Left Brain, Right Brain Magic TrickAllright 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!

    thats really kewl!

  2. dylangibbs says:

    umm… no, i can control it!

  3. Richard says:

    That’s amazing. I’ve heard of a few other similar ones, but this one is excellent

  4. gogonutz says:

    it actually does work if you write the 6 by starting at the bottom circle and make the circle clockwise and then go up and end with the stem of the 6

  5. kelky says:

    I don’t understand. I’m not having any problems with it, no matter which direction I draw the six.

  6. Logan says:

    I am doing a project for my AP psychology class on right and left brain and i was just curious as to how this trick determines which brain is more dominate for you.

  7. llonkyram1 says:

    yeah… ur right….!

  8. nobody says:

    chuck norris can rotate his foot clockwise and draw a 6 in the air at the same time…..so can flaming ninja unicorns….

  9. Nick says:

    i tride it my foor tride to revers but didnt then i did it agean and kicked my tower.

  10. ChocoBunny says:

    Lol!!!!! It’s really hard, but I have this math teacher who can draw with his right hand a circle in the air and with the other a triangle in the opposite way… Hard!!!

  11. Shaygirly says:

    It didnt work…Never has either. XD

  12. cheese says:

    this isn’t really an illusion but it is a cool trick

  13. Zeno says:

    It doesn’t work if you star from the bottom, but if you start from the tail its counter intuitive.

  14. Abby says:

    omg! that i so fun! you try and try but you can’t control it!!!

  15. Sparta says:

    That is impossible! I can’t do it!

  16. milie says:

    HOLY CRAP YOUR RIGHT

  17. anon says:

    I’m not sure. I think this is the same difficulty as doing two different things with your two hands. They’ll try and mimic each other, you have to restrain yourself otherwise. The loop of the 6 is going in a CCW motion. Your foot goes CCW as well. It could be a brain trick, but I’m not positive.

    to tell you the truth, at first i thought it wouldn’t work but know i’m banging my head against the wall. Great Job?

    One question though, Why did you put a camel foot next to what you wrote?????????????????

  19. lily says:

    AWESOME!!!!!!

  20. unknown says:

    when u relax that will happen, but if u will ur foot to stay in the same direction u can do something about it
    but for some ppl even if they use all their willpower their leg wud still turn to the opposite direction becuz they have a different kind of brain

  21. Derrick says:

    If I close my eyes I can do it no problem. It becomes a bigger excercise in mental control with the eyes open.

  22. Chrown says:

    Yeah I can control it. And that’s why left-handed people rule. :)

  23. amando96 says:

    I can, i’m ambidextrous! ha
    i think it all has to do with timing, and rhythm of your moving leg to be honest

  24. boredomdelux says:

    @patty that’s not a camel foot, it’s a horses hoof ;)

  25. Sean says:

    easy as pie

  26. Angela says:

    The first time I couldnt control it but the next times i did it i could

  27. josh says:

    it didit work but i play piano so that helped

  28. monckey4 says:

    for a moment my foot kept going clockwise, then it changed.

  29. Hi says:

    I did it A LOOOOOT of times in a row….only ONCE it did what u said it would do. the other time nothing happened…

  30. dulcemargaritanataliaramitezluna says:

    son alucinantes wow me encantan

  31. kassi says:

    If you move your foot slowly you can do it without switching anything. haha

  32. wp plugin says:

    LOL So, i made my boyfriend do it and he was freaking out cause he couldn’t keep his foot going clock-wise! lol He looked so silly doing this for like 20 min.! Jeza

  33. Jon says:

    Fail. I maintained clockwise motion on the first try.

  34. KAthy says:

    Yea i could do it at the same time..just dont ming your right hand drawing the number six on air focus on your right foot.

  35. KAthy says:

    Yea i could do it at the same time..just dont mind your right hand drawing the number six on air focus on your right foot.

  36. LaurenGod says:

    I could do it without any will-power whatsoever… What does it mean if you can do it?

  37. Phil says:

    Alright, here’s what I want you to do….learn how to correctly spell “alright.”

  38. erik says:

    i can do this easily i don’t get why some people think it is hard

  39. Lad says:

    i had no trouble…fun trick, but the implications presented here are a bit misleading – believe it or not, there are people who use the two halves (of their brain) as a whole ;)

  40. Kevan says:

    Actually it only worked for me when I started drawing the 6 from the top and moving down [I normally write it starting from the circle]
    Very interesting.
