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!

I can’t get it!!!
That’s pretty weird, I never noticed that. Drawing a 6 in the air with the right hand is a counterclockwise motion. At best, your right foot will only move back and forth.
a bit of concentraition makes it possible to do it without having the foot go the other way
Its very easy if you write 6 in a different way. Start writing 6 clockwise from where the end and body of the number meet…….
It’s really simple!
But then that wouldn’t be right, while also ruining the enjoyment of this marvellous trick. Thanks Vurdlak.
If you are left handed this fails :)
hey would you please do the morally right thing and spread the truth about September 11th 2001 (NYC 9/11) and July 7th 2005 (LDN 7/7) far and wide…. George bush LIAR
try making 6 in a different way.. then its possible.. !
Eh, I’m young. Not to hard overcome it. All depends on the anatomy of your brain I guess. Dont mean I’m smarter just more corridinated.
My foot didn’t change direction.
My foot didn’t change. Maybe you meant to say left hand?
this is a fantastic illusion, unfortunately i learned to draw sixes the incorrect way so it doesn’t work for me unless i get totally confused about which way I’m drawing my six!
Awesome
I can do it…
This failed on me.. I’m not left-handed although I can write and do stuff on my left hand, but I use my right hand more.
Oh wells :D
