Stupid "Human Tricks" Writing Upside Down and Backwards

[kaihamil]

Now what I do believe is the snap and ambidexterity is a talent on your part... But mirror writing???... It just takes discipline like everything else. No talent just the inspiration that God gives us...

[Featureman]

@kaihamil Thank you.

it just takes some practice



[Featureman]

@1nobodynos That is true. Thanks.

[firelaker]

i always wright upside down

[Featureman]

@firelaker Thanks. I guess we are rarities.

[firelaker]

@Featureman Lol yeaa. everyone at school always says "omg how are you doing tht?!?!" but its just normal to me :D

[haywardsacsd]

@Featureman me too i write my notes in school upside down

[haywardsacsd]

@Featureman ok nevermind lol i wrote that comment before watching the video... i can't write in cursive ;( but i can write sideways (still not in cursive)

[Featureman]

@haywardsacsd Thanks. I started with printing and then script later as I went through school. It all seems to just be in what we happen to be most familiar with. Have fun with everything there.

[BellaCullen1918017]

This Video is one of the coolest on youtube.com he he!

[Featureman]

@BellaCullen1918017 Thank you very much.

[BellaCullen1918017]

Awesome video! It was really cool.

[Featureman]

@BellaCullen1918017 Thank you.

[BellaCullen1918017]

Awesome video! It was really cool!

[cidXsherra]

thats how i right is upside down

[Featureman]

@cidXsherra Thanks. Most people can't do that. I did not realize it was unusual until I started doing it.

[freakybomwha]

your hand writing was still neater than mine baring in mind you wrote it backwards and upside down! :(

[Featureman]

@freakybomwha Thanks. I do write more neatly upside down than I do rightside up.

[freakybomwha]

@Featureman

[freakybomwha]

haha 

[Suzuhira1987]

@freakybomwha that's pretty cool

[riotofdablood]

we never saw the comment. sorry i cant belive that

[squash656]

that was cooool!!!!!!!!

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[HouseMaster15]

Holy smoke you are good!

[Featureman]

Thanks. I am nowhere near as good as some people at this sort of thing. Professor Backwards was the best but there are very few videos of him.

[kaihamil]

hey, next I'm learning to talk backwards ( ;

[Featureman]

That will be a good trick if you learn to do it. Professor Backwards did a very funny act years ago where he talked and wrote backwards. There was another man on Johnny Carson'r show years ago who talked backwards and was funny. That video might be at YouTube.

[kaihamil]

dude ur stupid i can do that easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Featureman]

But can you write right side up? That's the hard part.

[kaihamil]

@Featureman yes I do, upside down, mirror, upside down inverted, and lefft to right ciphered mirror and I even sometimes do mirror where to interpret the writing you must read it by holding it up to the light and there is a second interpretation of the poem also in mirror on the flipside and the second interp allows you to see past gibberish that I put it in front of on the flipside every 2-3 words or so, its fun u should try it sometimes but its still a stupid human trick like u said.

[Featureman]

That is a great talent, seriously. Most people cannot think in reverse. That was one of DaVinci's tricks, I believe. Check Leonardo DaVinci's writings and you will see we are in rare company.

[Featureman]

Yes you can. Thanks.

[shushupjade]

im 14, and ive been doing it since i was 6 (:

and my teachers all think its amazing.

[Featureman]

@shushupjade I started doing it in grade school when I was about 9 or 10. The best I have seen was a guy who called himself Professor Backwards. He was funny. There are very few videos of him to be found now.

[shushupjade]

OMG

i cAN WRITE UPSIDE DOWN ASWELL

:D

[Featureman]

@shushupjade We are few in numbers but it is a fun thing to do. Thanks.

[99messiah99]

to call my kitty cats i say heeeerrrre kitty kitty kitty kitty kitty and so on.... but REALLY fast. lol

[Featureman]

That will do it. Cats are pretty smart. Thanks.

[TheAtticusify]

[Nautypaw]

wow, that is pretty awesome :) i'm really impressed.

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[IxGriiMeYxI]

Wow, that was crazy, the writing looks really hard to do, but i might try and learn that finger snap thing, to call my cat =)

[Featureman]

Thanks. The upside down and backwards writing is pretty easy actually. I just found out I could do it one day when I was in grade school. Have fun with the cat. They do respond to that once they learn it.

[IxGriiMeYxI]

Awesome! how long did it take your cat to learn it?

[Featureman]

I think he learned it after the first meal. Maybe it took a couple of days at the most. The other cats in the neighborhood never paid any attention. If you say "here, Kitty. Kitty." they all know that. Thanks.

[kaihamil]

@IxGriiMeYxI and @Featureman yah that fingersnap thing was actually pretty good not a minor feat at all looks like a lot more than only worth stupid human trick status, i think that is a uncommon trick.

[Featureman]

Thanks. It is a minor version of what once was called hamboning. There might be a hambone video somewhere.

[kaihamil]

@kaihamil I have taught more random people how to write backwards as I went along pretending to boast as people like you do... Will you still say it's a really special talent??

[Shadow8055]

I love the finger snap. The upside down and backwards trick looks challenging, i'll have to try that too.

[Featureman]

Thanks. I do recommend searching for Professor Backwards if you can find any of his old videos. he was funny like Rodney Dangerfield, plus he wrote upside down and backwards and he talked in reverse. His true story had a sad ending. He was a murder victim.

[Shadow8055]

I'll look up on him, he sounds quite funny. I loved Rodney Dangerfield. That's quite a sad story, though.

[theomagic]

Nice one.

[Featureman]

Thanks so much. I wish there were more videos available of Professor Backwards. He was great at writing upside down and backwards plus he was very funny.

[Nastc1]

I can write upside down and backwards so that you would need a mirror to read it. I figured out I could write in a lot of weird ways. Just seems like it's how my brain works that allows me to do it. =D

[Featureman]

Thanks. Yes I have done that. I think that was what DaVinci was known for doing when he wanted to keep something secret. I think it is just something in our dimensional recognition that changes how we perceive images.

[akumitzu]

lol!! i can write upside down and backwards too!!! LOL!! but i'm a lefty, so writing reversed comes too easily for me!! The fact that you do it as a right hander is very impressive! 5 stars! XD

[Featureman]

Thanks. We seem to have a rather rare talent. I am glad there are others out there who do this.

[wolvesandpokamongal]

sweet!!! <3

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[stickystick105]

wow ur really talented man!

[Featureman]

Thanks. It is something I learned I could do when I was in the fifth or sixth grade. Writing right side up I am not as good.

[dragonmana15]

that is cool grandpa! ☺

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[frugoo420]

[Featureman]

Yep.

[grumdrig]

just so you know, that finger snapping thing has a vulgar meaning in some countries similar to giving someone the finger .

[Featureman]

Thanks. I did not know that.

[frugoo420]

i didn't no that either

[SnraicArama]

wow! that's cool!

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[1wer1]

I used to write my name backwards and upside down when I was like 5 years old I thought that was how to write my name when I was little. lol

[urbanartuk]

this is good... but I'm afraid the finger snapping thing is something thats been around for a while, I've got it nearly quick enough to sound like one sound

[Featureman]

Thanks. One of the things that used to be popular was what was known as "hamboning," which is slapping yourself in various areas with a rhythm. I never learned how to do that but I think that would make a good YouTube video if someone knew how to do it.

[angelofdeath3790]

you write better upside down then when i write normally lol

[Featureman]

Thanks. Me too. I write sloppier when I write right side up.

[Sweden80Here]

Hehe you are cool guy ! Thanks for posting

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[TwilightPrincess45]

DUDDEE....!!! your good xD

[Featureman]

Thanks. My right side up writing isn't that good though.

[rijnhaven]

Your Not Special In Any Way...

[Featureman]

Thank you. Professor Backwards was the amazing guy. He wrote upside down and backwards and spoke in reverse.

[cheerfever1579]

sooo cool.

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[Featureman]

I think he stands on his head. I'm not sure.

[TommyEmoBoy]

TALENT!

[Featureman]

Thanks. If you ever get a chance watch some of the old videos of Professor Backwards. He was sensational.

[ronnieboy2rdot]

I hope you don't think I am stupid. I wish I were as tallented as you. I sent you a comment before and wish you someday could see my farm. I can only farm but wish I could be as talented in music and art as you are. I admire you and hope I could adapt something from you that would make me feel proud.

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[ronnieboy2rdot]

I can't write that good forward and when I am upside right. I wish you could visit me on my farm. I AM GOOD AT THAT.

[Featureman]

I don't write that well upside right either. I give it more thought upside down. Thanks for the comment.

[tayfan2]

I'm glad I'm not alone. I've been writing backwards in cursive since grade school!  It was my form of "doodling". Check out mirror writing on wikipedia. Leonardo Da Vinci wrote that way.

[Featureman]

I have met a few, but very few people who write backwards. Thanks for the comment.

[destroyerofcookies]

thats crazy

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[zzuebe2]

Well, I can write frontward with my right hand and backwards with my left at the same time, the same sentence. I think they call what I do "mirror writing", but upside down, now that's AMAZING !!!

[Featureman]

Hi. I could not do both hands at the same time, especially one going backwards. I could do mirror writing with the right hand but I can focus on only the one hand while I write. Thanks. It is interesting what people can do.

[Uberjoe19]

Leonardo da Vinci could do that also.

[Babybubblesluv]

wow that was crazy how did you learn that!!?

[Featureman]

I never learned it. I just found out I could do it. Thanks.

[dany55655]

u r so cul for a gramps !!!!!!!!!!! :)

[Featureman]

No grandchildren yet. No children either. That's why I am so cool. I don't have any worries. My grandpa isn't cool like me. Thanks.

[dany55655]

ur welcome

[XxXchaoschickXxX]

You are THE best.

The bomb, indeed.

I love your classic HELLLLLLLO!

[Featureman]

Thanks.

[XxXchaoschickXxX]

Youreeeee welcome.

=D

[mlerose1107]

WoW!! I am impressed. I like to write letters to friends backwards.(so they usually have to read it in a mirror) I think once you begin doing it, it is in your head. I will do it with billboard signs while driving. (just to practice... I can't help it.) I will need to try the upside-down version. Thanks for the video. :-)

[Featureman]

Thanks. I am glad I am not alone in this.

[deathshore]

Nice. Writing upside down and backwards.

[deathshore]

Nice.

[tunisianswife]

I'm sure it has something to do with how our brains are wired. Kind of along the lines of the artsy brain vs. science- math brain. I bet if I were to ask, you'd say that yes, you have an ability to think abstractly. (okay, enough analysis. can you tell I'm a psych nurse?) I tried it and I can't do it. that was fun to watch.

[Featureman]

It was something I started doing in grade school when I noticed I could read upside down after I watched Professor Backwards doing it.

[shooter042]

Tom, I've seen a number of weird things done by many people, but this really takes this biscuit! Keep them coming!

[Featureman]

Thanks. I will try to keep having fun. I do recommend if you get a chance to watch Professor Backwards. I don't think he has any vids here, but if you search the net you might find him. He was so great and his life story had a tragic ending.

[shooter042]

Tom, yes indeed. The moment I had finished the "Stupid Human Tricks" video, I did just that. For the time being, I am unable to uncover anything on Professor Backwards, except his sad demise. I'll keep looking though ...

All the best from the French capital and keep us entertained!

[ajisabrat]

i wish u where my grampa

[Prometheus494]

me too =)

[FPSSpectre]

W..TF O_______O

[seeso]

Wow!!

[draedlus]

Nice. Your penmanship upside down is clearly more legible than mine is when written in normal fashion. It wasn't much, as you stated, but I am impressed nonetheless.

[Dtwnwldcat]

wow use really must use your brain on that! Nicely done! I have subscribed for awhile and your videos are very unique! I loved the one with SwiftKarateChop!!

[Featureman]

Thanks. I try not to use my brain too much. I want to keep it as new as possible. The upside down thing came easily for me. I started doing it when I was in Grade school and I realized I could read upside down.

[Dtwnwldcat]

wow well that is a skill you could use in everyday life while hanging upside down lol Well I fell honored to talk to you Featureman!! Have a good one,

Dtwnwldat

[TheDrummerBoy99]

That was awesome !:)

[jcphoto]

wow, thats better than my handwriting even when i write right side up!

[BigLon]

VERY impressive. You know, I used to be very fast at writing backwards, but I had never even thought about writing backwards and upside down at the same time. I better not try that, my brain might implode.

[Featureman]

Hi, BigLon, I probably would find it harder just writing backwards without the upside down part. I used to watch Professor Backwards on TV before he was murdered. He would also say the words backwards.

[BigLon]

And that finger snapping, I used to do that same thing exactly. Finally, they had to send me off to the mental hospital, strap me down, and give me shock treatments. Luckly for me I escaped form that mental institution, not so lucky for everyone else.

[Featureman]

The secret to being crazy and getting away with it is to have a cat. You can do anything and say, "I'm playing with or calling the cat."

[patman2112]

Nice one

[kittygorrawrr]

i was going to tell you that you forgot to cross the t in gentlemen, but you already knew that I see.

Good job, I liked your video. I've seen many people do that snapping thing, but never to call your cat. Good idea!

[Woofer818]

Nice job on writing backwards and upside down! Keep making your videos ^^.

[Featureman]

I forgot to cross the t and the other t. I am getting too mature to think upside down as quickly as I used to do.
