ring finger thing. I learned it as making a steeple with all first knuckles touching but the ring fingers up, then try to separate the ring fingers.
I have 2 impossible things, that I can do, involving the pinky. The first is to make a tight fist around your pinky, without bending it. My hand folds over so the pinky is crosses the base of the other fingers. I use this to do a much better variation of the pulling off your thumb trick.
The second looks like braiding your fingers. Some people can fold their pinky up over the ring finger, then the ring finger up over the middle, and so on. I can go the other way, folding the pinky down the side of my hand, then the ring finger over the pinky, then the middle and index fingers.
I guess I should post a video. Thank you for the inspiration and other nifty tricks.

What can I do? I can wiggle either ear independently of the other and hold them in the upright position for undetermined ammounts of time, do the 6 and 8 with no problem, touch tongue to elbow, do the one eyebrow thing (needs more work), and a few others. One of my specialties, however, is the arm bent from shoulder up around the head in front to touch the ear of the same side as the arm. I'm not sure I'm describing it clearly enough, but it certainly freaks people out to see it. That and the hands connected behind the back brought around front again while not letting go of each other.

I can:
Raise one eyebrow....but only my left one.
Wiggle my ears...but not independantly of one another.
Sneeze with my eyes open, but if I do it with my contacts on, they'll pop out.
Tickle myself...I run a finger along the top of my hip very lightly.
Paralyzed finger trick, yes, I can.
The 6/8 thing with the leg. Also the rotate fingers thing.Hubby can do the tongue touching nose thing...he has a very long tongue. It's useful for other things as well
Referring to #6, Tinkergirl...my son (he's 7 weeks old today) can cry/wheeze in two seperate tones...it freaks my husband out. Sounds like the kid is possessed
And my favorite single-eyebrow raiser has to be Christopher Judge...."Teal'c" on Stargate: SG1

The ring finger trick is easy if you keep your bent middle finger in the front. But if you bend it to touch your palm, lifting the ring finger becomes more difficult.

I can raise one eyebrow, wiggle my ears, and do a few of the tongue tricks. (I'm definitely going to practice that smiley face.) Also, like commenter #26, I can flex my fingertips while holding the finger straight, and I used to be able to bend my thumb forwards or backwards to touch my wrist. I can still do it forwards, but the backwards ability faded pretty quickly after I passed thirty.

I can lick my elbow, gleek, wiggle my ears, touch my tongue to my nose and chin, do the tongue curling tricks, twirl the index fingers, and draw the 6 and 8 while making circles with my feet. I can also bend in all sorts of crazy ass ways and touch my thumb to my wrist both backwards and forwards. And "shake" my eyeballs. And my toes are something else - I can pick things up with them, wiggle only the top knuckle on individual toes, bend all down but the big toe (like a "thumbs up") and other things.
Plenty of people can do the "paralyzed ring finger" thing with the FIRST knuckle down. Can anyone do it with the second? (I sure as hell can't)
It's interesting that a lot of people seem to be able to do multiple things on the "impossible" list, while some can't do any.

I can reach around my head with my left arm and touch my left ear; most people find this impossible, but a high ape index probably helps. Also, I have a couple friends who can make their eyeballs tremble or vibrate -- you look in their eyes and their irises shake. Cool. Finally, as a swimmer, I can attest that some people (not me!) can blow bubbles out of their tear ducts.

My parlor trick is "one hand clapping." It freaks people out, but I've done it naturally since I was a little kid. Basically, I can keep my wrist stiff, while letting my fingers flop back and forth really fast, making a clapping sound on my palm. It's pretty awesome.

I can wiggle my ears (though not independently, unfortunately) and sorta raise one eyebrow. Gleeking is something I've done many times but only ever inadvertently.
I totally can't do any of the other things here, and believe me, I've tried most of them. I think some of you are overestimating how common your talents are, though I also know many people who can do these things, so they're not altogether bizarre either.

This is something women can do and men cannot do. Place a chair up against a wall. Take three steps back. Bend forward and place your hands on the chair. Then while still holding on to the chair, move to an upright position without letting go of the chair. Women can do this. Men cannot.

My finger tendons seem to be attached in a different way also. If I bend or curl my thumb, using it's muscle to hold it in as tight a curl possible, then I CANNOT straighten my index finger and I can only slightly uncurl my middle finger. If I hold my thumb down with my other hand (thereby relaxing my 'thumb muscle') I can move my other fingers freely.
Wierd, huh?

I'm kinda asymmetrical on this... Can only move my left ear, can only curl the right side of my upper lip...
The only really weird thing I can do is "turning off" my reflexes (like when the doctor explores the knee with the hammer) except the ones involving the eyes.Here's a new one: Press the back of your middle finger on a table's surface, then move your hand so the palm is facing the table while keeping the rest of your fingers extended (so you're touching the table with 2/3rds of the back of the middle finger and the tips of the others) and there's the trick: try to raise your anular finger (2nd from the pinky) by force of will; very few people can do it.

I can do a bunch of the things on this list:
raising/lowering either eyebrow; gleeking; tongue to my elbow or my chin; all the tongue-tricks; clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation; sneezing with eyes open; plus a few others: reach around my head with my arm and touch the same ear; touch my pupils with my finger and fold my eyelids without blinking; actually the eyebrow-raising and the gleeking often happens by itself, which can be socially awkward -- if you don't already know how to do them, I'd advise against teaching yourself. -

March 20th, 2008 at

I can do the 6 thing. Turn my tongue riund + the parylised finger thing. I can also move my knuckles so that you can see/feel/hear them moving. I can also cross my toes, bend my thumb behind my han, touch thumb to arm + lie pinky flat across palm

I actually learned raising only one eyebrow when i was a kid watching johnny bravo on cartoon network. I tried to see if i could raise one, couldn't, and after trying for about a day or so I managed to lift the left one alone (started as basically lifting them both to the left). took a few days more to be able to lift the right one alone as well.
fun stuff

You fold them like you would fold your hands... interlocking your fingers together. But now do it with your toes... DON'T USE YOUR HANDS!!

Try this: Hold your hands in front of you. With one hand, make a thumbs-up. With the other hand, point with your index finger (palm facing your other hand, make sure your thumb is down. Now, switch so that the thumbs-up hand is now pointing and the pointing hand is now thumbs-up. Repeat, faster and faster. Eventually, you'll be able to do it very well.

Auto-fellatio is possible for any [skinny, otherwise healthy] person patient enough to try, but for those who are not naturally able (size, flexibility), it is dangerous and above all else extremely painful (besides the back pain, I get headaches and nausea). Personally, the pain keeps it from being any fun.

It's weird, but I found out how to gleek by yawning while laying on my back... no idea why, but it's very easy to do it in that position. Of course, the down-side is, your face gets very wet after a while. <<

Here is a different one. Hold your left foot with your right hand and then without letting go, jump your right foot through the loop. My kids can do it, me and my siblings can do it, my dad could do it. Other then family, I've only met 1 other person that could do it. Then to make it tougher, try to jump both forward and backward through the loop, my son is the only one I've seen that can go both directions.

My brother and I have been glicking for over 15 years.. we didn't really have a name for it so just made it up. Glikke or Glikking (based upon the sound made when forcing the spit out) - in norwegian, i doubt we created the word, but in all honesty we just made the word up, so a huge coincidence that it happens to be the same. We'd sit in the back seat of the car and annoy the hell out of each other. He would also create spit bubbles and blow them out so that they would land on me. Usually ended up in a fight or argument.
Wriggling of ears, the tongue tricks and eye brows all really simple - heard that most people cant do these tricks due to genetic differences, not so sure that is true. With a bit of practice most ppl can do it.

Well, the tongue thing I can do, the eyebrow thing with either eyebrow, the nose twitching, I can bend my fingers backwards until they touch the top of my arm, I can turn my feet completely backwards, and I can turn my arm full circle. Both of my thumbs can lay on my forearm, and I can bend and put my hands flat on the floor while my knees stay straight. I can sit in the cross-legged yoga position and bend completely forward putting my forehead on the floor.
Oh, and I have something called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and can dislocate any joint in my body. I'll trade all these talents away. -

also as someone else mentioned i can vibrate my eyes... that really disturbs some people... -

i used to be a dancer...

I can raise each eyebrow independently, do all of the tongue tricks except the clover, wiggle my nose, move my adam's apple up and down without swallowing, pop my ears without swallowing, plugging my nose, etc (by flexing the muscles that open my eustachian tubes to force a partial yawn), touch the end of my nose with my tongue, gleek, and even dislocate my shoulders by flexing a muscle (I can dislocate my hips in a different way).
I suspect that I haven't sprained my ankles for the same reason that I can dislocate my shoulders and hips.

~wiggle my ears
~Move eyebrows up and down independantly
~lock fingers
~blow the spit bubbles that float ever so gently through the air
~move my eyes in opposite directionsWith a resume like that, I do believe I'm a freak.
Although the I couldn't move my ring finger, touch my tongue to my nose or chin, gleek, or put my fist in my mouth. I'll keep working on it. -

I can shake my eyes back and forth extremely rapidly. I know two or three people in my school who can also do it so it's not hugely, hugely uncommon but the vast majority of people can't do it. Has something to do with the eye muscles or something I guess, I don't really have any idea how to explain how to do it.

It's interesting no one has mentioned this one yet: I can move my scalp. I can move my scalp forward and backwards without moving my ears or eyebrows.
I'm also pretty good with ear and eyebrow control (independently), and I can do simple tongue tricks. I can also make my thumb do the wave, which a lot of people I know can't do for some reason. I also pop my toes like you would pop your knuckles, and I pop my eyelids (put your thumb and index finger on each side of your upper eyelid, level with your eyelash, and squeeze - your eyelid should make a popping noise and separate from your eyeball). I can also twinkle my nose.

-rotate tongue 180 degrees in both directions
-cross my eyes without looking down then move one eyeball from side to side while the other eyeball is looking inward!!
-make spit bubbles that seem to fly away
-vibrate my eyes
-make my hips popGlad to know there are other people who can do the same thing!

'Bonus: The Paralyzed Finger Trick' I DISAGREE! I realized as i performed the hand action wrong that this it's true for me. With my middle finder bent, I CAN lift up all my other fingers. However, with my ring finger bent, I can move 3 fingers but not the pinky AT ALL (I can feel that they are connected).

This might be a new one for you. Hold your right arm before you, elbow bent so that your hand is before your face. Put out your index finger and move that finger or wrist in a circular motion with the top of the circle moving away from you.
Bring out your other arm in a similar fashion, but move THIS WHOLE ARM in a larger circle towards your body and AROUND the other hand. I'm not sure I've explained it well enough but most people cannot accomplish this feat. It took me a while to get it down.
Another trick to try is to hum AS you are whistling. It makes for an odd sound.
Lastly, an eye trick. Try to keep one eye straight and move the second towards the first. Again, it's slightly difficult for most to master as many people simply cross their eyes.
As far as your list goes, I can:
Raise one eyebrow, either one, or both
Gleek
Wiggle the ol' ears
Wiggle my nose by either flaring my nostrils or by imitating a rabbit. -

OK, so I can do most of the tongue stuff, the eyebrow stuff, the ear stuff, i can vibrate my eyes, i can put my hand behind my back and touch the opposite ear ( i can even get my finger in my mouth), i can pop my big toes continuously without fail, but... and I have not seen this mentioned at all so I know I must be the biggest freak there is, however if there is someone else out there like me I would love to become your friend...
You know the part of your ear that is in front of the canal? no the big floppy round part but the tiny, kinda hard part? I can make that compress and decompress kinda like a twitch on command and at the same time, a sizeable dimple compresses above and to the right of my upper lip. This only works on my right ear, however. But, I've never come across anyone that can do this. If you can, write me jtrwallace@yahoo.com
Perhaps I'll put a video up. -

I can raise just one eye brow on command, but only my left one. I'm pretty sure I could learn to do the right one also I just didn't waste the time trying.
I can also do some of those tounge tricks though not all.
I have never been able to understand why everybody says you can't tickle yourself ... I've been able to do it for as long as I remember. Just because I know what I'm going to do and there is no "suprise" factor in it doesn't seem to have any effect on the ticklish sensation for me.
I also know people that can twitch their noses and wiggle their ears, when I tried to learn how it seemed impossible to me.

There's another trick i can do i havent seen anybody do in my life: I can pull out both of my shoulderblades out of my back about 15 cm. If i do both at the same time i have a huge bump on my back, everyone who sees that wants to touch my shoulderblades T,T.
Doing one at a time is most fun, it comes out furtherst then, i just love the looks on those faces! -

The paralyzed finger trick is understood by anybody who's studied piano much (or, I'm sure, any instrument that requires a lot of independent finger control -- but piano is what I learned...). The middle and ring fingers are connected and hard to control independently. Schumann (the composer) tried so hard to strengthen his ring finger that he injured his hands permanently, losing his chances at becoming a concert pianist and turned to composition instead.

This grosses almost everyone out: When I clench my fists, the tendons on the backs of my knuckles move to the outside of my fists (away from thumb). This is accompanied by a fairly loud popping noise. If I do it a couple of times in a row, it starts to hurt. I can raise one eyebrow, roll my tongue, and rub my belly and pat my head at the same time. I can also pull the tendons or whatever they are out on the sides of my neck.

It says it is impossible, but I actually can tickle myself somewhat. I am VERRRYY sensitive to tickling, so I guess that's why. I don't know if this is as uncommon as I think, but I used to be able to twist my arm all the way around, before I hurt my wrist and elbow.

The paralysed finger is not impossible. I was able to do it.
Another one that's along the same lines is put your hands together but instead of it being palm to palm, bend your middle fingers and keep those together (kind of like with the table but it's against your other hand). Your other fingers should be touching only at the tips. Now try separating your ring fingers without your middle fingers coming apart too.
I guess, if you're double jointed you can do both of those. -

One i hit my friends eye but then he sorta got a little angry and yeah. I find that if you wife all the saliva of the top of your toung with your hand and then do it, it will come out in one, or many streams. Good for peoples eyes.
Now with that bring the world with gleeking. GLEEK4LIFE

I am a master of quirking an eyebrow while keeping rest of face immobile. I can flare my nostrils. Can clover my tongue. Can draw a 6 and do clockwise circles. One thing that took me a bit to perfect was to be able to make my lower eyelid judder at will. I contract a muscle that pulls the lid closer to my nose, this action pulls the upper eyelid down. It freaks some people out for some reason.

I've always been able to lift either one of my eyebrows by itself. It has always confused me when people have thought this a unique or amazing ability.

Re: "6. Wiggle Your Ear",
For me it was like I had this muscle that I never consciously flexed and so I didn't know how to tell my brain to move my ear. I noticed that when I yawned I used my ears muscles, so I just tried to recognise that muscle and wire it up to my brain. Faking a yawn works too.
Anyway, give that a go.

Let's see, I could always one eyebrow at a time(bonus trick - I can also "vibrate" my eyeballs, which tends to gross people out), can wiggle my right ear but not my left, can do a couple of the tongue tricks, draw the number six while moving my leg in a clockwise motion, can painlessly dislocate my right shoulder on command (which also grosses people out), and can lift my index finger very slightly with the middle finger curled under. We've a weird family that sits down and figures these things out just to out-gross-out each other.

Also, you need to explain the finger paralyzed one better. Your middle knuckle should stay on the table and you are only supposed to lift one finger at a time.

I can move one of my eyes at a time. It's an easy trick to do if you can cross your eyes and concentrate. Start by crossing your eyes, then focus on looking left. If you concentrate, your left eye will rotate by itself, since your right eye is already looking in that direction. Follow up by crossing your eyes again and then looking to the right. Takes a little practice but it never fails to freak people out.

I can flood my body with adrenaline at will...
Doesn't sound much, but there are several good side effects, which of course I can do at will.
1. It makes my pupils dilate.
2. freaks out lie detectors
3. lifts my balls up into my body
4. keeps me awake on long car journeys
5. sobers me up real fast
6. keeps the brain racing in exams
7. actually reverses/stops an orgasm as you are cumming (the GF loves that one) -

I can raise both eyebrows independently. Meaning, I can raise first left, then lowering left and then raising right. It's quite simple and I've been able to do it forever.
Another thing I've been able to do forever is to twitch my nose and move JUST one eye. It's kind of creepy but I posted a video in youtube about it.
Search for the video under maq0r in youtube it's called 'crazy eye trick'.

Since I can remember, I could raise my eyebrows independently, twitch my nose, wiggle my ears (also independently or one on it's own), touch my chin with my tongue (but not my nose), move my scalp and move my eyes independently, but I had to practice the gleeking, which I can also now do.
To me it's natural, don't know how others cannot do it so easily.

I can raise one eyebrow at a time, alternate between them, make the wave. I can move my ears, and alternate between them also. I can do the tongue stuff too. Everything else-nope lol. When I raise my arms in the air and put my hands together and kind of pull my arms upwards, "wings" as my mom likes to call pop out. I don't know what they are though, but it's kinda neat.

If your wondering how people can raise their ring finger while holding down their middle, it's because the knuckle on the middle finger moves over to the right (or left, depending on the finger). My mother and I can both do it.

I originally made this up. Don't be a noob and steal my trick, or else I guess I'm just going to half to uber-pone you in the face with a gravity hammer on Halo 3!!! Don't worry, I was just kidding. But seriously, don't take credit for this. It's all MINE! MWAHAHAHAHA! -

I can wiggle my ears, as could my dad but my mum can't. So it's genetic. I can also lick my elbow, as in the point of my elbow. I can also raise just one eyebrow. As for the 'Paralyzed finger Trick', I can move that finger completely on it's own. x3 I can also put my hands flat on the ground from standing up without bending my knees; although I am hypermobile which is probably why I can do all these (and more LOL) The one thing I cannot do is do anything with my tongue except roll it.. my friend can do all those tongue tricks though. x3

A neat little hand trick is to do the Star Trek hand sign thing without touching your hands. Now once you get that pose... bend your pointer finger and pinky finger to 90 degree angles while your middle and ring fingers stay spread in the V.
Most people can't do it without assistance from their other hand.

I can do something only a handful of us in this world can do. It's my
claim to fame. I can burp the ABCs nearly 3x. 2x very clearly, but 3x I have to do it fast but I can do it. And their not weak burps either. Also I can burp on command, and fart on command. I can burp so loud it WILL damage your ears.And all of you are not doing the ring finger trick properly. You have to bend it at your second knuckle AND push down or have a friend push down (that way is guaranteed that u can't move it). If you can do it -prove it with a video, not so hard right?

Also one more that is fun to master. I mastered this perfectly from martial arts.
Put both hands out in front of you. With your left hand, just make point with your index finger away from you and hold it there. Now with your right hand, give a thumbs up and hold it there. Now switch them (so now your left hand is a thumbs up and right is pointing). Swith them again. Keep switching as fast as you can. Also, you cannot move or twist your hands in any way, that's cheating. Most people can only do this once, then their brain can't comprehend what's going on until u learn how to master it. Good luck.
