Mind over matter

[andyp]

Can anybody explain this? or even do it? I couldnt and neither can my mates or my girlfriend!

Ok hope this makes sense.....

1. First of all sit down.
2. If you are right handed, raise your right foot off the floor and ditto if your are left.
3. With the raised foot, roll your ankle (continuously rotate) clockwise.
4. Whilst rolling your raised ankle, draw a number 6 in mid-air with your writing hand.

Your ankle automatically starts to rotate in the opposite direction (anti-clockwise). How and why?... very strange but funny!

... how bizarre...no matter what I did the ankle went in the opposite direction.

One for the office tomorrow me thinks :D:D

:D

Its mad! i love wierd stuff like that, always good to have a fun bet with your mates down the pub!

Anyone else get any little tricks like that? Please post em

Good one. I would guess it's cos you go anticlockwise to start writing six!

[MattR]

Actually I've got one, give the ball to Azer Karadas (our striker on loan from benfica) and no matter which way he runs the ball won't end up in the net :D

thats brialliant! cant wait to do that in the pub.

another oldie but goldie one for the pub:

1. get your mate to put his thumbs flat side by side on the table.
2. bet him a few bob that he can't balance a full pint on his thumbs.
3. get his pint and place it on his thumbs (it will balance)
4. then off down to the next table with your mates. he wont be able to get up without spilling his pint :)

Try drawing a circle in mid air with one hand and a square with the other. Start with the circle, then when you start the square, either the circle hand stops or becomes a very inaccurate jerky circle, or the square becomes circular

[MattR]

Stand with one leg off the ground bent at the knee to behind you. Close your eyes. Now try to balance.

Try drawing a circle in mid air with one hand and a square with the other.

That's impossible!

here is another one, it doesn't always work but when it does its a classic.....

1. Write on a piece of paper RED HAMMER, dont show this anyone and put the paper in your pocket until the end of the trick.
2. Pick a volunteer
3. Ask the volunteer to answer your questions very quickly.
4. Ask the volunteer the following questions in quick succession letting them answer accordingly.... what is 3 + 3? What is 2+ 4? What is 3 x 2? What is 5 + 1? What is 7 - 1? what is 8 - 2?
5. As soon as the volunteer has answered the last question, ask them to quickly name a colour and a tool.

They usually always say what you have wrote on the paper and when it works it is quality! Try it on someone. :D

Not really a trick, but stand side on to a wall with your arms at your side and press your arm hard against the wall for 30 seconds, then move away from the wall and relax....

Or if you place your palms together in the praying position, fingers straight, then interlock your middle fingers only, you can't move your ring fingers apart.
