Eric's Writing, Genuinely Ambidextrous

Not the lame stoner/artist trick, this is real. Eric has a habit, call it a strangeness. He can write, full speed and perfectly legible, with a different color pen in each hand. It's the most stunning example of truly ambidextrous behavior I've ever witnessed. His left writes every other letter while his right writes every NEXT letter. No trick, no joke. When I first saw it I thought he was goofing on me, but here it is on video.

i saw this the other day, and i've been practicing for a bit and i must say im getting pretty good LOL one question though if he writes with say a blue and a red pen and he wrote hello would it be h is blue e is red l is blue l is red and o is blue?

[captainbedworthy]

from the poster: the upright of the 'h' red, the downstroke in front in blue. letters involving multiple strokes [t,r,k] two colors, single strokes, one color. one color per pen stroke.

looks like he self taught himself ambidextrous by the way he holds his pen in his left hand

[captainbedworthy]

Far as we know he figured it out himself. This isn't the kind of skill one can teach I don't think.

[captainbedworthy]

I imagine he uses one hand for normal stuff, like school papers and writing on forms etc. This is something he started to do a few years back he says, and once he figured out he could he kept at it for creative writing and poetry etc. He's said that his brain gets into a state where it's better than sex. (I doubt it myself) Still, it is actually what it appears to be, amazing.

@Bigbird5553 its probably easier for left handers because they have to write in a right handed world

[craftgrrl14]

I write like this, i write every other letter with each hand. unless it's a letter like a t or x that requires two strokes. Then I write one stroke of the letter with one hand and the other stroke with the other hand.

hes not even writing with his left

[machpuncher]

i am ambidextrous too, and i can do that

[KypiHabbo]

@captainbedworthy it is.

[Bigbird5553]

@marboms actually it is teachable. Some parents encourage their children at a young age to both write the alphabet with both hands. The Romans also encouraged using both hands. There is some thought on it being easier for a left hander to pick up then right handers.
