It worked for the first 2 times, and after that I was able to do it without focusing
the first 2 times worked, after that I could do it without focusing.
I can do it! ok it took a bit of concentration but i did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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…
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!
haha yeah, I was able to break it, I did it,
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh someone call a doctor!!!!!!
Didn’t work. Just… didn’t. Got it on my first try.
Whoa! That’s creepy! I tried as hard as I could to make my foot not turn but it made my head hurt…
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
it should say draw an “8″ with your right finger.
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.
Ehh…it didn’t work. Before I read it I could still do it without cheating.
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.
I can do it!! hahaha I beat the trick!! YAY
i can do it but i have to focus x-x
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.
i did it its not that hard you just have to think about it first and do the zero of the six first and do the six backwards
I forced my foot to continue turning clockwise, but my foot messed up and I twisted my hip trying!
Seriously – how do you do that? I didn’t even concentrate – I as reading a book and a got a friend to look and she said that it didn’t work on me!
i can keep my leg going in circle with my hand drawing the 6.p.s still 11!
Just start in the center of the 6! (:D
i can do it if i draw the 6 backwords.
I agree, just concentrate
um… it didn’t change directions…
I didn’t need to concentrate or anything, it just didn’t change…. guess my brain is messed up ^-^
Yeah, I’m able to do it easily… I don’t even have to concentrate.
Oh dear, I cant both! My foot just starts swinging backwards and forwards before kicking my desk… tried it 4 times… What is wrong with me!?
At first it worked but then I concentrated and I could do both! But it’s a lot of fun to try!
“IVE GOT IT!! THE ANSWER IS SIX HUNDRED!!
for all those who said it doesnt work……probably cos they consider themselves VERY clever! They all talk sh1t. Fact: people who think with the right hand side of their brain ALWAYS think they are right!!!!
I am ambidexterous. I can rub my belly and pat my head at the same time. I can writr a 6 with my right hand, and turn clockwise circles. also with left side, counterclockwise! Does being amidexterous have to do with it?
actually drummers can do it i can coz this nurse told me to try it to stop my bordem sooo then after a lil while i could do it coz i drum a lil bit lol ^.^
Woah o.o
hmm… seem i CAN do both~~ the first time!!!~~~ its not hard at all~~~ (i think it has something to do with playing the violin…)
hahaha ;)) good1
so cool
i did it… not so hard
that’s what my piano techer always tells me.now I can do it easily.
Mine didn’t switch
What’s up with the hoof picture?
Actually, I think that this is just to imbaris you in front of EVERYONE!!
OMFG! IT HAPPENED! THAT IS JUST TO BEEP FREAKY!
I can do it. ITS EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didn’t work, foot was still going clockwise and hand was still making 6s
i could do it easily its not hard for me idk why though??
if you turn your foot for 20 mins. and then try then it doesn’t matter and you can do it.
