"Dumb but impressive tricks" Whats yours?

I can blow spit bubbles off my tongue. They float around in the air like soap bubbles.

I can roll my belly! The funny thing is women react by shuddering, looking away and finding it disgusting but fascinating, men think it’s sexy and get all … you know. :smiley:

I’d give it all up to be able to raise one eyebrow and say “oh really”. **Jumpbass ** video please.

i can get a glass through a jug handle, and turn my car into a driveway as well !:smack:

I can do that!

My other trick is to drink an entire bottle of beer while under water in a hot tub. The trick is to exhale into the bottle.

If you were doing this as a bet, how do you prove that you’re not just letting the beer flow out into the tub? Aside from it being your hottub and not wanting beer in the water.

Mine is a bar trick. I wait until my cigarette has about an inch left (of tobacco, not including the filter, but it really doesn’t matter how long it is for this trick, it’s just easier when it’s shorter). When no one is looking I’ll grab a piece of ice out of my drink and hold it against the tip/pad of my middle finger for about thirty seconds, then, quickly, I’ll drop the ice and dry my finger on my pants. Now that my finger is nice and numb I can get someone’s attention and say watch this…I ash my cigarette and hold it, the long way, between my thumb and middle finger with the burning cherry against my finger…watch jaws drop. I can usually do it for about 5 or 6 seconds without any pain whatsoever, I could probably hold it longer but I know that even though I can’t feel anything I could still burn myself.

I can cross one eye at a time.

I can also wiggle my ears, which I taught myself to do after I got glasses.

“This guy I knew in college” could produce rather spectacular pyrotechnic displays with his flatulence and a Bic lighter. Of course, he is considerably more refined and dignified now.

My silly bar trick used to be blind taste identifying most gins back in the mid 80s, because most bars at the time had the same stuff, tanqueray, bombay, gordons, segrams and beefeaters. most people don’t realize that gin flavorings are proprietary, and if you have a good taste memory, it can be done. Of course you have to actually like gin and have drunk it enough to be able to sort out the flavors.

Pshh, that’s no big deal. Given the opportunity and your permission, I, too, could lick your nose!

I’m pigeon-toed and skinny so ever since grade school when they made me do this exercise, I could literally pull my feet under me and sit on them. Still can.

And I’m a guy in my 30’s.

I can recite the alphabet backwards as fast as others can recite it normally.

I can cut a deck of cards one handed. I hold the deck in one hand between my index and forefingers and use my thumb to cut it and slide the top half under the bottom half.

Also, I can shoot an entire game of pool either left-handed or right-handed, depending on the mood I’m in.

I can set a cube of chalk on top of a pool table rail on the center diamond,set the cue ball on top of the chalk,freeze an object ball to the opposite rail on the table surface on the center diamond and cut the object ball in the corner pocket.Don’t make it every time,but I get odds.Win a bunch more than I lose.

Can’t anymore, but as a memory exercise, I used to be able to recite the state capitals forward and backward – by city name, or by state.

Wiggling the ears, scalp, and nose, I could do reliably when I was younger.
I practiced raising one eyebrow,(I was just fascinated with Mr. Spock), I thought I had it down so I tried it on my mother. She slapped me silly!!! We had a laugh about that a few years ago, when reminiscing. She thought I was giving her some sort of EVIL EYE.

If we ever play poker, you don’t get to deal. Sorry.

My thumb is double jointed, so when I do a thumbs up sign, my thumb bends backwards over the knuckle at almost a 45 degree angle. My left thumb goes to about 25 degrees.

It’s really funny, when somebody asks me what makes me special, I break out my thumb. When they say that’s nothing, I say, let’s see yours. :slight_smile:

You know those skinny metal chin-up bars?

I can hoist my legs up over them and then hang…from my heels. Achilles tendons directly over the bar, knees slightly flexed, rest of me hanging down. Maybe everyone else can (for all I know) but I’ve never SEEN anyone else do it and whenever I do it people act amazed.

I break boards with my head, hands or feet.

I, too, can flare my nostrils. My nostrils seem to lack proprioception, so I used to have to look in the mirror to know if I was doing it.

I can pat my head and rub my belly. More easily with left hand on head, right on belly.

I can write mirror-image style with hardly more effort than required to do it the normal way.
