    I can bring my hands from the back of my body to the front (and the opposite) while holding them together. There might be a use for this if I ever get tied up.

      Me too. the local police even stopped handcuffing me behind my back because I’d just step over so my hands were in front again.

    I can twitch my eyeballs left and right really fast, and not just a little bit - but most of the way.

    Completely grosses people out when I do it.

    Edit: I can even do circles, but not as fast as left and right.

        Neat! Thanks for the name/info.

        I’m the only person I’ve ever met who can do this. It’s apparently somewhat more common than I thought.

        I’m an old man, but I still do it specifically to my sister because she cannot stand it. /sibling rivalry lives on

    You know that feeling you get when you listen to really awesome music and your hair stands on end and your skin has like an electric tingle all the way up and down? I can do that feeling at will. It’s called ‘voluntary frisson’, normally an autonomic response. Makes music a real.trip.

      I can do this too.

      It’s fun to watch people freak out when one can raise his body hair up on command. And since I have an abundance of body hair, the effect is pretty profound.

        I can do both of those and I can do it with my collarbone up against my neck. I do it accidentally all the time while leaning over and it catches me off guard all the time…and makes me giggle, because I am very mature.

            Ooh, I hadn’t thought of trying that yet. I can do it, too! Thank you for helping me learn this new talent. That pressure/suction is a weird feeling on the eye lol
