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

      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’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.

    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.

    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.

          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.

    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

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

    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.
