I tell people I can wiggle my nose and they laugh after I just use my fingers to wiggle it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Amazing dad joke. I'm totally using that someday lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's like proving you can stick out your tongue and touch your nose. But with a finger because you never said you could touch your nose with your tongue.

I popped and locked back in the day and can do the wave w/ my arms. I end up doing it on like 80% of first dates that are going well.

I win a lot of bets by telling people I can do a full 360 without breaking eye contact. If you can balance while bending over backwards and spinning it’s not too hard.

I can make a smoke waterfall out of a pack of cigarettes.

off the chain!

I'm a drummer so I often have drumsticks in my hands. I can hold each end of a stick with both hands and get the stick from in front of me to behind my back without taking my hands off the stick or hung under my legs.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I've yet to do it. But I can remove any of my fingers. As long as there's a sharp object around.

I just have to figure out how to put it back on.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't like this parlor I'm going home

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

I should probably do the same. Along with all my intact fingers.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can juggle.

Or whistle with just my tongue. Sounds like one of those wooden train whistles.

Or card magic trick.

I can guess the color of a peanut m&m based on the taste.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The color of an m&m peanut? Seriously?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can guess the color too, with a 20% success rate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Legit hahaha. They taste different. I encourage you to try it. Don't chew, just taste the outer shell for a little while. It doesn't work as well on normal M&Ms because of the size I think.

Blue ones tastes the strongest, followed by green. Yellow and red are hard to tell apart. Brown basically doesn't have an odd taste. Ta da

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Best. Trick. Ever. And you get to eat m&m's

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can light a match and teleport the smoke so it comes from my mouth instead of the match

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Are you some modern rogue or something?

Just kidding, it's one of the fun tricks I also know.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Spill it that sounds cool af

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Google modern rogue. They have some basic fire eating trick videos.

I also used to be able to perform a muscle pass with a coin. Basically flexing my hand in a way that would cause a coin to "jump" a couple feet into the air as if it were defying gravity.

Another one was being able to slow and stop analog watches. But that's just a ring that's a magnet and when you bring it close to a watch it will hold the springs and things inside.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Always good to see a fellow rogue in the wild ;)

I can open a bottle with a ring I'm wearing, thus making it look like I'm just ripping the cap off like some kind of intoxicated hulk

One time I was so drunk I tried to use a gold ring I was wearing instead of my usual brass one, and it broke and I cried lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Sometimes it's my earrings, and that's all I want to say about it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I can dislocate four of my fingers. I can use this to do the finger splits.

I can also lay all my fingers flat on my palm (same hand, I'm not being a smartass). Can't bend them all the way back though.

I don't know. Maybe.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'm still working on it but I'm decent at rolling a coin across my knuckles
