Allright here's what I want you to do - while sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction and there's nothing you can do about it!
By the way, you've ruined my life with this lil' trick.
Fanny
pussy
it did not work 4 mua
kuki
what happens when a friend or a machine continues moving your foot in clockwise circles, cant you paint the 6 then?
vos
this is like the pat your head rub your stomach trick. it only works if you don't realize what is going to happen. ask someone else to do it and after they have for a while ask them which direction their foot is going.
george
didn't work at all. I didn't even really think about it. lame.
jkf
Sitting makes it easier becuase you don't haveto worry about falling. This gives your brain one less thing to think about and allows you to accomplish this feat with a little concentration.
if you start at the top of the six it's very hard to keep your foot going in clockwise circles. but if you start in the middle of the six (as many left-handed people do) it is very easy.
Lori
It worked on me and most people I told it to. Very weird.
Michelle
Ummm, this may sound freaky..but I did it..and I really didnt think about it...what now? And I thought I wasnt smart...lol..well bye
Kumar
I could do it too after a minute though the first time the foot did change direction. lol. Amusing!
Cazze
Ok I didn't even know my foot changed direction 'till I looked down!Creepy man.
Annie
Eh? fisrt time ive done it... nuthin happened! :) i guess i have a deformed brain.. or im better than you guys or the person that made this up :D jk
Farted
I tried it on my family and no one could do it!! We all moved our foots the other way... we had a good laugh.. But Ben helped me out. It is easier if you do your sixes backwards... do the circle followed by the tail. Thanks BEN!!!! 6
Joe Schmoe
I think a cop made me do this once :)
Nomad
I can do rotate all four of my limbs independantly. Perhaps it has something to do with being a drummer, and being able to control all of my limbs independantly anyway. Still, neat stuff.
georgina
that was so easy then again when im bored i just automaticaly try doing allsorts of stuff like that
Katie
this was weird. i did wit ma right foot and it work and then i tried wit ma left and it worked. on right and left i did counter~clock~wise and it went clock~wise!!!!!!!! lol!!!!!!!!!!!
Reyn
I did it and it worked....dunno if it has somthing to do with being 12 (younger than most people who tried) anyway thx for the laughs...this whole site Rocks!
juan
Its much much harder, if insted of making a circle with the right foot you try to make an 8!
Farted
Reyn, your 12? I'm one year younger than you, and you think it's hard! :)
Cindy
piece of cake! multi-tasking is my middle name!lol!
naty
its cool and interesting it was hard for me but i got it after a few minutes of hard trying
Hai
whoa
kitty
o_o
dan
im 11 and i did first time...
Josh
At first i tried and could not do it. So I thought about how to trick myself into doing it for a second. If you start at the top of the circle vs the top point of the 6 both your hand and foot are going in the same direction.
Damn! I got caught with this one, well done illusion website you have impressed me! ;)
purple momo
OMFG!!!!! I DID IT I DID IT OMFG I DID IT!!!!!!!!! 400 tries it took but i fkn did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lulu
fantastic - great site, thanks for the laughs!!!
Bryner
ok... if you draw the 6 backwards... you've totally defeated the purpose of this test... the point is - its difficult to rotate your right arm and right leg in opposite directions to each other... if you're gonna try drawing the 6 backwards, then you should be turning your foot anti-clockwise.
... btw after a couple of tries i still couldn't do it... LOL!
Rayne
I did it easily and nothing changed it's direction.
pooped
sorry farted
camila
my foot moved clockwise while I was doing the 6 in the air!!
M 2 the H O
i can do it on second go, but wobbly, try starting the 6 backwards not from the tip but from the end of the circle bit, u can do it then
M 2 the H O
im 13 and i did it the second time but cudnt do it after that, lol. damn, i CAN do it ;P
M 2 the H O
ok don it 1s more and CANT DO IT AGAIN DAMMIT, ps. 4 those of u who inquire about my gender, im a girl
crazy_daisy
i'm 13 too and i didn't make it! =P i know another one like this:lift your left foot and make clockwise circles,than try to draw the number "8" with your right hand.try it =) if someone makes it:wooow man!you're the best!no one i know has made it!
Doesn't work for drummers. Try doing opposite circles with each foot and then darwing a 9 and a 6 in the air. That'll give you something 2 think about.
pink
omg thats wierd...
AAAH!!!
AAAAH!!!

any phisical illusion can be beaten with consentration
this one is no diffrent

iv known how 2 do that since i was 3

EASY!!!!!!!!!!! COULD DO IT FIRST TIME
Choco-Holic
My foot didn't turn counter-clockwise. I made a backwards 6!
katz
it's easy! i did it!
wazup looser
thats cheap magic i did it and i helped my self ( @$$3$)
mariah
I found that if I simply made a counter clockwise circle, I could maintain my foot in a clockwise motion. But if I was positive to make a 6 with my hand my foot would change.

that did not work
maybe its because im a lefty and always use my left side of my brain
i also am ambidextrious

Bad foot! It worked for me about 2 times out of 6. But then again, I knew what was coming.

Um, I tried it and it didn't really work on me.....

r u guys sure u did it??? did u do it with ur left hand by mistake i used mi left hand nd thought i did it but *sigh* i didnt

i can do it because i draw my sixes the wrong way round

so easy!!!

I tried this and I can go the same way! that is a waste of every bodys time... wait a second...I got it! The optical illution is that its wasteing our time! Never mingd thats retarted. ( I think I just had a conversation with my self ) - mrahahaha

Umm... I Can Do It. So Don't Say i Can't.

Uh... That's actually really easy for me... I did it right the first time... It's a little harder when you stand up, but if your not retarded I can't see how you would have a problem with it.. Sorry

Nobody can do it!! You guys just thought you did and don't understand what time-sharing system is.

It worked! Another trick is to rub your tummy in circles with one hand, the other tap your head. It's sort of hard, but you'll get used to it, depending about your health. (I think.)
I tried to not think about the foot and see if it would happen, but it kept going the right direction the entire time and I wasn't thinking about it. But, then again, I'm a bit weird.
Clayre
it didn't work at first.... then i realised that i was going the wrong way to begin with.... i'm gonna have hours of fun now...... :P

Hey Reyn (comment 21)im only 9 and i excpect many more younger people on this site
i teistd and turned, i trid and trid again.........
but i still couldn't get my foot to change direction. that is the crappest optical illusion ive ever seen!!!

I dont get it, a kid in class was telling me about this, and i just did it, i dont get what is so hard... i can even do figure eights and go counter clockwise with my right hadn while my right foot is going clockwise... i was told that it was physically impossible... but i dont get it its so simple...
Anonymous
wowww that was fun. it didn't work for me at first, at all, because i make my 6's starting in the circle and going up, aka counterclockwise. but after i remembered that most people start at the top, i tried that and it TOTALLY worked. whoo. that was crazy!
you can cheat by simply starting from where you would normally end a 6....that way your strokes a rea clockwise and coincide with you foot movement
Anonymous
it should say draw an "8" with your right finger.
JK
You can do it if you draw the six in a clockwise spiral-like way. @ Anonymous: the way you draw your 6's, from the circle, that way I was able to do it easier. Is there something wrong with me?
This exercize seems to be exactly like rubbing your stomach in circles and patting your head at the same time, except I can do that first try.
Anonymous
Ehh...it didn't work. Before I read it I could still do it without cheating.
black tiger
I already new that. There is another one that if you stand in a door way, put your arms down at your side then press them against the door way with your palm side down as hard as you can. Then after 30 seconds take your arms down and they should rise without you doing anything!! Try it it is really weird.
Excellent, it worked with me! It is due to the activation of an ancient survival instinct, that was important for the jumping among the trees of our monkey predecessors.

yes you can, all you have to do is draw the six backwards no matter what order the combo is ( right foot, left hand: left foot, right hand ) It works all ways.
lol. that's screwed up.
Didn't work. Granted, it took some concentration, but I could do both.
Yeah It didnt work on me either but i did have to focus.

My foot did change direction. Maybe it would have been different if you didn't tell me it was going to happen...
i find these SO easy....but amy e thats cuz me and my friends practice this stuff for fun....I;m 13 too
its easy!!! i did it like on a lot of other sites, never made a mistake or anything...
hi everyone!
im a girl and i have no boyfriend but a girlfriend!! and im like soooo happy because we're going to "see" each other later! i cant wait!
im right handed and i write my 6's from the centre clockwise. it was easy
Fun lol,
Are there dutch people anyway?
THAT IS SO COOL!
that's creepish!! i do it!! i can't help my self!!!
Awwwwwwsome!!!!
It really works
Very cool
i was able to rotate my foot clockwise and make 6's. 1st try. not that terribly difficult. it takes a bit of concentration though.
Disappointing for me :( ...
Did it 1st try, wasn't even thinking about it lol. After thinking about it and trying again it was actually harder... hehehe
I can do it.
I did that to my friend and she was still able to draw a six while turning her foot!!!!! WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH
Omg, it's easy to do. But it requiers consentration
This stupid test almost sprained my freking ankle.
so very nice
No Foot Turn Clokwise ( dumb foot!)!!!!!!!!!
what if you start your sixes in the middle? then it works just fine!
Weird... I can do both, but not without thinking about it.
it no work, one i know is extend your 4fingers and try to spin in opposit directions
i have done that before.
Doesn't work for drummers. Try doing opposite circles with each foot and then darwing a 9 and a 6 in the air. That'll give you something 2 think about.

yer i cando it proper boss XD am i messed up? lol
wow, I can do it without changing direction!
HUH?
how is it suppose to work? never mind, didnt work
I've done something like this before, only instead we were supposed to make a sideways figure 8 (or infinity sign) rther than a 6.
this didn't work for me.
